Driving, Miss Lizzie!
Yes, today I drove.
It's a good thing, too. My car needs to be driven every two weeks or so!
I was glad to get out of the house too.
I didn't go far. Just two miles to the bank and back. I needed to transfer some money and couldn't do it online (for some bizarre reason) but could handle it all at the ATM. So I dressed accordingly this morning (I've not been wearing a bra most days, so I had to remedy that today) in some lounge pants that are decent enough for public and a clean tee shirt.
I took a little throw pillow and put it diagonally across my middle, with it under the lap belt but over the shoulder one. It wasn't too bulky for driving but I think it was much better for my incision area (when I had my doctor's appt last week, I forgot the pillow but did keep my hands in front of my incision the whole time - but not exactly a way to drive a car).
Other than that, it was uneventful. It's not like this is the first time I've gone weeks without driving, though probably the first time I've gone so long without being in the car at all.
I'm tired today. I got up and put away all my laundry. Then I started doing things that I'm supposed to do on my list. Things like calling the imaging folks who did my sonogram to ask about some billing. I paid a few bills. I called the exterminator because I think we have termites again. And now I'm exhuasted. I still have lots of things left to do, but I'm well on my way to half of them, so I'm satisfied.
But a little lie down in front of the TV for a half an hour and I should be right as rain.
Any questions or feedback? Feel free to email me.
