So after all that resolution/goal setting, I have ended up with an unplanned pause. Goals around exercise, work, eating etc somewhat go out of the window if you are in a hospital bed and not in control of anything.
Home now and on Day 11 since surgery, and I'm doing my best to be mindful but, to be honest, it has been more "zombie" (mindless) than mindful.
Now I am staple-free, I can at least start moving more like a normal person rather than hunched to reduce the pressure or friction on my wound site.
Unplanned or not, I have some time to take a breath, to catch up on some small tasks (nothing that involves major lifting or driving !), do some reflecting.
One thing I've realised is that I currently seem to have 2 modes - flat out (when at work), or full stop (like now, when I have no option). Very monochrome and something I need to work on.
