Man guys, I had a pisser of a morning. Felt like death warmed over.

So I slept and laid around all day. Now I'm wide awake, even after muh "meds".

I fell much, much better though. Not doing anythig is the hardest thing I've ever done. :/

I hear ya brother.. Just sitting around when I know there's stuff to be done KILLS ME!!
I know you've heard it again and again, but you gotta give your body some time to heal. If you over-do it a little, that's just like taking steps backwards, and makes it take longer to fully heal. A bit more azz to couch therepy will go a long way!

Hope you feel better soon!

We did make it to church. Yay :) but he did have to go walk around halfway through. He gets pretty stiff. Also he had taken all his meds before we got there. Never been doped up at church before lol. A couple in the church wanted to take us out to eat. Got to eat at a Mexican buffet. Unlimited white cheese dip. Can you hear the excitement in my post!!! Haha. Pretty sure he didn't leave the recliner after that. He's getting his days and nights mixed up :)

Is that the third or fourth time you posted that? :bang::bang::angry::angry:

I know muh friend. It's just so freakin hard to "sit". I never, ever just sit. Working midnights, im used to no sleep and always on the go. Now I'm supposed to do the exact opposite of everything I've done for the last 7 years. It's an entire lifestyle change. I promise ya muh friend, no more "I've overdone it" posts. I'm going full bore into "relax" mode. Sure do wish I had some rope cheese to keep me occupied though. :laugh:

I think we need to give him a visit with about 4 rolls of duct tape! He will stay in that chair :D

Zip ties work better. Don't ask how I know. :laugh:

Having your days and nights mixed up ought to be normal for a 3rd shift worker. Rember to take it easy for a few more days. You will get better but it will take some time.

Yep. In my life, up means down and left means right.

An old man at work says " You never get used to midnights, u just get use to feeling like crap". He's oh so right. :laugh:

I did 24 years of swing shift! Changed shifts every 7 days! Never knew what day or night of the week it was? Plus a lot of double shifts on top of that! Did 3 years of night shift in the oil field before that. I would take all nights any day! :D
