sunmeadow 82 Posted July 20, 2017 My surgeon kept saying he doesn't want me lying around watching TV...ok, message received. I know I need to be walking, but I can't do that all day long (and I just got home yesterday so I'm a little hesitant to venture too far yet).What are you doing to keep yourselves occupied? I bought a bunch of books, but reading is basically the same as lying around watching TV.At some point, I'll probably sort through clothes for donation, but I'm not feeling robust enough for any major chores (and I did most of the big stuff before surgery anyway).What is there between lying around and walking constantly?

justbrez 16 Posted July 20, 2017 Luckily, I'm a beader. Have gotten lots of bead embroidery done for my fall/holiday shows. I also make felted scarves, but with temps in 90s and 60% humidity, going to wait for cooler weather. Hard enough to stay hydrated in the house! 1 sunmeadow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard enough to stay hydrated in the house!Nice!I've been told we will become those people who are always freezing cold, but 90 is still 90 and humidity is humidity, though I hear we're getting thunderstorms tonight that will bring in some cooler air. I hope you get some of that relief. (I'm in New England) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So lots of sweaters for me! 1 sunmeadow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
