So…today was the first day I’ve been on complete bed rest…I only get up for bathroom purposes and to fix food to eat. Other than that…I don’t get up…just like the doctor said. It’s actually kind of nice…sure…it’s somewhat boring but…there’s a lot one can do while lying in bed…a lot of relaxing things…like reading…crocheting…etc. I have no pain today either…which makes it completely worthwhile…and my feet and legs actually look like feet and legs rather than logs with toes so…bed rest is doing it’s job! I am so much more comfortable than I was before. I thought I’d be annoyed with bed rest but…if I’m going to feel this good…I can definitely handle it! Iain seems to be enjoying it too…been kicking even more than before…didn’t know that was possible! I feel a little bad for not being able to set up the apartment and do errands and such that I’m used to being able to do but…I’d much rather feel great than feel like crap so…it’s just something I have to get used to. I made a list of everything that needs to get done (talk about overwhelming!) and Jim said he’d whittle away at it during the little time he has at home. Like I said before…if some things don’t get done…they don’t get done…I’m not going to kill myself over the small things. So…today was just the first day but…so far so good!
