What is up with the tired? I come home from work and by 5 pm I am so tired I can’t keep my eyes open. If I sit down on the sofa, it’s all over: I wake up 2 hours later. If I power through and do things around the house, by the time 8:30 rolls around, I have to prop my eyelids up with sticks and they ACHE with tiredness. <\/p>\n
I’m not tired when I get up, even though I’m not sleeping all that well (too warm, too bright, gotta pee, whatever)<\/p>\n
I’m not tired at work. <\/p>\n
It’s just when I get home and start to relax a bit.<\/p>\n
Today I worked until 7 pm trying to get through the million ads I want to send out, that are due while I’m on vacation. I made it through about 3\/4s of them. It is a LOT of ads going out. I also worked late because I didn’t get into the office until 11:30 am.<\/p>\n
We were at the hospital this morning, at 10 am, for x-rays and then the consultation with the doctor. It was a different doctor than the one we saw first and when he came in the room, I thought, where’s the doctor? The doctor can’t be this CHILD. Seriously, he couldn’t have been older than 20. But he was brisk and efficient, and he told us that Martin’s x-rays looked great and he was healing really well, and he was going to take the pins out right now.<\/p>\n
“Wait, what?” said Martin.<\/p>\n
“Yep! Right now! You won’t feel a thing. Or at least not much of a thing!”<\/p>\n
And the doctor unwrapped his bandage and pulled off the gauze and yanked out the first pin while Martin was still boggling.<\/p>\n
“One down! Two to go!” said the doctor.<\/p>\n
Martin turned his head back and said, “Wait, what?? You already took one out?”<\/p>\n
“Two down!”<\/p>\n
When he pulled on the third one, the head of it came off, and he had to pull again, but it came out just as quick.<\/p>\n
He put the pins in a little tray and I boggled a bit myself… they were FIVE INCHES LONG.<\/p>\n
“Do you want to take them home?” asked the nurse, who was putting a band-aid over the holes.<\/p>\n
“WHAT? NO.” said Martin.<\/p>\n
“Oh,” she said, a trifle surprised. “Most people want them as a sort of trophy.”<\/p>\n
“C’mon, Martin, please??” I begged.<\/p>\n
“NO.”<\/p>\n
*sigh*<\/p>\n
Then we went to the physical therapist and she gave him a bunch of exercises to do every day, at which he got really depressed, and asked me if I was sure his old sling wasn’t at home. Nope. No sling.<\/p>\n
No pins! No sling! YAY!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
