Today's Update
Well yesterday was really rock bottom and today has been better. I took Tylenol PM last night only to stay up for a few hours, eye pillow over my eyes, monkey mind jumping round and round, first one thing then another before finally passing out. I did, however, actually sleep at that point but not for a hugely long period of time before The Son was poking his head in begging for media time. I had a better day all around, was able to be up and around more without feeling like keeling over. I even managed to make a Candy Fairy run as the kids left the Candy Fairy a basket of goodies. On my adventure to the toy store I ran into Dr. Mike (Laproxdoc) who informed me I was definitely favoring my left side. It was good to hear... I've been standing up much straighter ever since. He also helped me carry Red Bull and Sprite to the car. I don't normally drink either but I'm going to try and wean myself from two shots of espresso with the Red Bull and I bought some Sprite because my stomach has been turning tricks whenever I eat which is likely thyroid related.
After coming home I spent some time on the floor... my practice again but this time I remembered to breathe. Janu Shirasana, Ardha Baddha (and I can even bind on one side without stretching the front of my body... yes I realize that sounds funky but I have hugely long gangly arms). I did some lunges. I held my leg for Utthita Hasta, what, C. I took a walk around the block without getting winded and walking at a normal pace though the breasts still tend to hurt by the end.
Sitting and laying is still uncomfortable (and I have an enormous amount of pillows around me). I'm going to sleep in the non-underwire bra tonight and see how it goes. I've read the kids two chapters of Harry Potter -- can't read much more than that outloud without straining.
But, at least I'm not down on the ground yelling Help... things are looking better :)
