I… may have overdone it yesterday.

Ok I did overdo it yesterday. I walked for over an hour, and I went to see people, and generally tried to pretend that I’m not impaired, when I am. It didn’t help that the heat went out in my room, as did half the power to the apartment. I made some poor recovery choices, and now I am paying for them with aa lot of exhaustion and couch time.

One of the biggest impairments to my song things that I wasn’t even really conscious of its how much this vest restricts my breathing. Even light exercise on half oxygen really takes its toll. While my vest was not as tight as aa binder when I got it, swelling plus padding makes it considerably tighter, and I don’t get to take it off ever.

The vest padding is packed with foam that acts as a dressing, and my skin really does not like it. The way to counter the itch is to take benadryl, which led to further adventures in the land of “Fen should not take adult portions of drugs.” I’m now taking half a child’s dose, which just about gets rid of the irritation without knocking me out entirely. I am – that said – half passed out on the couch as I write this.

Tuesday can’t come fast enough sas far as I’m concerned.
