Boring but fast!

Since the day of the surgery my days are somehow a little bit boring. Ok, maybe not boring but different and with very different activities. Normally, I wake up early to go to work and I spend many time in the company of people. Now, I spend almost everyday at home doing shoulder exercises to recover, watching TV, reading, writing on the blog, checking e-mails and searching the web for short movies or other stuff.

Fortunately, the recover is going very well, and today I returned to the hospital to remove the stitches from the three cuts which the doctor used to penetrate inside my shoulder joint and work. I have to do the exercises five times a day! It’s awful! It’s necessary at least half an hour to do the three exercises (arm curl, arm pendulum and shoulder rotation like “moving the soup”), and another half an hour cooling the joint with ice. So, it takes at least five hours everyday for this. Two times in the morning, two in the afternoon and one at night. Some days I can’t do all the five times because I need to go out to take care of some issues.

The days get bored because of this. I spend almost all day home alone doing this exercises, and, to save my day, I try to do other things that I didn’t had much time for. Maybe that’s the best part of this! One of the things I’m discovering is that the internet is full of shit, but also has many things worth seeing and thinking about. The world is indeed a big place full of people that understand it in many different ways, giving us, “the others”, the opportunity to have many perspectives, and in our individuality, become more plural.
