So I having been signed off work for another two weeks yesterday morning, I then proceeded to do 9-10 hours work! Rather than working at my desk, I took my laptop up to the den and sat in my armchair with a lap table so I could bring the laptop nice and close. I think the better sitting position (I’ve always found that chair the most comfortable) and probably the different effect the ibuprofen is having meant I felt ok. I think about 4 hours would probably have been a sensible limit, but I was engrossed in shortlisting for the 5-6 vacancies I currently have in the team, and I wanted to finish whilst I was still in that mindset.
Almost certainly as a result of overdoing it yesterday, I had quite a rough night with back pain. Unfortunately this morning I have stomach pain and feel quite nauseous so don’t want to eat anything and consequently can’t take any ibuprofen. I was hoping to get to the pool this morning to do some of my hydrotherapy exercises, but I think I’ll have to see how I feel in an hour or so.
