I'm not the best patient!

August 16, 2022 2:27pm CST
After my tooth extraction I was told to "take it easy today and not exert" myself. Anyone who knows me knows I do NOT like to sit still. Sure enough my, what do you call it, tooth hole? started to bleed. So back to reclining for me. I'm bored and annoyed. Lol I'm not the best patient. The nice thing is that my husband got yogurt for me, washed all the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. He's a keeper! Are you a good patient, or do you usually go against your Dr's orders?

I try to be. But, I also know how to sit still, so.

@Mysticpizza I've learned I can be active and sit at the same time.

@kaylachan I can do things but not as active as I like to be. I have back issues so sitting, or lying, isn't comfortable for me for longer than an hour or so. Getting comfortable at night can be a trial.

I'm a pretty active person so sitting still is hard for me until late in the evening.

Mostly I'm a good patient - unless I start to think I know better than the doc!!

@Mysticpizza They do indeed. Thankfully ours is very sensible - but maybe we only think that because his ideas suit what we think.

That's not out of the realm of possibility these days. Some Drs have major god complexes.

I obey the doctor's advice as long as I apprehend danger.

I'm just impatient with myself. But that's okay. I've faced it long ago. Lol
