Success in Sweatpants

I know. It’s been a while since I posted. I went into surgery last week, and the weeks leading up to that were distracting, to say the least.

It was not “heavy duty” surgery. Laproscopic outpatient surgery that has left me with 5 incisions healing on my stomach. It was a “re do” of the same surgery I had a year ago to fix what the doctor took too long to diagnose. If he’d been paying attention six months ago, it probably could have been fixed without surgery, but that’s another story.

The funny (and embarrassing) part was being told by the surgery nurse that when I was coming out from sedation, I couldn’t stop talking about work. I had to email this, make that phone call, and on and on. She said they kept telling me that I didn’t need to do any of that, but I was having none of it.

It’s unnerving to know that my subconscious is all work, work, work. I guess on one hand it’s understandable–I have a lot of irons in the fire and this economy is calling for lots of innovation from me and my clients. On the other hand, I know (at least consciously) that there is more to life than work. My dogs remind of this on a daily basis when it’s time for a walk–they literally obstruct my access to the keyboard.

Well, no sense resisting it, I guess. I’m a working fool. It’s good to be sitting up and online again. I’m looking forward to being back to my old self, and sharing sweatpants success stuff with you!
