I spent this early morning in urgent care! Now I'm on doctor's orders not to do physical activity for seven days. You've probably noticed I am moving this week. This is hilarious. The doctor was like "You should avoid all physical activity for seven days!" and I was like "Uhhh, I'm moving, so not so much" and he was like "Would you rather not move or be in the hospital" and I'm like "would it be a hospital in Tucson?" and that's apparently not the correct answer to that question.

Soooooo I'm going to get help from friends as much as I can and cook food for them and handle all of the paperwork and logistics and errand-running and... yeah. I'll probably still end up lifting some things, but I will try to minimize it at least. And if Rik catches me doing hard work he will probably make me stop. ^^;; On the plus side I will hopefully be clear to lift things by the time the truck actually shows up in Tucson. Otherwise uhhhhhhhhhhh I dunno. I will use magic. Or something. I am going to assume the problem will be solved by then and deal with it then if it isn't.

Also, don't ask what my medical ailment is, I will not tell you and then proceed to be irritated with you for asking. <3

Ready for my robot body now, indeed. I hope your move goes as smoothly as it possibly can.

The only time I ever managed "complete rest" was when I tore a ligament. And in that case I spent six weeks on a sofa feeling a complete fraud as it only hurt when I put any pressure on it (when it was agonising).

Take care.

Oh, no, that sucks, good luck!
Last year, I managed to have a decently high fever on moving day (and also the week before moving day) which was no fun at all! But I was moving down the street, so it was still ... doable.

Good grief! You really need to dial the excitement level in your life back down ... by rather a lot.

Get well soon, and listen to Rik!

moving minions can be acquired with money. Brian got not insured minions referred from the uhaul site, and they were pretty good and hireable on like no notice. It was still less sketchy than random dudes off craigslist, although one of the guys was an illiterate man with a pet raccoon who doesn't take drugs because of the side effects, except pot, which has no side effects. Good mover, though. It takes all kinds. The differences I noticed were the price, and they didn't bring the truck, and they were less careful with boxes -- nothing broke, but some were inverted.

So yeah, ask the moving sites about moving help. It's probably cheaper than flying friends in.

Anyway, trust the doctor! If you end up back in the hospital because you push it, it will probably be much worse, whatever it is! You don't want that even if it is a hospital in tucson!

I second this. Hiring movers to pack is really effective.

Get well soon!

Oh geeze. Perfect timing.

Hopefully you will be okay enough to do all the driving needed to get you cross-country!

I am heartened by your inestimable wit, as always, and urge you to (do the obvious, which is to say) take care and be well!

on a less useful note - try using the magical ability of magic!

Oh jeeze Rax. If you send me a date and time and address I could start hunting around for a ride down to Tuscon from Phoenix if there is enough of a muscle deficit to warrant enlisting near internet strangers.

Something similar happened to me the last time I moved. I injured my arm and couldn't pack or lift boxes. Thankfully I had four strong men that I could boss around, so it worked out. ;)
