So at least I can work the heating and cooling remotely without having to get on my feet.
I wouldn’t wish what I’m going through on anyone. Not even the worst of the worst on the planet would I wish this sort of recuperation upon. The last six months, I’ve been very slowly recovering from a really bad accident. I left the central air conditioning of my home early, before sunrise like I do every morning. Getting a run in before heading off to the zone controlled HVAC of the office is something I’ve done since I started my career. There is something about getting out in the quiet pre-dawn hours that sets the tone for the rest of the day. I tend to wear ear buds and listen to music while I run. That’s why I didn’t hear the drunk driver jump the curb behind me and mow me down on the sidewalk. All I remember was being lifted into the air and then the next thing I was doing was asking the nurse to turn down the air conditioning. Of course, I was drugged up and feeling nothing at that point. I can’t say the same for the last six months. It’s been brutal to be stuck at home inside the central air conditioning of my house. Between the pain, the physical therapy and the sheer boredom, I’m doing my best not to lose it. But at least the HVAC technology has my back. I have a smart thermostat which comes with an app on my phone. So at least I can work the heating and cooling remotely without having to get on my feet. Just getting to my feet takes so much effort. But at least it’s possible. It’ll be another blazing Summer so I’m glad that I at least have my air conditioning comfort at my fingertips.
