I'm getting ear surgery soon, (my 7th one on my left ear) and I won't be able to pace for about 2 weeks. I have to get a huge incision in the back of my ear, then they will lift it up, then repair a hole in my eardrum, then sew it back down. I've had this done before. The pain meds are so strong you can barely walk. Not listening to music/pacing is going to drive me INSANE! I'm worried....last time I had this done, my DDs weren't as time consuming as they are now. I'm so nervous...
Haven't been able to pace for months and months due to living in too close a proximity to my room mates... I dd less and have much less intense ones now but I still probably procrastinate just as much, in a much more boring way. The closest I come to pacing is standing in one spot and shifting my weight between my legs while listening to music, and I think my roommate can still hear me. Though I do take advantage a bit on the rare occasion when all of my roommates are out of the house at once... xD
