Understanding the Limitations of PPS  

Original Post:  Well, I did a lot today. I went to the library for Dr. Bruno's book (The Polio Paradox), pharmacy for an anniversary card, made my puppy a raincoat, made my awesome breakfast muffins, then I prepared 4 batches of the dry ingredients to make more of those muffins.  I made supper and I am finally sitting down . . . . Mind you I made all of this in stages while sitting down for long periods in between. I’m tired but happy with my day. This means I'll be pooped for the next few days so I'll rest, rest, rest.

Dr. Bruno’s Response:  You should have read the book first so you wouldn't have done so much. Polio survivors only have so much energy. It's like money. On days when you have cash (energy) you can't spend it all on shopping and cooking and then be poor (pooped) for days!  

Being totally “pooped” is your body saying "TOO MUCH” !   Damn the muffins and full nap ahead!
