Today was a good day pain wise. Yesterday I was able to walk a step or 2 without my walker, today I was able to walk a lot further. It is exciting. I am able to walk to the bathroom and back! WALK actually WALK...not limp! It is a great feeling.
I went to bed late last night because I just could not sleep. So today I woke really early due to the discomfort so I took a break-through pill. Than I tried to go back to sleep again. But I couldn't so I ate some breakfast, checked my email and such, checked my sis's blog and finally got tired enough to go back to sleep. I put on my CPM machine and iced my knee and I was able to fall back asleep again for a while.
I have been letting Meghan sleep in because it is her summer and I really do not need much help. I really am doing well. I do not need as much help as we all thought I would. I can form coherent thoughts and speak clearly. I think that the saddest thing about this is that I can not read. My attention span is a little short right now so I have not been able to curl up with a good book yet, but I think that is coming soon. I do get nauseous if I do not take my nausea medicine. I also am tired a lot. It is weird I am VERY tired but it is hard to actually sleep. Like right now I am falling asleep as I type this, but I am not tired enough to sleep soundly.
My lungs are doing good. I am not coughing anymore and I am not running a fever at night either. I was able to feel useful today! I helped Honora upload all her pics to her facebook.
I also took more pictures, which I will add to my posts as well.
I am getting bored.....I really want to be able to feel useful and DO something. Honora does not want me to watch the baby yet....and so it makes NOTHING for me to do all day...except what I am already doing. I KNOW I am suppose to be recovering...but I'm bored... :( I have books to read...but can't. I have video games to play...but don't want to... I am also getting stir crazy.... I want to GO somewhere.......
I found out yesterday that my car is completely dead. The electrical is not working...which hopefully just means the battery. Tomorrow Meghan gets to go out again....I really want to get out of the house...maybe someone will take me somewhere tomorrow.... But I am happy. I am glad I am doing well enough that I have time to be bored! ;) Hopefully my brain will let me read tomorrow and just enough relaxing! :)
Well I am really tired...so I am going to do my exercises and try to go to sleep again..... :)
