TMI or “411” for WFMW

Depending on whose reading this post that is..

Hi there it’s official I’ve reached the third week of recovery and if your new (welcome!) U can read here to catch up.

Anyways according to the Dr. and other sources, I have approximately six more weeks till I’ll be able to reach up above my head or (achem..)wipe normally again.

I’ll be brief ..

• I can only sleep on my back and this stinks as I tend to be a pillow ~hugging~ spoon~ fitting~ snuggler.
• I’m walking like a *geriatric* ~stiff, slow and braced for an emergency. Never understood them till now..poor guys!
• If I do too much I get sore and swollen..if I do too little it’s the same result only on my bottom side.
• I’m gonna stop here cause I’m starting to sound like *one* too..

that was the bad.

 

the good:

• I can where button down tops!!!
• I feel sure my family has much more respect now when it comes to a clean and organized home. Now that they have to do it.
• the responses (compliments) from friends and family alike are confirmations and make me feel like all the above is worth it.
• no need for pain relievers..at all.

not so fun:

• while I really don’t want to put on more weight..sitting here is not helping me either.
• I’m becoming prickly as some of the stitches sewn inside are starting to poke through the skin resembling that of a cactus plant. The Dr warned me it would feel like splinters,an understatement.
• I still have to “redress” twice a day and at $7 a tube of triple Antibiotic..it’s costly! On 5th tube already!

So here’s the deal..if you have suggestions to help me get through the next six weeks of this stuff..I’d love to hear!
