Good morning!

My bladder woke me. Meds in an hour.
Mike and I slept in the living room - me on the couch, him in the La-Z Boy.

It was supposed to be the opposite, but I can’t operate the chair. Problem with the couch is that I need him to swing my legs both on and off. He’s supposed to go to work today. His boss said that there is no one to fill in for him, so if worse comes to worst, they’ll just close his office today.

Either way, I’ll muddle through. I’d prefer him to be here, as the first few days are when I will need the most help while I get stronger every day.

I had some Lipton’s chicken noodle soup and a popsicle yesterday. Will try to eat a bit more today.

Regarding moving your legs to the side off the chair, just wondering if you might have a cane or even a side table, to help you lean (and pull) on. What I'm trying to say is that maybe your upper body could somewhat help you move sideways, and therefore, the distance your legs would have to swing, might be less.

I’ve got a walker. In a pinch, I can swing my legs off the couch and pull myself up that way. It’s getting them both back on the couch TOGETHER that eludes me. I have a rope that I wrap around my foot to compensate for all the muscles they cut and separated, but as the kids today say ... it’s complicated.

Few more days. Few more days.

So my alarm was set for 4:45. I woke up on my own at 4:30. Okie dokie so I got up. When I went to check on my son's waffle, I discovered I had a hash brown in the toaster. Then my low fuel light came on while I was driving to work. OK Monday - I see you - and I accept the challenge. Game on.

Thank you. I’ve been drinking a lot, which unfortunately means I have to use the potty a lot.
Unlike most people on the ortho floor, I can toilet myself, I just can’t get back into bed.

I did use the walker to use the big girl potty twice yesterday - and wash my face and brush my teeth. That always helps you feel more human.

I don’t think you’re supposed to be drinking and taking pain pills. :hilarious:

I got up at the same time, but had no need to at all. I couldn't get back to sleep so I got up. Now I'm tired and sleepy. In about three hours I am headed out to N. Raleigh for my oldest grandkids, 20th birthday. Man am I ever old.
