Hello to everyone. Today is a pretty normal day--if you call it normal, laying around, eating from the feeding tube, and talking as much as you want. :) Spence's sister, Nancy, and I have a lot of fun, hearing about the details of each other's lives. Today I had to put myself in my room, just so I would get a nap! Marti, another of Spence's sisters, came to visit. It is good to have visitors, and they don't even mind that I entertain them in my pajamas!
I have been trying to sleep on a wedge, but it is pretty uncomfortable, so last night I just slept on my recliner...and did much better. My back gets pretty sore on the wedge, and the recliner just makes it a little more flexible to sleep. I LOVE taking showers.
I still have some pain in my chest and in my back--however, I have mostly been able to get relief from Tylenol, which is far better than the harder stuff they were giving me in the hospital. Nancy is good at giving me little meals several times a day--so I am improving on my eating. She's a great cook, so that helps too!
We walked a little in front of my house yesterday--don't do it still as much as I probably should, but we're working on it. Anyway, that's just a little update--I take life pretty slowly, but I think that's ok. Have a good evening. Love you, Louise
Sounds so good to hear you are eating. I can picture you with Marti and Nancy laughing and throwing stories back and forth. You have wonderful family, on both sides! And...be grateful you live in sunny Arizona...the sidewalks and driveways are all icy here in Utah. Your stroll is safer on dry ground. Keep on plugging away...we can tell you're getting stronger..hurray! Love you.
ReplyDeleteAll this sounds so great and I agree with Sharie--happy to hear you are eating!! Every day is a tiny step towards full recovery... It will 'sneak up' on you in no time. Love, Sue
ReplyDeleteTaking life slowly sounds perfect......I love what Susan said "recovery will "sneak up" on you in no time!" Have a great day!!
