Had my first day back at work, albeit at home, yesterday. What a great thing…I love my job as it is, but it was really good to connect with people…made me feel alive again for the first time since my injury. Here’s how that looks:
I also took a car ride to pick up our daughter from school…and although it was a bit uncomfortable, it was refreshing to see something outside the walls of my house.
Peeing is more of a challenge than one would expect. Standing on one leg, arm on the wall, one crutch…I feel like I did when I was three…and just couldn’t quite seem to hit the mark! My surgery sock has been nailed a few times and it’s a good thing our cleaning person is coming tomorrow!
In my limited hours of sleep (any suggestions helpful) last night, I had a dream that my bandaged splint came loose and in the readjusting it sort of fell off. The wound was oozy and nasty. I woke up to find my leg had fallen off the pillow and was dangling off the side of the bed. That’s still quite painful for me, as I’m still getting the blood rush throbs when it’s not elevated. I’m thinking that a Gin Martini may be the secret to a successful night’s sleep……
