A couple of days ago I was reaching under the sink for the Dawn dish washing soap. From my right eye I thought I saw a fly - but flies don't hover. I reached up and it was small spider on a thread of a web either hanging from the ceiling or my hair. I grabbed it and and disposed of it in the sink. I felt like there might be a nest of spiders in my hair but could find no more guests - thank goodness.
Maybe we need pest control to make a visit.
I would love to say that things are back to normal but it's only two and half months when the people who know says it will be six months. Among putting on pressure "socks," doing exercises, taking pills and fixing something to eat the blog gets left out. All normal stuff for human beans (as I used to think the word was.) But when everything takes longer, I'm trying to catch up. I know how lucky I am so have a good result - just learning patience.
Last night was a new experience. I had just gone to bed at 10:00. The dang smoke alarm started beeping that the battery was low. This freaks out the dog - just the little spaced out beeps. The plump one headed under the bed - a first as far as I know and the thinner one took off outside.
Two ladders, a bulb extractor (which was no help at all) lots of grunting and groaning, we got it unscrewed and stopped the noise. Lee had to go outside to find Jack and Jill exited the bed site.
It's now midnight.
Finally I woke up at 8:00 a.m.
The ladders are in the dining room. I put the light bulb remover away and still haven't showered or gotten dressed.
It's things like this that mess up your day.
I have graduated to walking around the house without a walker or cane. Not the case outside. Some days a nap is necessary - some days not. Everything takes several two to three times longer (could we say ten times?) than it did. We have had home care nurses here since the first of September. What a wonderful system. My friend in Omaha says they are called VNA; Volunteer Nurses? These are not volunteers but they sure knw all the hints to help someone getting back to where they were.
So that's enough about that. However, since the days are filled with exercises, RX, meals, putting on pressure hose and trying to not step on O2 tubing, it is challenging. Lee has his four wheeled walker so we try to stay out of each other's way!
Thanks for all the comments and good wishes. Not much else to report.
Long time - no post! A little trip through the operating room, a couple of stents and not as good as new!
Six months recovery time? Well, one month is almost gone. Procedure done on August 31. Two angels were here to help.
Old age ain't for sissies and I'm afraid I am a sissy and a wimp.
We have Home Health Care coming to our house. Helping with vital signs, any changes etc. And then there is PT. And no, not like someone very dear to me, I do not find exercising "fun!"
Saw the doctor today. He gave me a choice of another visit in six months or a year. What???? I'm so old I remember what the physician said was LAW!
