Pain meds at regular intervals last evening helped me sleep. Though poor SH had to wrangle that for me. I was instructed by my surgeon to be “the baby” in the house for 2 weeks after surgery. If you know me, you know this is a very hard proposition for me.
No BLT (bending, lifting, twisting). Limit on picking something up is 5 lbs or less….which pretty much means everything useful. No bending. Drop something on the floor…nope. Someone has to come get it. Pants…pants are the devil.
Moving on, Home Health and PT came to the house today to get me started on the first weeks of recovery. I am grateful to have a nurse visit each week to check my progress, incision, etc and for any questions or issues that come up.
Brad (The Torturer 😀) will come by twice a week to get me started on PT. It is nice not to have to get into a vehicle and GO to PT at this early stage. This benefit was a surprise that I did not know I’d have (or need). I am thankful.
What's worse than having TP stuck on your shoe? Having it stuck on the wheel of your speed racer and not being able to bend over and pick it off :)
