On Friday’s appt, the surgeon gave me the green light to drive, and I waited one day, and here I am on my way to my acupuncture appointment. Ah! Sweet independence!
Despite Maharajah’s insistence I return straight home, I did manage to go to the local greenhouse for veggies, and I stopped at Dunkin for iced tea & a breakfast sammy, and I sat in the car like old times, having some private time eating breakfast & listening to podcasts before returning home.
Today I decided THIS IS IT!! I wasn’t going to wait one more day for this pesky incision to heal up before attempting to shower. I spent half of July doing sink shampoos and bird baths and no matter how thorough I have cleaned, it is nothing like a shower.
So today, we wrapped my buttock in some Glad cling wrap, and hoped for the best. Given the grab bar debacle, I was anxious but managed to get a good enough showering and shampoo done, then had a nap of several hours.
We picked up laundry as it was ready at the cleaners, and we picked up our dinner order then headed to our favorite park to sit in the car and eat dinner, and get a little walk in before heading home.
So far today it is a paltry 1,078 footsteps, and I managed one trip down and one trip back up the stairs. I even managed to get in and out of the car without relying on my yoga strap.
Tomorrow morning the occupational therapist will be here, and I am not sure what he has planned for me, but I guess I will suggest taking the trash out and show him how I get in and out of the car, so hopefully he will finally dis harge ne tomorrow. I think I have one more appointment with the visiting PT, too, I just don’t know when they will arrive. I hope it is the male PT, I get more out of those appts.
