I slept okay for a little bit. But I was awake too early. Flat on my back is not comfortable for long periods at a time. I am just not able to curl the pillow arorund and mold it for comfort. I am a side sleeper. I have a comfortable position that just relaxes me, but I can't get into it. Enough poor me! You try to go to sleep flat on your back and see how disrupting it is.
Ken got home yesterday and took the TED hose off (white tight hose) (very unstylish). The next project was to wrap my hip in saran wrap. The next part I could do shower. I am using the downstairs shower that has plenty of surface to touch so I am not fearful of falling. It took a bit long because I washed y hair! Then after helping me dry off (not suppose to bend more than 90 degrees) Ken unwraped me and helped me put the TED hose back on, which is an event, and clean jammies on. I brushed my teeth and got in bed, I was tired. Ken helped me lay on my good side, yes a couple of pillows arranged between my legs, and took the bandage off. Still painful unfortunately. Good news no seeping or drainage. Next came a new dressing and lots of tape. I was put on my back and given time to relax before his dad came over for dinner. Mom cooked a chicken dinner that smelled and tasted great! That is an evening at our house.
When we got up this morning I asked hime to dress me before he left. He asked why and I told him that the pt was coming today and he is cute! He got a good chuckle out of that. Well, he seems to be close to my age and married. It is almost noon and he said he would call to let mk know when he would arrive and I would be his first patient. Hmm, I guess his day is starting late today.
I guess the powers that be noticed I was having some troubles posting and there are a few changes. There was another paragraph and then it was all gone. Ahh!
Mom and Bob are out running errands, which include the casino if I was guessing! The big red dog, Rusty and I are in bed. I have the air wraps on with one leg blowing up and then the other, the water circulaion pack is on my hip and I am set. I will enjoy the quiet and try to snooze until I hear from the pt. It is Wednesday, I think.
