I am going off of my mind! I am so bloody bored I could scream. The problem is anytime I try to move around more, my hands and hips and shoulders get very upset with me and start to complain in intense anger. There is no winning in this situation. I did cave and take another pain pill today, though it was the first time since Friday.
I had to go back to the dentist today for some work and he shot me up with three injections in my mouth! I am the queen of torture at this point. After we went to get my new specs and then I was dreading coming home so much I rang one of my close friends who happily had just gotten home, so we popped over there for a nice visit.
I took another magic pill last night and slept fairly decently. I have been having the most bizarre nightmares for the last few weeks, it must be all the stress and drugs. But at least I got some sleep so I won't complain.
My mother and I have been trying to suss out how I can do all sorts of 'little' things that you take for granted by myself, as next week I have to return to work and will not have her around to help. You don't realise how much it truly is the small basic things. For example, getting a sock on my right foot is a nightmare. Thankfully my mother found this sock aid pull on she had bought for my dad when he had hip replacement surgery and it seems to work. Washing and drying my lower legs is another difficult task. I finally sussed out how to get lotion on my lower right leg - with my left foot! I'm getting quite creative. Quite a learning experience for sure! I keep trying to do more and more myself without overdoing it at the same time. Opening doors though is one thing that is very difficult, so not sure how that is going to work. Oh well, onward and upward as they say.
