Progress Report

I am very impatient. I felt so much better yesterday, that I expected to feel even better today. And I do, but not as much better as I would have liked.

I overcame my fear of water, and took a shower which means I feel fresh and clean. A wonderful sensation. I have now determined that I have lost some sensation in my upper arm, but all my fingers seem to have their full touch. I continue to reduce the vicodan and have substituted tylenol. I will save the stronger stuff for night time sleep.

To be honest, I am just a tad bored. I can't lift anything, so cleaning out bookcases or closets is out of the question. Reading while still medicated feels hard if the book actually has plot lines that need to be followed. I am not supposed to sweat on the incision, so moving out of the air conditioning seems imprudent. I have had several long and wonderful phone calls with friends and a short nap. Now what?

Not doing anything is the hardest thing in the world for me to do!

But, I just got a call... visitors are coming! I must go fluff my new pixie-doo.
