This week has been a unique learning experience for me. My surgery went rather well, or at least that's what I've been told because I was asleep for the entire thing. It took me a long time to wake up and I think the nurse was getting frustrated with me for not cooperating so she could go home. However, I lay part of the blame on them for jumping the gun on giving me Nausea medicine. As I was being wheeled from the recovery room back to my luxurious half room, I became a bit dizzy and mentioned this to the nurse who wanted me to sit up and start eating. Well they ran for the Phenegren which conveniently for me put me to sleep. I guess they thought it better to knock me back out than to clean up my vomit. Well, that just took me longer to get kicked out the door and had they known about my situational stomach they would have known that I could have probably waned the nausea away. Anyway, we eventually left and got home, not soon enough for Amanda to make it to work that night, but I doubt her students minded.
The rest of this week has just been a case of trying to rest, get comfortable and try to move a bit. Amanda has been great. I have had the bed to myself, not that I could get real comfortable any way. I haven't slept a whole lot except for Thursday night when I was so exhausted I sacked out and missed the circus Friday morning getting kids to school. Anyway, things are going well. I am getting used to doing things left handed (as in typing this out). Things are a little slow this way, but we get it done. Who knows, maybe by the end of this whole recovery process, I may be ambidextrous.
I've always wanted to be ambidextrous. I'm pretty impressed you typed that whole thing out one-handed.
ReplyDeleteYeah I typed it one handed, and it took forever, with a lot of backspacing and error correcting. I am though getting quite a bit better doing things one handed and with my left hand, but even better, I am getting more and more use again out of my right arm and am even typing this reply using two hands again....Yeah Me!!!!
