Just Checking In

Ever since leaving the Rehab Hospital days are pretty much the same, meds, therapy, sleep, TV or DVDs.  It’s really boring.  On the weekends Sandi will get me out for shopping, church or whatever.

Wednesday. my I Phone got fried and Sandi took me to the Apple Store where they replaced it.  When we got home she wanted me to spend the night with her because of the tornado warnings.  I chose to stay in the MH.  Most of the night wasn’t too bad. When checking the weather reports, most of the storms had passed by where I am parked.  Although, later we did have some more storming with large and loud hail.   Where I used to be was where that tornado touched down nearby.

Last Thursday, my MH entry door was finally replaced.  Sandi came out Wednesday after work to get the things done that I couldn’t do to prepare “My Spot” for transit.  Russ was here early Thursday to drive it to McClains RV to do the replacement and the last of the little things to complete the PDI. 

While waiting, I browsed thru CW store and found a small outside rug on sale.  Now I have a small area to sit when I want.  It was recommended by the PT/OT  while at rehab that I have a stable area by the stairs as I go in and out of the MH.

Last weekend Sandi helped me rearrange some things so that I have better access, one of which was the extra freezer.  I swapped the space on the dining bench and put the printers on the floor under the table.

                                            It works a lot better.

That’s about all that’s going on here.  I hope that you all are having a great week.

Thanks for visiting

  1. It sounds like you are doing as well as can be expected after your surgery. I'm happy the tornadoes did not affect you. That would have been terrible.

    Where are you off to next?

    1. Not off to anywhere for a while, not until after therapy. Then I'm thinking about going back to SA for the winter and find a part time job to buy a toad.

  2. Since it is your shoulder, are you allowed or up to taking long walks? That might help with the boredom. The boring weeks before I was able to walk with a cane about drove me crazy.

    1. There isn't anywhere nearby to walk. The park isn't level and I don't feel comfortable walking on the loose gravel. Besides that I tire easily. Even when I go out with my daughter I get wiped out after a couple of hours. Later I can figure that part out.

  3. Glad you are back home. Did they give you exercises to do on your own at home? Keep up with it because you will definitely benefit throughout the coming years.

    1. Yea, I have a bunch of exercises that I can do several time a day and an occupational therapist that comes twice a week and does stretching and massaging of the joint, all non weight bearing. My next dr appt is in a couple of weeks.

  5. sounds like you are adjusting to life in a motor home and being only a "lefty" quite well. Glad the storms missed you, Rudee hates storms and is my own personal weather alert monitor! :-)
