Shattered Elbow Caregivers Group 130804

PostOp Update 130804: Another complete night of sleep, this time without rising for any painkillers.


Neighbor Dean brought over a hungry man's breakfast, and we watched a couple movies on Netflix. He also did a load of laundry for me. Felt I had enough umph to take a shower later in the afternoon, and it drained me. Spent the evening napping and watching movies. The pain is pretty much a mellow dull ache now, so that is good. Going to try weaning off the narcotics this week. One more week off work, then I will try four-hour days next week. Hopefully the doc will agree at our appointment in the morning!

Inspiration and Blessing 130804: God's way is perfect. All the LORD's promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock? — Psalm 18:30-31

Request List 130804:
Garbage out;
Tomorrow morning I have a doc appt at 10:30 with PT following and then a pharmacy run -- I need someone to deliver, drop and return or someone to deliver and sit with during the time;
I have a stocked fridge that could use some organizing and/or help consuming leftovers;
My tub might could use a scrub, but could I just live with that;
My right arm and shoulder is growing weary of carrying the burden -- sometimes I wonder if I could ask for help in the shower, especially when it comes to shaving my head (yes, my ego/pride is slipping);
A daily walk to the parking lot, or something to help me keep active...

    Any one out there not celebrating Saturday night have an interest in bringing over some popcorn and we can watch Netflix?
