No big mile stone or anything today, just an up day. Things are still progressing in the right direction, although seems very slow from my point of view. The biggest thing is that I have some decent usage of my hands and eyes, enough so that I am able to type this post myself. I added two photo's to try and show what my hands have been looking like (my eye's looked about the same but we don’t have photos).
OK just a rant here. I always knew that there would be a chance I could spend some serious time in the hospital as I went through this process but I just didn’t think how it would happen. I told myself that if I need to stay in then I had tons of things I wanted to do. I would put in a few hours a day of remotely working, read a few books I have been saving up, learn and play a few computer games, research and plan out activities for when I was healthy again. Unfortunately, I don’t think I really could have prepared myself for any of this. Like I said above, things are going in the right direction and I am truly happy for that. Just having some use of my hands and eyes is having a big impact. I know my hospital time of only 35 days total, is nothing in the grand scheme of things but for today, for me, it feels like a lot.
That's enough ranting for now, I am switching back to the positive mode and ready again to capture all the positive vibes (and well wishes) you are all sending, please do keep it up. I know you are all rooting for me and just the knowledge of that helps in ways that words can not describe.
Thanks Everyone!
God bless you my friend! We are praying for you and Karen both. Glad to see you are inching your way back. Just seeing you post is the greatest! That's milestone enough for me!
ReplyDeleteLove to you both! I got a walking boot put on today! I am going back to work on Monday. It's funny you mention wanting to do all of those things while you are in the hospital. I reflect back to my time at home over the last 7 weeks and probably could have started a new business or something! Instead I just laid around and felt bad, watched TV, or slept. Glad things are getting better...like you said...in the grand scheme of things this is just a small portion of a long life.
