I slept on my side

For most of you that's no big deal.. but for me it IS .. I'm a slide sleeper but since the surgery I've been sleeping on my back. I slept but not sound. Last night I tried my side. With the help of a pillow I was able to sleep the entire night. Didn't even hear my husband get up this morning and leave.

Well on the road to mending, UNTIL I got up and went potty .. I think I either have the start of a bladder infection or a UTI .. thankfully I had 100 % cranberry juice so all day long I've been sipping on a glass and I do feel better. BUT what that does is couse my sugar to go up, and that causes other problems. Boy will I be glad when I can say I'm healed.

I can't complain as it's been less than a month and I'm moving around so well with less pain.

Walking Better

Went to the bank today and was quite surprised that I was walking a bit faster with a little less pain. I'm so surprised at what I feel is the speed of my progress.

I still have some kind of tape covering the incision which is slowly dissolving. I believe once it's all gone I'll be doing much better.

I know it' s only been 3 weeks so I'm still taking it slow and easy. I have not yet been cleared to drive, which is just fine with me.

Tropical Storm Fay

All day today we have been dealing with rain and a little wind from Tropical Storm Fay .. as the evening goes on the winds are stronger as is the rain. A tornado touched down in our city of Hallandale Beach. My daughter had minor damage .. a tree limb (family members feel it weighed about 800 pounds) was removed, it hit the house then landed on and broke the seat of a cement bench. She said the house shook and they heard the sound of a train just prior to the house shaking.
