Leave It To Me

Sneezes have their purpose.  Let’s keep things tidy in the nose.  Sneezes can be quite the challenge when your chest is wired and glued together.  I have my hospital-given heart pillow close at hand and then hang on to it for all it’s worth.  The pillow was clutched as hard as I could and the chest was fine.  But, I puled a muscle in my left side.  Good grief!  Leave it to me.

My first visit to a doctor since surgery.  Blood pressure and temp were good.  The incision looked AOK.  My hemoglobin was 8.3 when I was discharged.  In the six days I have been home, we have been working on getting more red meat into me.  A Kid’s Happy meal is not going to cut it.  Dennis was off to the store.  One of his purchases will be on the menus this evening . . . liver and onions.  We’ll get this done.  

This morning it was brisk for the walk outside at 6:30.  No matter.  Me, my long pink nightie, slippers and the walker stepped it off.  Mission completion.

I now have graduated to having a second chair for hanging out in that I can easily get in and up and out of.  Success in healing.
