Day 5

Many of my thoughts in my earlier post are still true this evening.  I'm discouraged because I was walking better yesterday than I was today.  We don't have a handrail on the stairs going into our house so I've been avoiding going outside.  Perhaps I can get Michael to pretend he's a handrail :-) and get me down the stairs for a small walk.  I did spend some time out on our deck this afternoon with Michael while my mom took the kids to the Mississippi River Museum. It was a beautiful afternoon and a beautiful breeze.

A run down of my agenda includes: napping, walking around my house in circles, hanging out in my living room chair, and going to the bathroom.  Seems to be the same schedule I had when I was 18 months old...

Hopefully tomorrow is shower day--woo hoo!  As long as my wound is not leaking anything gross than I can take a shower.  I'm sure that will make me feel like a real person.

Well, I've taken 2 naps in the construction of this blog so I guess I'll sign off.

I'll leave you with a little bit of back humor, dedicated to my mom and Michael who have been putting up with my grossness and grumpiness since Tuesday:
