9:35 a.m. - It's Sunday, 11 days after surgery. People are getting tired of me being laid up...Amber's tired, the staff at ICE are tired, I'm having to lean on family and friends for help. I need to recover faster. Yesterday I tried to go without the narcotics for pain, and that wasn't easy. I think tonight I may take one just before bed to try to help me sleep a bit better, and then stick to the Extra Strength Tylenol the rest of the day.
I've gotten my morning pills taken (iron, baby aspirin, and stool softener) with a little breakfast Amber made for me. I've also completed my a.m. exercises, so now as I'm typing this up, I'm applying and ice bag treatment. I think I'm going to experiment with some driving starting with the HHR to get it out of the garage. It needs to get out of the garage in order to put the mower in there, as Shawn said he could come over and help me get the deck off to see what kind of parts I need to get it fixed. I'm still hoping it's just a belt.
I'm also going to try the truck out and see how driving that goes. Nobody will be in the school parking lot today, so that's going to be my experiment area. I'm also going to see if I can drive the tractor up in the garage, but that might be the hardest of the three experiments. I just have to figure out how to get my walker with me.
And if all works well, I might drive out to ICE to get my cane and see how I can use the bathroom. I'm a little worried about the bathroom thing, since I still have to pee every 2-3 hours.
