It is so nice to be home from the hospital.
If you have never had a prolonged hospital stay, I can say - with certainty - that although it is nice to have round the clock care at the push of a button, it gets very old very fast.
I would much rather be home with nothing to do than in the hospital. Now don't think that it was a bad experience, it was just the the opposite. The nurses were amazing and my doctors are the best. But when you feel good enough to be home that is exactly where you want to be - home.
I came home last Friday and If you saw me, you would think that I look like a little old lady...hunched over.
I still can't stand up straight...it is a fairly slow recovery. The Doctor described it like a rubber band - I have to stretch a little bit everyday and eventually I will be straight up. It hurts to do it but it also hurts my back to bend at the hip.
but no pain - no gain
being home all day also takes it's toll. especially when you're used to going, going, going all the time. I have caught up on all the daytime tv I will ever want to watch.
Hopefully I will be allowed to drive next week. so I can out of my house!
on a brighter note...
My boys are keeping me entertained at night. the other night, while Jonesy's pillow was in the wash, Andrew climbed into his cage. Michael, being the ever present big brother couldn't let him enjoy it by himself so he climbed in too.
I am off to watch "Eat Pray Love".
hopefully it will keep me from dying of boredom.
So great you are back home!
Oh daytime television....it's the worst!!!!!
Take care and best of luck working on your "rubber band." You are amazing!!!
