Pixelated.

I finally replaced my old HTC One a couple of weeks ago. I have been meaning to replace that phone for a couple of years now, ever since the battery started to die during the day. I got by in the interim by keeping the phone plugged in during the day. Earlier this year I started to keep the phone in energy saving mode all the time as it wouldn't last more than an hour on regular battery usage. At that point I knew I needed to get a new phone. My phone was dying and I was losing calls.

So I started looking at getting a replacement last month and was told I could get a Pixel 3 for a reasonable amount (on contract). To make a long story short (it was quite an arduous process), I ended up getting a Pixel 2 XL and I have been happy with my selection so far. I originally thought that the XL would have been too large, but.. you get used to it pretty quickly.

Now I was going to turn the HTC One into a phone that Elsy could play with, but it is not running a late enough version of Android OS to install Family Link. At least not my version of the phone..

Time to unlock!

Staples out! (Again!)

-
I got my staples removed today. No more appointments until the followup next month. As such, once these bandages come off, I'm pretty much done, but will need to take it easy for the next month and a half so as not to damage myself. It should not be too hard, as long as I do not get wet, run, jump, lift, dance, get buried, stomped, etc. Other than that, I do feel better than I did last time. I need to stay active to continue improving. Mobility leads to mobility! Or was that motility? Either is good actually. I also started working today. Well, technically I started doing some work yesterday to catch up, but it does feel good to be productive..

Running out of drugs.

I am looking forward to having a full night's sleep. The pain medication regimen requires me to stagger my two medications such that they don't end up wearing off at the same time. As such, the most time I have in between notifications is four hours and possibly down to one. Even so, it takes a while to fall back asleep after being woken up by the alarm so I have been basically taking 2-3 hour naps throughout the day since Monday. It is allowing me to get some rest, but I am started to get pretty exhausted. One of my pills is running out so I will be getting 6 hour naps tomorrow, and hopefully I can wean myself off of everything this weekend and get back to a regular sleep (and eating) schedule. Then I can really start recovering my strength..

There was this outbreak..

-
So I have a low grade fever. I have been taking acetaminophen since I got home to deal with the pain so there was a good chance that I have had an actual fever for a few days now. I have noticed huge temperature swings with me feeling cold for an hour, then hot for an hour, etc. This while I was still popping pills. I did have a normal temperature when I got my dressings replaced a couple of days ago so maybe this is a relatively new phenomenon, but I was pretty sure I started feeling temperature swings before then. The chance that I picked something up from the hospital is actually kind of high. When I was coming to and the nurses were wheeling me into my recovery room, I overheard one of them saying that I could not go to that particular bed because the unit was on outbreak. I ended up getting my own room to recover which was nice, and helped with my rest. However, due to my nausea issues, I could not keep my mask on for long periods of time and I did spend a good chunk of time un...
