So.. that happened.

After the whirlwind events of the weekend, we've finally settled down to a semi-stable schedule here at the hospital. We will be here for at least another night if not two. This has put a crimp on our plans for receiving a shipment of a large piece of furniture today. The stipulation was that the movers would only leave the box on the threshold and we would need to move it in ourselves. Alas, we were all sequestered away and I told my dad to ask if they would move the box inside if we gave them a little bit of cash. Unfortunately the response was always no, and we were left with the conundrum of what to do.

MJNL told me to contact AL and HKL to see if they could help. HKL was not working so it was easy for him to accept, and I posted on the family chat to see if anyone else would help but there were no quick takers.

Well, it was quite serendipitous that I had just announced Serena's arrival over e-mail and got a response from GF that he was more than willing to help with any errands. Any errands? *raises eyebrow* So I contacted him to see if he would help, and he would drive all the way to my house to help and even bring a dolly down as well.

So along with my dad, the three of them went and moved the box down to the basement and set up the massage chair. They needed to take out a couple of doors while they were at it but it all worked out in the end!

We just will not be able to enjoy it for a few days..

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...
