Quite possibly TMI

I've been getting better at a lot of things, including using my left hand to hold a spoon.  I only dropped one Cheerio this morning!  But I'm not getting any better at all with some of the left-hand-only tasks.  Like pulling up panties.  I just can't get them all the way up using one hand.  Since my 16-year-old stepson is going to be here for most of the time I'm recovering from surgery, I can't just skip the whole clothing thing altogether for the whole time, which would be my inclination.  Next best thing, I think, will be commando under a sleeveless housedress that buttons up the front.  Thrift store trip, coming right up!

14 days, and counting.  Two weeks from tomorrow morning.  <sigh>

But this surgery is needed, for sure.  Friday was a two-Aleve day for me, and I try to keep those to a minimum.  I took Saturday morning's pill on Friday afternoon, before I even left work.  So I skipped Saturday to try to even it out.  Mistake!  I have been sore all day today, but only took one Aleve.  I really don't want to take any more than I have to in order to keep the soreness to a low buzz.  But I tell you, I am absolutely NOT looking forward to the 5 days I can't have Aleve or Advil at all.  It'll be Tylenol only from the 20th on.
