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.
