Today was great!
Last night was the first evening I didn't go to bed at 9pm and pass out right away. I read in bed for a good two hours before feeling sleepy enough to drift off. This is an improvement.
Lindsay came over for lunch today. She brought me Cafe Rio and rented the new Footloose from Red Box. I was going to take a shower, but that got put on the back burner when I woke up on the couch only a half an hour before she was supposed to get here. That was not enough time to shower, but it was enough time to change clothes, including putting on a real bra (another milestone!)
I sat up the whole time, with no dizziness. We talked about work, discussed some "monkey business" that needed to be decided, and gossiped a bit. During the movie, I did my first round of physical therapy exercises. After the movie, I took three laps up and down the hallway on my crutches.
I also got a real shower today. I had taken one at the hospital, using a shower chair. I had also tried to take one on Monday, but had to just use shampoo and get out, due to dizziness. But today, when Paul got home, I took a real, long shower. I stood up the whole time, conditioned my hair, the whole bit. And then I dressed myself!
This, folks, is a banner day. And less than a week out from surgery, too.
