    Gotta go feed the kitties. I've learned how to open cans with pop tops using one hand. It involves setting the can on the floor, bracing it on two sides with my feet and peeling the lid back. Night all.DH wants to make a movie.....I don't think so,

    I tested out high on my ACTs. Definitely could have done the same but didn't apply myself either. In college I found that I could study subjects focal to my major. When I tried to take easy courses they wouldn't let me. My ACTs said I'd be bored. Suddenly I realized that the problem in HS was...

    Yep. sleeping better. and as long as I don't get too rambunctious and don't forget my pain medicine the discomfort is manageable. Only 4 more weeks in the pillow sling...:celebrate:wee

    Kiddo will do fine,@BigBlueHen53. I was far more focused in college. Made the deans list every semester while a C student in High School. Just hated high school to pieces. DH had to get his drivers license today. Here the give you a printed copy of your proof of license then they mail your new...

    Wound care is a nursing skill that I really learned to enjoy. There is a real challenge and a real thrill when you mark a ghastly wound healed. @BigBlueHen53 congratulations to your graduate. My college graduation meant much more to me than high school. Taking the Florence Nightingale oath...

    Happy Sunday everyone! Spent most of yesterday napping...or contemplating napping. Considered doing the same thing today but couldn't validate doing that 2 days in a row. It takes me so long to get anything done that even with DHs help. 40 minutes to make sandwiches for lunch yesterday...

    Thanks, Cynthia. I sure hope so. Had some pain today so took it easy. I did get to talk to our mail lady and found out that she had the same surgery-same surgeon horrible injury from work where she simply tore her whole shoulder apart. Tore all the tendons that hold everything together and...

    I had 4 days where the last thing I wanted to do was move. Today it felt good to move. Only had some pain once around noon which was a big step in the right direction. Hope they get to the bottom of what's going on with that leg of your's :hugs Good job @Granny Hatchet! Now have a good meal...

    Man don't I know it. Thanks for the hug. So how are you feeling? Any more test results in? Woke up this morning feeling better. The PA suggested I try adding Flexeril to my pain meds and surprise! It did help. I even went for a walk in the woods with DH and was astounded by how green and...

    Danged straight we will! Thanks Blue. :hugs I feel pretty beat up at the moment, He took another pic of me pre op in the hospital lobby and the surgeon gave me pics of my shoulder as he repaired it. 2 sets of holes at the top are for scrub nurses to use probes in order to hold tissue out of...

    Love your sense of humor @BigBlueHen53. You'll probably see the PA first if they do it for you like they did for me. Let's think positively though. The foot shall stay firmly attached to your leg. Find something else to bling out. DH uploaded one of my 'shoulder' pics. I took one look at it and...

    I didn't have to drink my prep in 2 hrs. 8oz about every 30 min if memory serves me right. That last 8oz went down hard. Just keep a book or favorite magazine close so you have something to help pass the time while you're in the 'reading room'.

    Thanks Blue. I can't believe how long I lived with it thinking that if I just gave it a bit more time it would heal up on its own. I'm just glad it's over surgery wise.

    Saw the surgeons PA today. Got the dressing removed and the sutures out. 6 punctures all together. His surgical nurse congratulated me for getting through the first week and that the worse was behind me. When I told them that the pain med didn't work they just chuckled and said that they never...
