Day 5 a snow day, again

When I booked my surgery I never anticipated two snow storms the first five days. Silver lining: I'm not shoveling. The bad news: I need to ask someone else to. Thank goodness for my awesome neighbor Eddie who will be out there shoveling tonight.

Yesterday was a day with pain. It was probably my worst day, perhaps because I was completely off my pain pills and have been more mobile?

Dad came over and made me lunch. We hung out an watched Jeopardy where he showed off his history knowledge and I didn't. 😳

My Aunt Holly stopped by on her way home from St Kate's (she teaches PT there). She brought sheep skin covers for my crutches. It instantly helped! Yay Aunt Holly!!! She also brought be spinach so I can keep my smoothies going in the mornings.

Matt was suppose to come down last night but the snow once again kept him from making it here. Mostly due to the fact that he had a big meeting at 8am today and couldn't be late. It sucked. I miss him. But it was also a good challenge for Sophie and I to be alone all evening and night. Luckily Sarah, Sophie's awesome dog walker, is tiring her out every day and so Sophie mainly slept. (Side note: we ended up with about 3" Instead of the 6-8" they had predicted - grrr).

Early in the evening, I went to let Sophie outside and set my crutch against the wall. Her crazy tail knocked it down the basement stairs! Ack! I butt scooted down the stairs to get it and then back up. It made me realize I can do what I need to on my own. I'm just exhausted after doing it 😄

Tivo time:
I'm all caught up on The Following. 5 episodes in a row and I didn't have nightmares!

Today is my first day back at work...from home! I am grateful the bullseye is flexible and letting me work from home for most of this recovery, time to start using my brain again.

Lisa Is coming over today and working from my house so she can help me set up my work area in the dining room. She is the best!!
