I got to remember to do my blog. I hate trying to play catch up. I might do this four day thing again if I fall behind again. So, I'll try to break it down to short highlights for the days I skipped. Most of my blog will seem boring at times because I'm doing the same thing over and over again. I also sometimes forget to grab my camera and so I don't do many photos either. I think if anyone who had to stay in a hospital setting as long as Ailbe and I are doing you'll scramble your brain to find some interesting things to write about.
TUESDAY (Nov 4, 2014): My day was spent doing the same as the rest of my journal writings. YES its getting boring in here and thank heavens for Ailbe helping me. Ailbe has become a more serious worker then I could ever imagine. A year ago I would have never thought he would be my service dog due to his crazy manners. Nothing major to report on today's activities.
WEDNESDAY (Nov 5, 2014): Another LONG day in Rehab. Spent a lot of time in bed trying to keep the swelling down in both legs. I did the same thing as usual... sleep, watch my shows and take Ailbe out for walks/runs. Ailbe loves being here .... I won $8 playing BINGO tonight and I'm getting closer and closer to getting my Dutch Oven for outdoor cooking.
THURSDAY (Nov 6, 2014): It was awesome to see Kate today. She did my shopping and brought in my snack food for night. I'm still waking up with low glucose levels. She also picked up a new stuffed animal for Ailbe to play with. Ailbe thought it was super cool. I also got my new Girl Scout Hoodie for the "Green Hat Society". It's a lovely shade of hunter green. I'm hoping that I can find a hat in that color too. I also had her pick up the movie, "Maleficent" which I only watched half of it before drifting off to sleep.
FRIDAY (Nov 7, 2014): After breakfast I finished watching "Maleficent". I loved the movie when I saw it in the theaters. I love the way Disney Studios did a different spin on the character. After my movie I took Ailbe into my bathroom and gave him a sponge bath. It took me awhile from a wheelchair to get him clean, but I did it. Kate will be coming in the next two weeks to where I'll be able to take Ailbe to a doggie wash place near the hospital. She'll be able to wash him while I can help blow dry and groom him. Hopefully it won't take long to do it. I plan on the first week of Dec for him to get a full groom. December will be a bad month for Kate to help out with taking him to the dog wash. I will have to do sponge baths and room grooms till January. I hope to be home by the 1st of the year. I hope I can drive with a cam boot. When I had my ankle brace a few years back I did learn how to drive with that clumsy thing on. I just have to remember that this ankle surgery and recovery is a year long process. The doc is going to look over x-rays of my left and determine if that needs to be fused. An ankle fusion is common following a severe ankle fracture. I know my ankle is off balanced more then ever since I'm using it more. We had BINGO tonight and I only won $1.
