Get Well StarryNightin64

Stitches out!!!
5 more weeks in the sling. New doctors in training rotated in.
The new guys was pretty uptight but I got him to finally smile and give me a hug.
Told him to let Doc know the crazy lady with blue ears hugged the stuffing outta him. :D

Hahaa - you go Starry!
 
I managed to drive yesterday. only the 2nd time since surgery but we had funeral duty and the extra flags are in my truck. We're getting so many new people I need to get some more flags since I'm short about 3 each time.

Miss J was shot gun with me and I did pretty good. After service one of my best friends pulled me into her office and put my hair up in a tight ponytail. it's been the first time since those xray people tore my shoulder that my hair has been normal. even as simple as that it, everyone has been afraid it will hurt me. I woke up almost feeling normal this morning... minus the whole shoulder thing :rolleyes: but I managed a shower alone and even made it to 7 hours between pain med sets!!!! Crazy how it's the simple little things that make a huge difference.

simple goals today. naps then a big load of laundry once the jerk up front leaves for work. AND I'm gonna try baking a Marie Calander's casserole with scalloped potatoes and ham in it.
 
so glad to hear you are doing better starry *gentle hugs*

and what time is dinner? I love casserole :)
 
Morning sweet sexy wonderful one.
So glad your doing great. Happy dance :nana::nana:
And yep its the small things you can do that feel so wonderful.
Just like you, when I finally could make my ponytail, I cried.....:eek:
:kiss::kiss::kiss::rose::rose::rose::heart:

not sure since it's in the freezer. :) I'm more worried about getting laundry done first.
food is food and I'm not picky. a protein shake or dinner out, either pretty much works for me.

let me do the laundry; I actually like doing it.....then let me get the casserole out of the freezer, so it can thaw.....those things take forever to bake if frozen....your manservant is on the job!

LADY YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

I'm still needing people for that but if I get too bad again then I can
stop at the cemetery and have her fix it for me again.
lol, not in their normal services there :eek:

I did end up ordering a couple Papa John large pizzas Sunday on the March madness special. but I got thin crust cut into squares. I bagged them in the fridge and freezer so I have grabbed a square for med time. much nicer then the peanut butter crackers too. plus I got Hawaiian since the pineapple helps fight the inflammation post surgery.

how are you doing???

lol... I checked and it never works that way in real life:eek:

but the thought is very appreciated:rose:
 
you know, starry, you post with such life and love that I often forget how much you're dealing with. You're such a remarkable woman to keep your grace about you in the face of a struggle. I hope your recovery continues to be uplifting and positive for you and for everyone who loves you. :rose:

Thank you for your kind words:rose:
some days are hard to stay positive and today left a huge question mark. My team got hit this morning with some news. Change happens and the restaurant we've done our Friday Flag Wave in front of for over 10 years was sold on Tuesday. no notice to anyone including staff. I'm not sure if we will be allowed to continue with our little 2 hour Thank Yous to our First Responders or not.
 
Hope your recovery continues smoothly. Sounds like all is progressing well.:rose:
 
With all the thought and planning I put into this surgery,
it was pointed out that I should have gotten a cabana boy. :D
 
Hope you get felling better soon. Those hard days can be challenging. :rose:

leigh the worst part has been the real life people who are friends and the extended support team. I've had to be a real bitch to just be able to shut off the cell to even sleep. I even had to tell my mom several times.... I'll call you when I'm up and in a good place. She was calling surgery day every 2 hours after I got home. Add in one of my local friends doing that too; I was ready to shoot someone since the pain meds were not working. When I shut off my cell, then the friend showed up her with one of her kids. Seriously I still stink like the hospital and she expected social hour.... I kicked them out. :cool: the concept that I need the party train thru here also has been an issue. that will be blown out of the water this weekend while the Spring Fest is happening at the park next to the house. I've got prime parking here in my yard.

I've not turned on the TV since before surgery. The radio maybe 2 times and after 5 minutes shut it back off. this is around the 4th time sitting up with the laptop top post, play, do emails, etc... I've tried to just keep things calm, quiet and rest.

But I managed a shower & washing my hair this morning by myself. I'm able to get dressed too. I've driven a couple times. the smartest thing I did was order a couple pizzas square cut so when I need to take meds I can grab a square to eat with it. that's better then peanut butter crackers and a protein shake.

The friends on Lit have been the biggest help. They've touched base each day making sure someone has talked to me someway. this thread has been a real blessing so people I didn't even realize knew I existed to say Hi, send me a hug and keep track of me. Skype has been great. A couple of my lit military friends have called once a week to make me laugh & make sure my head is still screwed on in the right way. laughing and oxytocin has been on the meds list as much as no more oxies and using cannabis oil to stop the shoulder spasms.

Seriously I'm sure most of you here in the Play Ground will never understand how awesome, kind and caring you all are and that it makes a HUGE DIFFERANCE not just to me but others on here as well.

:kiss: love you people SO MUCH!!!!

OK you were ALL right.
This week was too much too soon after surgery.
I'm grounded in bed again for the weekend.
<sigh>
Maybe the cabana boy idea has merit.

Taz you may be right at least for another week.
I see my needle Doc Monday. He's a Marine so he won't let it last long.
BUT I'll get chewed out if I do anything too wrong.
So far I'm on track from last shoulder. I'm just really tired this time round:eek:

I'm not gonna ask him about the cabana boy help.
With my luck he'd send a TSA agent and that's just not gonna be the same :rolleyes:
