DOING NOTHING IS HARD WORK

I know many of you thought I wouldn't follow dr's orders, but I'll have you know I've been a good little patient. Actually I don't have a lot of restrictions. The main one is NO LIFTING for 10 to 14 days. Okay, now that's driving me crazy. So much of Colby's care requires lifting of some sort. But I'm letting others step in and help. I do appreciate all the help, but I'm not going to lie, I just think I do a better job of taking care of Colby than anyone else. He's hanging in there, being the sweet, lovable boy that he always is. He does seem a little confused, though, as to why I'm here all the time but either Cindy, Colleen, Rosa or Grandma is taking care of him. Got some beautiful get well flowers from Dad & Sam and Tony & Anne. Very sweet :-)

This having down time stuff has been really hard on me. You have to understand, just a few days ago I was up at 7:15 to get Colby ready for school. Then as soon as the bus pulled off I was either typing or working at the hospital. Plus I was exercising 3 to 4 days a week, which took up quite a bit of time. At the moment I'm doing NONE of that so that leaves waaaay too much time on my hands. Never thought I'd see the day where I actually wanted to work or exercise haha. Today I started to get back to typing a little. Told my boss since I was feeling okay I could work this weekend if needed. Typed just a few lines today, enough to get back in the groove.

Got Colby's school papers filled out for this coming school year, all 12 pages. Called Apria to check on the status of Colby's backup bi-PAP and surprise, surprise, no one returned my call. A-holes. Yeah, like I won't just turn around and call again on Monday morning. Watched "The King's Speech" last night. Loved it! Might just have to watch it again tonight. They finally opened the pool here at the apartments. Too bad I can't get in it right now! Should be able to after Tuesday when I get my stitches out. Okay kids, that's all for now. Cheerio and toodle-doo until later.
