Today was a MUCH better day with the pain medication situation ... ya, hoo! We have found the combination and frequency that works and there has been no nausea today. I can also stay awake longer than ten minutes and no more double vision. My dad was concerned about "muscle atrophy," so I slowly ventured from the bedroom to the kitchen table for lunch. The "bed tray scene" doesn't last very long in his book. We had "Gretchen's Gourmet Leftovers" for lunch.
The cast that I had put on yesterday seems to be okay. We thought it might be overly tight in one spot, as it was very painful last night, but this has subsided. I made it through the entire night last night without having to get up myself (or anyone else in the house) for pain medicine. The "four hour pain medicine feeding," wasn't the most fun for anyone.
I took a long nap this afternoon and talked with my former physical therapist on the phone (now a great friend), which was nice. She sent me a fun Thanksgiving card via the computer with turkeys dancing and singing .... delightful! Better scoot for now ... my leopard crutches need to make their way to the table for dinner.

Jenny: Our computer has been out of order for almost a week now, so I've been un-blog-able! Sorry! I've so wanted to write often to encourage you, but haven't been able to! Know that I've been doing it in my head from home! Glad to hear that you're flat-footed so far! And I'm SOOOOO not surprised that your crutches are leopard--like I said: you're one of the most fashion-conscious and well-accessorized women I've met to date! (And I'm getting pretty long in the tooth!) Sending a big hug to you! Laura
