Shower and Mall ....

Today was a great day! I was able to get a shower this morning, which was the first time since entering the hospital. The sponge baths were getting old. The shower process was a two hour ordeal but worth every minute of it. I can now get the arm incision wet, so that felt really good. The leg cast stays covered with a shower protector and then I have to sit, while in the shower. The arm continues to progress slowly and each day I can do a little more with it. I'm close to being able to put a shirt on by myself.

Various friends from E-Free provided dinner all this week and it has been the biggest blessing ever! As we have transitioned back to home, it has been a huge help. Many thanks for all the yummy meals .... we loved it all.

This afternoon the "stir craziness" of being in the house began to set in. We rented a wheelchair with a leg deal that keeps the leg elevated, so we rode around the mall for a few hours this afternoon. It was a much needed break and change of scenery. Hospital on Monday and mall on Friday in the same week - don't you love it.
We weren't there super long .... don't panic. I have no idea how I'm going to last two more weeks during the weekdays, but I'll manage somehow. I am counting the days until we change casts on June 2nd and we get to see the foot again. Knock on wood, no cast itchiness yet. Thankfully, I am not in any pain and am only using regular Tylenol occasionally.

Looking forward to sitting outside this weekend and reading - sounds like nice weather.

Thankful for a fun day ...
