Day 32
Sleep still is a bugger. I woke up last night as I must have tried to flex my hip more than it should have. I did not take any pain meds yesterday or last night. I want the medications out of me. Part of my nausea may be from this and part may be that I am pushing myself past where I need to sit down and rest. I am recognizing those signs and responding to them now.
I took a shower using a transfer bench by myself today and shaved. I figured if they can't get my blood to therapeutic levels and I am careful, I probably don't have to worry about bleeding out.
I crutched into the library to pick up a book around 3:30 PM and was exhausted and actually had to take a break. I feel like I have been walking up Nevada Falls in Yosemite again. What I have been doing is full weight bearing in stance and probably > 75% WB with crutches . The side of my thigh is letting me know it is there and I am exhausted. The cause is refreshing though. So I have 2 books and a movie, several professional projects in the works, and a class I can do at home once the text arrives.
