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.
