Good morning Rounders! The last day of March and I hope it goes out like a lamb for all of you. Maxie, I read your last post yesterday and I feel the pain. DH left his at a gas station back years ago when he was a Claims Rep for an insurance company. We had to cancel. I have left mine in my pocket and washed the pants, and so has DH done the same thing. We are only human.
Yesterday was good. DH had a visit from one of his Pickleball friends and 2 more are coming today. He is weaning himself off the pain med and taking one pill instead of 2. The biggest problem is he has not had a BM yet, but I think that will happen today. He had a bowl of Shredded Wheat for bkfst, which is what he usually has and it's loaded with fiber. It's the pain pills that cause constipation or one of the things anyway.
I didn't have any trouble taking off the boot yesterday, but of course DH always hurts after that. He slept more yesterday in the daytime than I ever expected, so he got 2 more hours of sleep than I did. I'm wide awake though and my Sciatic leg has been hurting more than usual where I stubbed my foot and shot forward and caught myself on Friday morning. It stretched out everything in that leg and I've been taking Advil at least 2x daily.
Hope all of you are doing well. Aunt Maye I haven't heard from you, but I understand. Many blessings to you and yours.
I have been giving the blood thinner injections and there is no bruising so far, but DH hates needles. The nurse told me what to do to make it easier for him. Just pinch up the skin when you get ready to inject and he will feel the pinch and not concentrate on the needle going in so much. It works.
Peace & Plenty.
