Up and Down


Yesterday was my first day of therapy—four full hours. Today’s plan is for an hour of occupational, one with the speech-language pathologist and another with the physical therapist. 

I was disappointed with my performance yesterday but my various teams say I’m doing well. Invariably I respond with ‘you’re just saying that to make me feel better.’ They say no.


I’ve GOT to keep in mind that I haven’t been out of my eleven hour marathon brain slice up for so much as a full week yet. The docs wheeled me out at nine PM just seven days ago.


I’ve had no increase in my left leg’s mobility and nothing more in the foot. Yep, I haz a sad. Slack? Was ist das? It’s what I’ve got to cut myself a big, fat, healthy slab of.


Shit WILL get better. OT’s focus today will be bathroom issues—bathing and such. It’s really weird to be so unable to do for myself. HATE it!


On the food front, everything continues to be YUM City though it’s unclear whether I’ll get a choice, apart from Vegetarian. The food service folk keep bringing me great stuff BUT also puzzling items like soda and coffee at night but NO cake! I’m trying to sort this out, particularly since I’m here for the long haul. I despise waste!
