My Second Week of Recovery

The second week was much as the same as the first.  Still sleeping on the couch, napping a couple of times a day.  I had to go see my family doctor to have my staples removed - 25 in all.  A couple of those staples made my toes curl back when they were being removed.  I also had my blood pressure taken during this visit and discovered for the first time in a very long time my it was on the low side.  Now I know why I was feeling cold all the time and light headed if I got up quickly.

I still was unable to drive this week because one I did not have the energy to drive and secondly I could not make an emergency stop without it hurting.  I am so thankful I had Melanie drive me to my doctor appointment and on Wednesday to get my haircut.

On Saturday Melanie and I went grocery shopping what a long two hours, yes I said two hours who would have know it would takes us so long.  I felt like I was going in slow motion for the better part of this outing and had to have a nap when I got home.


I was able to walk to the corner and back, I am so thankful the weather has been nice for me to get out walking.

I also found myself weepy again this week but got through it with lots of hugs and support from my family and friends.
