Hi Honey,
Glad to report I had a better night sleep last night after taking that last oxy, then took three ibuprofen this morning to get ahead of the pain curve. As a result, I felt a lot better, and a lot more mobile today. Guess I just have to keep up the painkiller routine and wait another week before trying to wean my way off them again. Did some reading, then some running around, getting fuel and dropping off an Amazon return before PT. There was a package at the end of the driveway with the parts for the RV repair, but they only sent three of the four items I ordered, so I had to get on the phone with them to find out what happened, and the woman there, Janet, who had helped me earlier with the order, said she’d ship the missing parts overnight so I’d have them tomorrow, at her expense since it was their fault they didn’t get here on time. Did my PT while Jeff ran down and got his first Covid shot, timed it pretty well, he got back about ten minutes before I came back down. On the way there I was talking to Jeff about getting in touch with some folks I met here last year about helping me get the trailer up to the Stuart mechanic, and would you believe, I got a call while I was in PT from the very woman I was going to call as soon as I got home! Her ears must have been burning! There’s a local trail group planning some activities later in the month, one of which is a poker run, and she was wondering if I wanted to come, and if she could borrow Apollo for her boyfriend to ride, and of course I said yes. If I’m well enough, I’d like to ride, too, but if not, I’ll go ahead and volunteer to help anyway I can. They were on their way to a fishing trip at his cabin, but he said he was planning on coming back Sunday night, so it’s possible that he’d be able to help me Monday morning, which would be great! If not, she said she could help find someone else to help. Of course, I can always pump myself full of painkillers and do it myself if absolutely necessary, but I’d rather leave that as Plan B, with Plan A getting someone else to drive. We’ll see what happens over the next few days. PT was good, it hurt a bit, but in a good way, I felt better after I was finished. I had taken a couple for ibuprofen before going, and I’m going to keep doing that until we get this inflammation down and it stops getting so stiff so fast. Walking is getting a little easier, though, once I work the stiffness out. Stopped at the feed store on the way back for Jeff, then home by 4:00, where I settled down for the rest of the day. Getting to be time for bed now, so I’m heading that way. Good night, darlin’! Love you!
