The first thing I need to make clear is I don’t have the best phone service here. I have two bars at best. I really don’t want to deal with phone calls. I started with daily blog entries to eliminate sounding like a broken record. 

Upper left shows my lack of service. You might be able to hear me but I have a hard time hearing you.

Over all I feel ok. I am working with pt daily and to go from the bed to the recliner to back to the bed makes me tired. On top of that I am sharing a room – mostly have been with older women with hip fractures and dementia. Sleeping at night has not been easy. This might be why I might be coming off as cranky. I didn’t sleep well last night – napping makes it difficult with pt and ot coming in and out at random times throughout the day. 

Roommate number 1: screamed all night. 

Roommate number 2: was deaf, drs, nurses, family was constantly screaming 

Roommate number 3: screamed most of the night last night. I don’t know when she arrived – right now she has a handful of visitors 

I am able to get comfortable on the bed in my own. I can get up with assistance and a platform walker and some there. I am not hopping yet but can shimmy my left foot to help get from the bed to the recliner to the bed again. I am making progress. 

I was suppose to have surgery on Friday but that got pushed back to tomorrow over a blood blister in the area where the surgeon needs to cut. I don’t know the time. I’m hoping in the am.
