You are the gourmet chef. And me being happy with my pot roast. Hope you are feeling in better spirits today.

Carrie May's wild salmon sounds delicious but if your pot roast includes mashed potatoes and gravy @SarahBee, I'm on my way!!!

 

[SarahBee]

Sometimes it does, @SE Florida ,but sometimes it is potatoes, onions, carrots and celery. Mood dependent

I hear you on that one! I love doing the potatoes, onions and carrots too. Haven't thought of doing celery with it! Used to be a Sunday staple here.

I am going to make a nice chicken soup with a good bone broth....it's still pretty rainy and raw in my neck of the woods so it will be very comforting

 

[Carriemay60]

I had a good melt down over a water bottle cap that rolled under a china cabinet that I couldn't retrieve and it took me a good 2 days to get over it.

Oh gosh, this made me laugh! That sounds like the kind of thing that could set me off when I was heavily pregnant!!

 

[Carriemay60]

@SarahBee & @SE Florida Nothing wrong with a pot roast; absolute comfort to me and the smell in the house is like heaven!
@Bfam85 I have missed really good chicken and turkey soups this last winter or two because I just couldn't do all the bone picking/standing/chopping, etc. I really wished I had one on hand to come home to after surgery. I used to run a homemade soup & pie tea shop with my mom about 35 years ago.

@Carriemay60 You are at the stage I call the "one month slump". Most people see significant progress in the first 4 weeks. For some reason at week 4 it seems everything is moving in slow motion. Truth is you are still very much in healing mode. I predict you will see significant progress when you get to the 6-8 week mark.

 

[Bfam85]

@Carriemay60, I actually made one batch before surgery and froze it so that it was my first meal at home .. How interesting to hear that you had your own soup and tea shop! That sounds so comforting and sweet

Thing is about the water bottle top... I was finished with the water, didn't need it, no one else could see it, but i used my cane, a broom handle, the fly swatter and almost hurt myself trying to get it out.
When hubby got home, I was in a puddle crying about how I couldn't reach it and how infirmed and incompetent I felt. He said "What do you need it for?"
That Is Not The Point! I exclaimed.

Hi @CarrieMay
Hated week 4/5 with those Blues.. felt like I’d made so much progress & then... thud... it hits just what you’ve been through...

Hold on.... it gets better... hopefully some sunshine will come your way... sending lots of positive hugs.

A bunch of spring flowers for you too.

@Mojo333 and of course it wasn't really about that bottle cap!!! It was ALL of the dropped items, the asking for help picking up "whatever" that item was at the moment. For me, it's been my cane falling just outside of my reach for the umpteenth time....I have actually started laughing. We do need a sense of humor about all of this, don't we? Thankfully, my husband has been so patient and helpful. That helps for sure. @Hoppy Nanny what glorious color on such a dreary day in the northeast of America....

 

[Carriemay60]

Thank you @Hoppy Nanny . Those are beautiful!

 

[Carriemay60]

What the flaming heck?!!
Sitting down I started to move my right op leg slightly to the left and had the most excruciating sudden pain. Absolutely took my breath away. My 1st fear was dislocation it was so bad. The "spasm"? eased after about 2 minutes but I can still finger point it. Feels like @Rhiannon89 's kicked me full force. Still not entirely sure if it was muscle or..? Sure hope I never face that again. I think it was the biggest pain since surgery. Off the charts!

 

[SarahBee]

Oh, no, @Carriemay60 ! Does it hurt when you walk or bear weight on it? Or was it just the spasm and now a sore spot? I hate you are having this still/again. Hope you feel better and it's just a painful blip. Hugs!

 

[Hoppy Nanny]

Hoping that doesn’t happen again... it might have been a muscle spasm ... hope so ... a rub & some ice methinks x

@SarahBee It feels a little harder walking, maybe a bit weaker but not unstable. But definitely a sore spot. I was nervous to put weight on it initially in case it buckled on me. Kind of odd because I didn't really feel like I needed to ice but my son convinced me it was due and worth it. Only sitting on the ice 10 minutes when it happened.

 

[Carriemay60]

@Hoppy Nanny see above about the ice. Thinking I might sit on a bit of heat later? As long as I keep it well away from the incision it's okay?

You need the grabber to retrieve the cane you dropped @Bfam85
We do need to have a sense of humor in it all...temporary pathetic losers that we are

 

[JennyLynne]

Wow that’s scary, but I’ve had the same happen. So unsettling. Why must recovery be so mind rattling?
