Sadly having a pity party today.
Yesterday after pedaling, walking with walker then on new crutches, had to lie down with ice and elevation ... above and lateral to knee swollen, also calf! Hip behaving thankfully. Hubby being unsympathetic and raised voice ... I cried! I told hubby I can't go through this again. Hubby walks off to his office/computer. I wrote Surgeon e-mail asking for appointment and blood test, got ackowledgement, waiting for date. Needless to say a strained afternoon/evening followed.
Today, not even asked how I am, going about as usual! Last week I had asked him to put non-slip strips on corner of bath where I get in and out now that I am able to get in and out. A while ago he comes and asks me where the strips are ... I told him that at a guess
HE put them in the bottom drawer in the kitchen. He came back with them in hand and said it was a good job I have a good memory because he can't remember what he did several years ago!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrr!
By the way, I am fine today but will find out for sure when I walk to the bathroom for a soak in the tub, some 30 steps away plus a step. I use a commode chair next to the bed at night because of the distance. The guest toilet is marginally closer also with a step but hubby turned the water off months ago as it needs a repair which he will do at some time in the distant future!
I estimate he spends 45 minutes to an hour a day helping me and doing things for me. I cannot wait to be totally independent again, it cannot come too soon.
Rant over ... sorry!
You don't get through 51 years without ups and downs.
Any old how, I plan on having a peaceful Sunday perhaps sitting outside in the shade for a while and hope everyone else enjoys their day. xx
PS By the way, I ALWAYS say thank you every time hubby does something for me, ie, gets a cup of tea, helps me with my clothes, laundry, etc, and i always say 'thank you, love you, sleep well' at the end of the day.
