Another night sleeping in bed. So nice to stretch. Slept fairly well with bathroom visits. I managed to get leg into bed without leg lifter and that makes life easier. I keep a thin pillow under both knees just to take pressure off my back and a body pillow next to me as a reminder not to turn that way. I also took up a bunch of ice packs in a cooler and it really helped to get through the night. Actually husband took them up for me since I am not supposed to lift more than 10# as part of the precautions and anyways could not carry them up the stairs.
I keep my phone on me all the time and I borrowed an audio library book through Libby and had it playing to me to fall asleep. I picked an author I read before with characters I knew and the story is super light. This gives my brain enough of a focus and the voice reading is relaxing.
PT was here and we agreed I can use cane as long as I am not going or too achey or tired. Feels good. It is a beautiful 60 degree day in upstate NY today so we did our walking on the deck enjoying sunshine and a view.
I even went out later to the yard with my hiking poles to supervise husband playing ball with my dog. Just had to take advantage of the sun and weather.
I am now icing and in the recliner.
Can't wait till tomorrow for the staples to come out.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving day.
