What it feels like outside...
What it feels like in my bedroom "slash" office!
I put my air conditioner in and what a pain that was! Quite literally... I can't even lift my arms to put a t-shirt on. So it'll be button up shirts for a few days. Aren't repeated surgeries fun?
Even though I put the a/c in the window the temperatures didn't plummet but with the temps over 80 and humidity at 72% the a/c is better than sliced bread!
Even with my pain levels off the charts and having to migrate from recliner to bed and back to recliner, I was able to get some fairly decent sleep. Anytime I can get real sleep it's a huge plus in the cycling down of my pain levels overall.
I consider myself very lucky when I can accomplish that and still be lucid. Not that I rely on narcotics... they don't affect the damaged nerve pain that I endure 27/7. But when I do physical stuff and have torn muscles in my chest (highly likely and common when I do stuff like putting in my a/c... Who knew?)
My loved one that underwent surgery for the cancer got a good report and is feeling much better and is making great, steady progress in her recovery. That makes me feel better knowing that the outcome won't be like my Mom's was... dying far too young.
I guess I should actually do something today. What I should do is some cleaning or something productive that won't hurt me further... me? I'm thinking I going to stay holed up in my bedroom and read a book... yeah, that's the ticket!
