[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2478881, member: 493719"] Hope all are well. Sadly disappointed in myself I now need carer to assist in morning . Lauren needed back at work I need little looking after, I said A lie Carers all very pleasant, despite never knowing quite who is attending me next day Determined to make this as short a gig for them as possible ...sorry carers, much love & gratitude, honest Limited in what they can do or offer me So I get a visual check, that I'm ok & A cup of teas & a small breakfast that I'm most grateful for Too proud to be washed ...I'll manage... is my response & mindset. Lh hand in plaster fingers to mid forearm ..do NOT get wet Rh shoulder blade broken, so upwards/side motions severely restricted Rh leg broke, pinned, reskinned Rh rear ribs repairing And various other locations of hurt. Seated bathing at sink best I can do at mo. Self washing rather hit & miss. Lauren helps where I let her Fraught all round with my indignation/ wounded pride & her frustration at my perceived petulance ... Too little experience of being a patient, patient Who knew I'd be such a tw**...(yes, yes, you boys, quiet at the back ) Mobility now moved onto toileting.... alone....yippee. And made tea & toast today. Yes, yes food of the devil, but I need to eat to recover, so only 1 battle a day really matters. I skirt around the T2D where It appears, so only minor skirmishes outside of main meals Main foods I do better, Lauren knows over the last few years what I can eat , like to eat & should eat So shops & cooks accordingly But a damaged wrist from a few years back has become an issue and limits what she can do. Current nurse ratched duties haven't helped I'm not quite DiCaprio from the revenant tho it feels it somedays when I let myself wallow. Must do better. Been a good day today. Various family visits Cheered me up Rehashing the accident & the repercussions, real or imagined, invade my darker thoughts So any distractions most welcome. Well enough to be capable of thinking I have found a rhythm through the day that helps rather then hinders. As said getting fitter. The drag of too many points of injury impacting that, but realistic to know each day is step closer to better/fuller recovery. I tell myself Each dawn is a new day, I get to see & I get to see it complete, where so many don't. An indulgent whine..sorry Onwards and upwards Is the only way forward. [/QUOTE]
