From one moment to the next, the way I feel is a big unknown. During the day, if the Shoulder Pain is low, I get to walk down the hall to the front of the building and back. The entire time Kathy is standing at the door watching/listening, if there is a problem, forgetting that my Legs are doing the work. Of course, since the hall zig-zags, a wall could easily jump out in my path to add to the Pain I continue to feel. If Kathy is having a bad day, the Apartment becomes our sanctuary.
The last couple of nights, I managed only an Hour in Bed, before repeatedly walking around the Apartment and trying to sleep in my Recliner. The other night I was the one to respond to a Crashing Sound from the Bedroom. Kathy’s feet became tangled in the bedding, causing her to fall but landed on the Bed. In doing so, her CPAP Machine came crashing off her bedside table, landing luckily on her slippers. The end result was only spilled Water and disturbed sleep. Kathy had forgotten about it by morning.
Last night, I had to take an Extra Strength Tylenol in order to ease the Shoulder Pain along with Icing it for an Hour. Nurses had told me, the Pain would be like our weather, a roller-coaster ride. I woke up to find the machine still working, Five Hours later.
Our daughter Karen continues to be our saviour, bring us meals, cooking what we have on hand as well as taking Kathy out for walks, that are twice the distance she would do with me. Her excuse was that she did not think I would make it, even though I was trying to egg her on.
Today, I made our breakfast snack before waking her. When it came time to warm up lunch, she kept walking in circles in the Kitchen. When I tried to coach her, I was told, I was confusing her. When I tried physically helping, she started screaming until I left the room.
We are taking one day at a time, good or bad. I’ll write when I can.
