Im Back

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone

I am back from my LONG trip up to my grandma's. We finally got her

all settled in to her new apartment. It is really nice place and is

going to be perfect for her. A huge living room, and bedroom, nice

big bathroom with those things in teh bathtub to help you get out

(the metal poles to grab on to). Plus it has great water pressure

(her old house had no water pressure) and can pretty much get hot

water continuously for a long time as there isnt a seperate hot

water tank for her so we are hoping she will now start taking hot

baths for her hips and back to try and relieve some of her

discomfort. It also has an elevator and a secure entrance with a

buzzer. THe only thing she doesnt like is the kitchen because it is

really small, we tried to convince her that it is fine for one

person and if she needs counter space she can just go out into the

dining room and work at the table.

So for those of you who know me well I was my typical self and

completely overdid it! I didnt wear my wrist brace at all this

weekend or my ankle brace (I retwisted the one I sprained last year

and have definitly aggreivated something). So I of course helped

move things and pack things and clean things (I spent about an hour

the one day scrubbing the fridge out, not good for the wrist). So I

am definitly paying for it now! I was taking pain killers

everynight just to try to dull teh pain enough to fall asleep. I

only fell asleep basically when I became exhausted which was usually

around 2am and was up at 7am when r woke up. I was in the

living room on the pull out couch (not good for your back let me

tell you that!) so I didnt ahve an privacy and could not sleep in.

Plus I was babysitting r basically the entire time i was there.

I am just so glad the week is over and I am back at home in my own

bed where I can sleep when I want until whenever I want.

Hope everyone is doing well. I have a few more things to do on here

then I am off to bed
