Re: Switched and almost human again!

[Guest guest]

Amy,

So glad that you're home and doing better now! I am four weeks out

on this coming Monday and today was the first day that I vacuumed my

cabin, and I did it while seated on a chair, LOL.

Take it easy, but do walk, first sip and nibble, then in a few weeks

you can be more productive. The first job I did two weeks ago was

washing the dishes, also from a chair. The next thing I tackled was

folding the clothes, hot out of the dryer, that my husband brought to

me (He had to put them away though!!)

Amy,

I didn't have any complications and I don't think I was productive for almost 3

1/2 weeks! *grins* Glad you're home but remember your main focus should be

intaking those fluids and trying to heal! Just because you're home, does not

mean it's time to rearrange the living room like you've been meaning to do or

something!

Welcome to the switched side, Amy! Glad to hear you're recovering

now after the minor complications. Hope everything goes smoothly

from now on!
