Rehab - Day 46 (31 Dec 2010)

Woken up earlier than normal as today, apart from being New Years Eve, is Friday and the osteoporosis pill has to be taken on its own and at least a ½hr before all the others (Jackie at Alchemy will have her work cut out with separating all these pills once I get to see her!  There's about 10 of ém now, not 5!) - It's a beautiful sunny day which bodes well for New Years fireworks tonite - I wonder if we can see them from here?  I keep thinking of food I will try again when I get home, cooking yesterday sparked that off.  I must do a Coles Online shopping list for Saturday morning 16th (what a delicious thought - sleep in my own bed, sit in my own chair (if I can - lol), belong to my own stuff again).

I still am having trouble focussing on OT and Physio even tho am now on the official countdown to "outta here"!!  But am persevering and did manage to get to OT twice today so eventually did one whole routine and I don't let myself skimp on the important ones, eg curls, incline board or the rubber band exercises for my right hand - it's still a bloody great bore tho - sorry Tracey but it is to me.  And I haven't done swallowing exercises for quite a while apart from the odd small set of Mousaka (tongue poke out and swallow) and the effortful K (hold end of tongue and spit out K from right back in your throat, but I am sure that once life returns to normal (ie after Xmas/New Year break), everyone including me will get back into the swing.  I am just so focussed on going home and getting the dogs back - I cannot wait to begin my life again after such a long hiatus!!  My "To Do"List gets longer'n longer - lol.

No more rain so very overcast, muggy and hot again today - just spent the afternoon (apart from an hour in OT) on the bed, keeping myself occupied and out of trouble *G*  Went out to tea and because I didn't want what was on the menu, I had my quiche with vegies - very tasty and very filling - and finished off with a Weis bar (delightful tea) - Physio sure tires me and my legs out (even tho it's usually just before lunch, I still feel it at tea time) so once I'd had tea, into my nightie and into bed - played my games and then watched some TV - fairly late to sleep (reckon that might be the way of it until I actually get home - too mch thinking going on)
