Well, my first night out of the hospital went well. I conked out by 9pm and Mike said I slept hard until 5am. I guess I even snored. I do know I hurt like heck when I woke up and screamed for him to come help me. The bed is a little lower and and I don't have a side rail to grab onto so we sill make have to come up with plan B for getting myself out of bed. We went out for lunch and had what can only be explained as a sausage cut in half, laid out on some sort of hard roll and covered with mozzerella cheese. Then left out to cool off and hard a bit. And yes, we actually picked it out to eat it. It tasted awesome! I have know clue what it was called but we shared it so wel could go next door and get some ice cream. I had vanilla- it was to die for. Now, I not to sure if the food is really that great or if it's the lack of flavor and texture I have suffered through in the past week. My back/leg and stomach are really killing me. Everything requires walking and my body is still working on getting back into shape. I am taking it slowly, but my wheelchair is not coming until today so this requires a little more walking then we all wanted. My stomach has really been swollen so the PT worked on that area today as well. I am having lymph....something where they massage the swelling from your tissues. Feels good for the most part. The physician wanted me to have it done and setup the appts. Unfortunately, now that I am no longer in-patient, the charges are out-of pocket. We are trying not to cut corners but there has to be a limit. I did cancel tomorrows appt and will keep monday and possibly tuesdays since that's when we leave. I asked enough questions so maybe Mike can do a partial job, he seems to do everything else. Look forward to visiting with Marc today. I need him to take us to the shops around this area and translate all the damn sayings! Can you believe they have special beer glasses/mugs for each TYPE of beer?! Crazy. And for all you WIC ladies- the only milk I can find is 3 1/2%, figure that one out! Nobody drinks milk around here, near impossible to find. Talk to you soon.
Thanks for looking in on us again.
Love,
Jodi
Good Morning, I am so glad to hear that you slept. Don't laugh but I think I broke the lawn mower trying to figure out how to use it. Mike is gone until Sunday so I thought I would attempt to mow the lawn. Having someone come out tonight to see what I did to it. So are you trying out all the different beers. Love ya, Kris
ReplyDeleteHi Jodi and Mike, So glad to hear that you are out and about, only hope all goes well for you and that you will be able to enjoy your last few days in Germany. Are there any Schindele's around there?? Hopefully you will have a comfortable trip home. I am sure sitting on a plane for many hours could wear you out so will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Have a safe trip home. Love to You, Nace and Janet
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad your day went well. I hope getting out of bed gets easier. I hope also that you can get more leg room on the trip home. It's great you have a friend to spend time with you. Hope the day went well today.
ReplyDeleteHi! Mom and I took a trip up town,went to the gift shop penneys and the antique shop. That was fun. I have been digging weeds in your flower gardens around the house,just to get outside. Abby stayed with Wendy last night as Avery was staying there for the night also.She was happy to go. Ryan is so good Mom and I have had some good laughs with him. Kaleb is so good to help. They are doing good waiting for you to come home Love Mom
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you slept well. How's the chocolate hunting going? :) Let me know the $ I will pay you for the good chocolate....not M & M's though! According to my German lady co-worker the bread there is not as airy as we have here but not unleavened bread. Haven't skyped you because I have been busy at work which is a bummer. I will try tomorrow morning! Take it slow!
