Today I continue to feel better.  I took off the scopolamine patch and am trying to use only ibuprofen during the day.  The Narco works well for pain but makes me feel woozy and dimwitted.  The patch and pill together made my vision so blurry, I had trouble stitching, playing Animal Crossing, or reading.  It has been frustrating that I have to rest, but also can’t do my favorite restful activities well.  Tonight I still have blurry vision but it’s getting better.  I can walk for longer periods with less support.  I think the swelling is down – I’ve been keeping them elevated and iced religiously.<\/p>\n

Mom has been a huge help: cooking and cleaning, teaching and entertaining, and keeping all of us in good spirits.  She went back home tonight.  Amanda is going to come help with the kids tomorrow while Ben takes me to my doctor.  I have a follow-up appointment to change the dressing and look at how my feet are healing.  I’m very curious to see how it looks under all this gauze.<\/p>\n

Mom and the boys transferred all our seedlings to the vegetable beds.  They did a great job!  Mom’s a total pro, so I’m sure we’ll have a bountiful harvest now that her green thumb bestowed a touch on our plants.  I couldn’t resist waddling outside to see their work, and mom insisted on a family picture.<\/p>\n

Tonight I was getting that claustrophobic-cabin fever feeling.  I threw off my headphones and sighed loudly that I wish I could go walk around the block for a change of scenery.  Well, Ben made it happen:<\/p>\n

Besides feeling like a fool, it was wonderful.  Fresh air, the smell of flowers, and a little sunshine all helped to reset my mental state.<\/p>\n
