Around 2:00 am I decided I wanted to try and sleep in the bed. It took me 15 minutes to lie down but I did it. Now getting up, took me two episodes of MASH before I could get up, and to tell the truth I was starting to panic as I did not take my cell phone into the bedroom and thought I would not be able to get out of bed because it hurt on my left side. I did not wear my CPAP machine, but snored myself awake so I knew I needed it, but it was waaaaayyyy over on the other side of the bed. Tonight I will try and get in bed on the right side instead of the left and wear my CPAP as well. Will let ya know. My drill sergeant Kim called me and told me to walk out to the mail box. I didn't think I could do it, but I did. I had one of those grabber thingies you see on TV and grabbed the newspaper without having to lean down. I had my cell phone in my pocket just in case. No, I did not give back my kitties, but they keep wanting to lay on my lap. :thumbup: I think the beef consomme is so much better than the chicken broth. Also I had some vegetable broth as well. I had to take the pain meds though, again, about 3 hours ago, I mean it still hurts, but the meds does tone it down a bit, I guess I'm more whimpy than some of you.
