About 4pm an occupational therapist arrived at the house to help me understand my needs and give me some pointers to navigate this new normal. She was very nice and had very helpful tips and tricks to make my life easier around the house while I am recovering. I ordered the wrong type of shower bench and she recommended a transfer bench until I gain more balance. I also ordered a toilet bar set to help me get up off the pot more easily. Very helpful.
She wanted to see how I would make coffee and prepare my breakfasts and lunches etc. She said I am doing well on my recovery and wanted to see how I type on my computer etc. Was concerned about my double vision but that goes with the scope of the biopsy I had. She said the incision site of the biopsy looks clean and healthy and to continue what I am doing with care to the wound. I told her about this blog and she said that is a healthy outlet to get feelings out and explain to friends and family about what is going on with me.
My cats were obviously in the way while she was here, as cats mostly are. Of course they left me alone all day until she came by. Now I just have to coordinate some Amazon returns to send back a few items. All in all it was a good day.
I worked this morning with some reorders for the store. I checked in with my assistant to go over the last few days of recovery with her. She was very considerate of my being on leave. I had a zero sugar pb&j sandwich my wife made for me last night. It was delicious. Especially the zero sugar blackberry jelly. I love that stuff. For breakfast I made some mini quiche yesterday which I cooked extra to have today with a nice cup of coffee. I placed a Costco Instacart order today and had a few things delivered. I am homebound for the next few weeks. Tomorrow Physical Therapy comes and Thursday they come again. Occupational Therapy will be on Wednesdays for the next 4 weeks. She will call me tomorrow night to arrange for a time to arrive. I am so glad I have them in my corner to help me with things I didn’t know about etc. I can’t have a more positive outlook on this recovery than I have. It’s been very eyeopening and good to hear that I am doing well with my recovery.
