late night post #3

I was in bed, and as usual forgot to take the pain med for the foot. It takes awhile for it to take affect and so the tossing and turning and yet trying to keep the sheets from touching my foot while it's propped up on a pillow to hang over the edge of it.. So once again I get up, and am sitting here doing this and watching tv.. Roseanne is an old show that has a corny laugh factor to it and so it's what I have been watching on those nights just like this.

Now tomorrow I won't be able to sleep late and so can't sit here to long, but it is currently 1:15am. Yes, I laid in bed for about 45 minutes and the pain was beating out the pain med, but I refuse to take a second tab when I need to get up in the morning. Two tabs of morphine is a good sleep agent.

Tonight after dinner (that we all contributed to in some way) Greg and I went for a walk... yep that's what I said, A WALK.. and I'm telling you that I worked up a sweat and it was cool outside after a warm day... are you curious as to how far I walked for the first "official" walk, well second.. I only made it to the school the first time last week. But tonight, I/we walked all the way to the corner of... Rose and Woodruff.. that is the end of our street and is .2 of a mile each way.. so woo hoo..

Being that my strength and stamina are on the low end of what I would consider desireable, something has to work towards it. While I wait for the spinal doc to give his blessing for P/T and lift the restrictions of no bending, twisting, lifting, pushing, pulling. I have been thinking lately that the Wii Fit might work out, for as much fun as we have with the games with extended family at Christmas last year might be an answer. The other day I text my friend Bonnie before a dr appt if she had time for lunch, she said she was home waiting for repair guys but come over.. so we quickly went out for drive thru El Pollo Loco and than to her house. I mentioned about the Wii Fit idea and Bonnie showed me what it was like since she had one.. so I think the basic levels are alot of what I could do now on many of the options in it. Later when I was leaving she said I could borrow it. So that night I sent Shane to pick it up after Chase had unhooked it for us, and if he hadn't been there Shane could have figured it out.

So today Shane hooks it up while I'm sleeping on the couch.. thinking he'd hook it up on downstairs TV in the den on the BIG screen and where theres more space. I wake to find he is upstairs in my room playing the game on our tv as Mr Miaggi and laughing his head off, so happy to be beating my friends score. He figured that since I'm only test driving it, he was keeping his xbox on the den tv for now.. But trust me should I decide to get Wii Fit of the next thing that is coming out, the big screen is mine.. he will be moved to the little tv in the other room... haha hahahahahahahaha ahhahahahaha the evil mother has spoken!

well, it's now 2am and so I will now text Ashley as she is on her way to her morning roll call, and I will head back to bed..
