Almost the End of Week One

Still a ton of emotions!  Good days, bad days.  Good hours and bad hours too!

One of the roadblocks I thought about was - what happens when I drop something?  Well Saturday morning decided to test my patience and resourcefulness.

Making breakfast at the counter and my walker tips and falls on the base of my big toe.  A big ouch, picked up the walker - not too bad.

I used my bed tray on wheels to bring my breakfast too and from the bed.  On the way to the kitchen my computer mouse dropped to the floor - oh well, will wait until someone comes and picks it up.

Bring my breakfast dishes back to the kitchen, wanted an apple from the fridge - reached down and my cell phone drops from my pocket to the floor.  Great, just great.  So I'm pushing the mouse and the cell phone toward my bed - I'll reach down and pick them up - not too bad!

I get to the bed and plop down because I'm pooped - off the bed flies the TV Converter on the floor - seriously!!!

I lean over pick up the cell phone, the mouse and the TV Converter - Wow done.  Pull the TV tray over to enjoy my apple.  Yup you guessed it - the apple falls off the tray and on to the floor.

At this point - I scream at the top of my lungs:  "Are you f*** kidding me?" 

Thanks for testing my patience and resourcefullness!!
