I went to bed around 10:30pm last night, still having a bit of a difficult time getting comfortable sleeping on my back (I normally sleep on my side), but I’m managing… As opposed to the hospital, where I would constantly wake up to alarms going off, people screaming/moaning, or my own pain, here at the apartment pretty much the only thing that wakes me up is pain…. So I sleep at about 4 hours clips (the duration of a Percoset dose), but last night, I woke up at 4:30am, took my drugs, but was unable to get comfortable or get back to sleep… So I woke up and asked her to help me out to the living room…

I was finally able to get comfortable out here, and even managed to sleep another hour or two… I watched the season premiere of Deadwood from last week, not sure what I think of it.. I am also almost completely caught up on the show Lost which I got addicted to after Audra recommended it to me… Thankfully TVTorrents.com was able to “catch me up” and I now only have a few more episodes to watch before I’m caught up… And I can watch them while strapped into my Constant Passive Motion (CPM) machine for hours at a day…

Man, this Powerbook has turned out to be a godsend…. I think I’d be coping with this injury less successfully without the portability and versatility of this laptop. Corinna was able to bring it to the hospital so we could watch movies, I can bring it to the bedroom so I can chat or read or watch shows off the TiVo… It’s just wonderful…

Mom and Dad are visiting today, which should be good… I am getting more and more comfortable functioning with my bad leg… This morning I even managed to put a sock on my bad foot using my left foot… It took awhile, but every little thing like that which I can do on my own makes me feel a bit more human. We also had a raised toilet seat with push bars delivered yesterday, so I can use the bathroom relatively normally now…
