I did it! I got up and made supper!

Wednesday, June 18, 2014

Today started out as most of my days have been - just laying in bed, reading and all.  I didn't really feel all that much different.  I had woken up around eleven, and by noon it seemed like I was going crazy laying there, so I got up and got on the pute for a bit.
When I was done with that, I made myself a peanut butter and jelly (orange marmalade) sandwich, which I went back to bed and enjoyed with the rest of the bag of Ruffles.  Then I just stayed there in bed all afternoon reading and playing the DS, as usual.
Ron didn't get home until after 6:30, and then he decided to go out and play around with the tires on Josh's car.  Once he gets fixated on something, he's GOT to get it done!  So, silly me, I thought ' why don't I get up and see if I can get supper started and surprise Ron?' and that's what I did.

I had to grit my teeth and get pans out of the drawer on the bottom of the stove, but I did it, and I made cheese weenies, which are really cheesy metts, along with my Mother's Day mac n' cheese and a can of mixed veggies, which I picked half of the carrots out of so they were truly mixed veggies, not a can of carrots with a little bit of other stuff thrown in.  Egads, that drives me crazy!
The pans were a little heavier than I remembered once they were filled with water and I had to move them over to the stove, but I did okay.  This is the first meal I have made - or even helped with - since this happened on May 4th, so I felt pretty damn proud of myself!

I did take my plate back in to bed to eat, and I've been back in bed ever since.  I just came out now, at 10:30, to shut down the pute, and thought - why not go ahead and write my blog on the correct day for a change?  Let's get back to where I should be!

I am starting to think that this shot has helped some - I still can't sit for a long, long time, but I am moving much better and I feel like I can do stuff, and that makes me feel better! - so I think I made a good decision to get the shot, but I will still reserve judgement for a few days.
