I Just Got Quite The Wake-Up Call!
I just got quite the wake-up call! After waking up only to figure out I was on an angle across the bed on my side and too close to the rail to actually move anywhere I called the nurse who had just brought in my catheter supplies to help me get unstuck. Then after setting everything up to do my morning catheter at 6AM I opened the cath up and discovered it didn’t even bend. It was a size 14f! I use size 10f, so there was quite a difference in the size! I rang the nurse and told her it was huge and she got me my regular size. It was scary big! She said they usually use that size for males. They usually use size 12f for females but even that size causes problems for me.
I decided seeing how I was awake I would check the CBC news website to see if anything interesting has happened in the news, but I ended up turning on the TV and an episode of Family Guy was on (the one where Lois finds out she’s Jewish) and I started watching that instead. Then I proceeded to dump some cinnamon apple sauce over my white shirt and now I’m debating whether to get another couple of hours of sleep before breakfast. I guess that’s my morning so far…

Sometimes days just start out as a disaster area! My opinion is it’s better to go back to sleep, and pretend none of it happened when you wake up again.

If only you left this comment sooner lol I probably would have followed your advice! I ended up staying awake watching TV and browsing the Internet until breakfast. I felt completely drained by 10:30AM, but I did shave my legs this morning so… lol! The RT was a complete slave driver today though lol he tied me and another quad up in his gym and made us lift weights and use the hand bike for nearly an hour. At least he remembered to untie us for lunch lol! I’m not quite sure what effect this will have on physio. at 1PM though.
