The physical therepy prescribed by my doctor has yet to materialize. I have to wait till they have an opening and be evaluated etc. I'm still waiting for a call from them. I tried calling them and crying a lot but they have no sympathy.
I am living on pain pills and inactivity. Lucky for me that fits my lifestyle.The worst part is getting out of bed in the mornings. It is a long drawn out process of inching to a sitting position and letting everything settle and then inching to a standing position (trying not to fall backwards in to the above mentioned sitting position) [Not always succeeding]. However, when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom I don't usually have time for this ritual and I end up moaning and groaning a lot.
Showering is an adventure. Once I get it and let the hot water stream over my back, that parts pretty good. I can manage to wash up but you would be surprised how many back muscles it takes to lift your arms. I haven't washed my hair since I left Florida.
Another bad part is getting dressed. It is very frustrating to dangle step in clothing only to get your toes caught up in the elastic parts. I did manage to wiggle into my shoes to go to the doctor's but I used a ruler to close the velcro. Socks, of course, are out of the question.
I don't expect this disability to curtail my gambling trip this weekend.

Glad to see your priorities are in order. Slots before socks!
