Yesterday was a fine day. Several walks, a little drive in the country. Not much to do except look at the windows that need a good wash, and I window washing is a little beyond the limits of both my energy and physical ability right now. We seem to have a lot of rain every day, so this is probably not a good time for that project anyway.
Last night I had no trouble getting settled in bed. My wounds didn't bother me and the ribs felt pretty good too. Best of all, when I woke up at 3 AM, I had graduated from machete to hunting knife in the pain department. It's nearly noon on Tuesday, and the knife feels as though it's twisting around in my back but it's all very tolerable. I don't know how a twisting hunting knife can possibly be an improvement over a slashing machete, but it is, at least in this analogy.
The biggest challenge is cobbling together a good seating arrangement. So many sofas and chairs that other people find comfortable are too big for me and I need a straight back. I'm sitting with a firm foam cushion behind me, and I have an adjustable tray table in front.
We're good for now!

Glad that the nighttime pain is not as severe, Cath!
