Today has been the best so far. Rob slept most of Friday after getting out of surgery. Yesterday he was in more pain than Friday or today. Hopefully that was the worst it’ll ever get. After getting a loud, confused roommate at 11:30 last night, we finally got some sleep about 2am. We got a whole 4 hours of mostly interrupted sleep. It was blissful.
In other big news… We got showers! That was the highlight of our day (well, other than getting discharged). We both felt so grody. My hair was disgusting. There wasn’t any shampoo but they did have plenty of Johnson & Johnson Baby Hair & Body Wash. It worked and we felt spectacular afterward. The rents came up to hang out with us and were there to talk with the surgeon for one last time. We go to see him again on Thursday.
They also helped us home. We brought so much stuff with us, you would have thought we were moving in. It was great to have help bringing everything home, unpacking and putting stuff away.
The maids had come Friday and neither of us had been home since. They did SUCH a great job. We used Maids on Call. They advertise heavily in our building and service a bunch of other units. Plus we had a $20 off gift card. Wow was it worth it! Just coming home to a tidy house was great. But everything was clean; like scrubbed, dusted, vacuumed, buffed, shined clean. We can’t afford to do bi-weekly cleanings (nor do I think we really need to). But I’d definitely do it again, especially before parties.
So we’re home and settled. I even made jello (sugar free, of course).
