Sitting Pretty

I don't know what he/she is sitting on but he/she looks quite happy.

I'm trying to fill in some holes in my journal.  It's a slow process since I can't sit at the computer for very long without aggravating my neck.  

It's day 25 since I fractured my neck and I've had to make a number of adjustments in my daily routine to accommodate my neck brace and all the new rules about what I can and can't do.  I'm amazed that I'm not having any trouble sleeping with the brace on and that wearing it 24/7 isn't as bad as I expected.

I have physical therapists coming to the house a couple times a week as well as a nurse to check vital signs, etc.  I have a bath aide as well who comes twice a week to assist with a shower but it's not very enjoyable since the brace stays on even then. 

I'm trying not to complain about all the restrictions because I know it could be worse.  I have to follow all the rules until March 1 when I'll get an X-ray and a visit with the doctor.  I'm hoping I will have healed enough to take the brace off at least and that there won't need to be any surgical correction. 

Blip is wonderful therapy.  I've found a couple new journals to follow and I love to check in with all my friends.  In fact, I don't know what I'd do without them.  I can't do much about getting out to take pictures but I'm lucky that there always seems to be something photographable outside my door.
