So today is the day we check out of the Crescent Suites and head to Cape Cod for the wedding on Saturday. During the night I woke up around 3am and again around 8 or so. The second time I shimmied myself out of bed and Mom heard me come back to bed so she helped me back in. I took my meds both times since they were all 5 hours apart and got back into bed. I watched some of the morning news and talk shows then ended up falling asleep again. It wasn’t until noon that I crawled out of bed! Sometimes the medication makes me really sleepy and sometimes I have a lot of energy.
Mike had made his way to the suite by way of the T and then we waited for Kevin to come back to Waltham so we could check out, get some lunch, then be on our way to the Cape and my parents could head time. Kevin got there a little after 1pm and we started to pack up. I got a little sad again since things just aren’t easy and you do get down about things. It’s a major, major surgery and is a hard pill to swallow, especially less than a week later and already out of the hospital and on my own. After checking out we went to Shopper’s Café which is where we ordered dinner from last night and the food was great. I wasn’t very hungry, plus I was waiting to take my medicine with food so I was pretty sore and I was really hot. We sat down and I was real uncomfortable. I ordered a wrap and wasn’t even hungry at all. Finally our food came and I couldn’t wait for everyone to finish so we could go. I went to the bathroom before we left which was a bad idea. The “handicap” stall was not handicap at all. It was a larger stall, yeah, but the toilet was SO low I could barely get off it! I tried and it hurt so bad on my hip, but I finally got up. Then I was upset and really mad. We got the heck out of there, got into the Tahoe (which we’re borrowing from my Dad), Kevin put on my beautiful stockings, we said our goodbyes and off we went.
The car ride was OK. It took about an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes but it was fine. My butt/tailbone was getting sore. We arrived and you can’t drive up to your cottage, so we parked across the street in a large parking lot and walked over. I used the wheel chair so I could help carry stuff on my lap and because it was a long walk for me. Kevin did the rest of the trips with the large wheel barrow they offer.
We ate torpedos for dinner then lounged around and I ended up falling asleep on the bed pretty early which is what I don’t want to do because I really want to sleep at night. Kevin woke me up around 9pm and I got ready, took my meds and got into bed. I woke up around 3am and had Kevin help me to the bathroom, took medicine and woke up again around 630am, got up again, then slept off and on the rest of the morning until about 8am.
Less than thrilled to not be in my own home!
