Tuesday
I woke that morning sore every where. I needed a shower badly. Michael planned every move and placed every towel with love. A simple task is nearly impossible by your self with a broken neck. He helped me every inch of the way. After i took a nap i had an appt with the nuero surgeon who would tell me what my future really would be like. Michael carefully gets me to the car and takes me to my appt. where the nuero surgeon gracefully tells me i will be in this collar a long time and that i'm lucky to be a live. He tells me he will see me in a month and then we will know how the healing went wether i can continue with my collar or have surgery. He sends me out the door with more drugs and says good luck. I continue to sleep for the next 24 hours.
Wednesday
The pain is much worse today. The neuro surgeon took me off the motrin which helped with the other aches i was having. I take my first trip down the stairs. I sit with sid and michael for a short while and do homework. Sidney brings me some flowers and a cute card before she goes to dance. Michale is by my side every minute helping with all my needs. He truly is a blessing to me. I thank God for giving him to me and allowing me to live through such an awful fall.
Thursday
I can't sleep at night and I ache all over. Michael is there every few hours with pills to give me and the lack of sleep is getting to him too. He is still so patient with me and gentle with every move. I move down stairs for most of the day and it drains me to absolute tired. I have some great friends Brandy and Trina come to visit and paint my nails and keep my mind off things. Pain pills make you constipated a new concept i haven't personally had to deal with. not something i wanted on my to do list. Deal with that tomorrow! I'm hoping i can get some sleep tonight cause i'm beat
Friday
Still no sleep! Michael is drained he is keeping up with me and sid like a champ. He is making sure i eat so i don't get a belly ache with my pills and doing a wild animal project with sid. he really is the best thing in this world. Michael helps me take a bath thinking that will help my muscle and maybe i can take a nap after. I'm scared of falling....Ice, stairs, wet floor..anything! I've never feared much in my life but falling is on the top of the list right now.
Saturday
I finally got some sleep. Michael broght me a handy benadryl last night. We have had many visitors and phone calls. Which have been very helpful. I've been in bed most of today working on the computer trying to figure out how to blog. I did take my first adventure out that i can remember really. It wasn't the funest but it was need, a trip to the pharmacy for more drugs. My mom came for a short visit today. I played a video game with michael and watched a little TV. Watching TV is even difficult. I'm ready for bed and michael will be by my side every 2-4 hours helping me turn and giving me what i need.
