A Night Time Story

Hi gang,

Well last night was one of those nights where nothing worked. Darcy has been staying with me, this was the first night she left me “alone”…but she really needed a break. So the routine here is they give you the la,la drugs (Meghan adlib morphine) and a sleeping pill, so last night I got the drugs, usually I am asleep until 4ish, and then they give me a second one and I sleep until 5ish. I get these little aches and pains in my ankles, my, toes, my knees and when Darcy is here she could do a quick adjustment on my leg. However when she wasn’t here. I had to call the nurse but since I can’t use my hands I have a device that I can blow into a plastic tube is right beside my mouth I just blow into it and it rings the bell at the nurses station, but sometimes I need 4 or 5 adjustments in 10 minutes, I don’t like to bother the nurses that much, but I know they would come if I called. Last night my legs  just hurt like hell,  I woke up before 2 o’clock,  I got some more drugs which allowed me to sleep until 4 o’clock and then I was awake the rest of the night then by 6 o’clock, I was able to sleep on and off until noon. 

Ok that was a bad night the rest of the day went much better it was good to see terry and Karen rice and I got lifted out of bed at 4 o’clock and had a tour around the floor in a big chair for about 45 minutes, it was great I sat in the sun and I sat in front a big window overlooking the city with a view.  Darcy only has learners permit in wheel chair driving, but she is getting a lot better  :o) 

One of the problems I’m having is I am really not that hungry but I know I need to eat,  I know I need to eat but it is difficult to get motivated. …they don’t have any cabernet.  But I found booster juice which isn’t that difficult to swallow. I will be doing physio all next week here and when they figure I am capable enough they will move me to a rehab hospital. Either in Toronto, Hamilton or London.  We are thinking of London because it would be much more convenient for Darcy to get there.

Just a short note today I’m a little pooped today.

I can’t say it enough thank you for all of your support on facebook!!!!!
