Next chemo, I will bring all my scarves and hats, and hope that the Cancer Society lady will be there to show me how to use them. right now, I am comfortable with babushka or nun style. Although I do have a very large batik one with long tails. Probably will get the remaining hair shaved today.
It's good you are even able to have some pt! And make you work up an appetite!
Right now I have one triangular, 2/3 yard on both legs. Too small to cover adequately. One triangular, 3/4 yard on both legs. Just right. One triangular, one yard both legs, generous, I made a band to catch all the ends. Quite impressive. As for longer and narrower, I don't know how to wrap for that. I suspect the cancer society lady will be there for my appointment and give me some pointers. At least I will be prepared with everything I have. I could take something out of the club stash to experiment with, but don't want to abuse the privilege. I would suspect that a 45x12 strip should make a good wrap, but all I know how to do is babushka and knit. And Muslim-style, too, I guess.
Oh and I know that too well. I am shooting to get out by Friday. I have to be able to stand and pivot by myself. I would still need someone there to keep me upright. That way I can go from the bed to wheelchair to commode back to chair and eventually bed. I'm up to 2 hours in the chair, I thhink I could do more if I take the left prosthetic off after I get to the chair. I have a doctor appointment Friday at 8:15am of all times. About a 30min drive from here and hopefully Ginny will take me so have to be able to do it. They don't provide transportation and it costs about $150 each way I think to use the med transfer. I sure wish it was later. Ginny will love that NOT! Woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm ready to go home. Had therapy yesterday. Just 1 but was enough for me. Hip still hurting from it. Have gotten to really know a couple of the aides and the watch out for me if you know what I mean. Therapy today at 210 and 320 pm. Ahhh Monday busy day around here. It's going to take a uhaul to take everything home. I'll sure be glad when I don't have to use a bedpan. Almost got caught so sent it home. I have my new one which is just tiny. Works for me.
Apparently our mosquitos are as wimpy in cold weather as we are. We even had rain, but it immediately began to get colder so maybe we don't have new ones. A good hard freeze or 2 should keep them lower this year. They were still horrible this time last year after Harvey.
Yep I'm trying. They keep putting more of the responsibility on me. I was hurting today after. Did 4 stand and pivots and sit. I couldn't wait to get the pain meds. Even after that I still hurt. My shoulder mostly. I'm not supposed to use it and they jump on me when I do but I still use it some. I must've screwed up my shoulder good. Last time I didn't have to have surgery but guess I broke the socket in a few places so lots of hardware there. No pain no gain is true. Each day it's a little more.
