After my August release (see prior blog entry) I was on strict bedrest. This may sound appealing to many readers however there is something about being forced to stay down that drives one nuts. This is what happened to me. The walls of my large house became to cave in on me and I quickly became miserable. All I could think of was the babies room that needed attention and see the dishes that needed washing or putting away. Plus being locked up in our home with all the xbox, wii, dvd's, cable, on-demand, and netflix didn't do it for me either. Truth is I was sick of not contributing or not having any control.
After noticing this and a talk with my doctor, I rented a wheelchair. The wheelchair allowed me to wheel around the kitchen island and perform tasks like unloading the dishwasher (dishes to the island only), wash dishes, make a sandwich, etc. I was also able to pick up using an arm extender.
