This Sling of mine.....and what I know because of it!


This sling I'm wearing is really getting on my nerves....
I know that I have to wear it for 5 more weeks so I should really become friends with it!
I know it is going to help me get better!
I know how it feels to not be physically 100%.
I know my family loves me but misses all my usual things that I do.
I know what it's like to type only with my left hand.
I know how to take a shower and wash my hair with only my left hand.
I know that sleeping on a recliner isn't my favorite place to sleep.
I know almost every television show in the middle of the night.
I know going to the bathroom and taking care of business should not be taken for granted!
I know I miss my bed and my hubby in it.
I know he's sleeping better....he told me so!
I know I could go on and on about this crazy sling.
But I am pretty sure you get the picture!
Thanks for reading about my frustrations!

That sounds miserable!

Five years ago, when I had my gallbladder removed, I had to sleep propped up in bed all night long, with pillows on either side of me to rest my arms (so I guess you could say I made my own version of a recliner in bed! :). I can so relate... it completely SUCKED, and I couldn't wait to sleep normally. It was so wonderful when I could FINALLY lie down properly!

You'll get there too, m'dear... you must have patience.
