    I took a shower today -- what a wonderful invention the shower is! I now have a "shower collar" and a "dry collar" I survived on Advil today -- makes me less foggy than the hydorcodone/apap. I'll take that at night -- knocks me right out.

    Tomorrow I may try a short walk. Maybe around the backyard.

    Yay, Snap! Showers after you cannot have one are the ULTIMATE indulgence. You probably feel much more human now! I'm glad all has gone well. Take it easy and start to heal now.

    I'm having a heck of a time sleeping. I can't get comfy in bed, so last night I tried the recliner. I may order some kind of wedge pillow for my bed, I just can't figure out which one.

    I have people from work that want to visit. I need to tell them politely no. I really am not up to human contact right now.

    I love the Queen Elizabeth collar thing for Haloween. Though, ham slices may not be it. In any case, I've always thought those things need some decoration.

    Sorry to see you're in a collar, but you will feel better at the end of all this. (That's an order) :stern face:

    Hey there, Snap! Good to hear you're on the mend, starting with fingertips. It'll work it's way up to the neck in time. The collar is only temporary. Just think about those poor women who stack brass rings on their necks and have to wear them all their lives You'll be able to show true sympathy to them now. And I second the recliner and/or wedge idea. Both work for me in certain discomfort-caused sleeplessness situations -- bronchitis, asthma, Crohns cramps, and (most relevant) neck and back pain.

    Hey Snap!

    Glad you are home and up and about! (But don't overdue it!)

    When you feel up to social interaction, let me know - I'd love to come visit!
    Keep calm and carry on...

    You take care Snap.

    Just do as you are told and everything should go well, mind you, that's the difficult bit.

    Snap- here is wishing you peace and quiet. Hoping that you will heal quickly. Sounds like your beginning to be a bit more mobile which I'm sure must be a relief. Showers are the best. There is nothing like feeling clean! Hope things contiune to go well for you. Maybe a trip to the mailbox or a short walk to the end of the block?

    Best Wishes,
    Red Rock

    I've been dying to go outside, it's been windy and rainy though. Once it's cleared and dried out a bit, I'll start walking around the neighborhood.

    My friend in Virginia sent me the prettiest little tea roses. Red, white, orange, and pink. I've got them on the cabinet in front of my recliner/bed so I can look at them.
