544p it's cold in my room and I'm feeling a bit lonely.   Miss my family.  Brief interaction with nurses is better than nothing.  Guess this be a tiny glimpse of how people say the long game of LL is mental.

Aww they brought a double order again (dinner). So they took the breakfast request to heart.  I had to turn it away though i couldn't eat both, not very hungry.

When my family leaves i definitely need to figure out some system for regular social interaction.  I'm an introvert and terrible at social interaction but I'll probably love it for the first time in my life.

Mm it's really good piping hot turkey with gravy and green beans and potatoes. Should have taken it

635p toradol

940p read a friends tough day and i probably should be working harder.   Use the ice packs more even though they a little uncomfortable and do the spirometer more.  With bed PT, washing up, spirometer, ice pack, and take-breaks-on-side-to-relieve-butt-pressure, it actually makes for a fairly occupied day.  I mean, you wont feel unproductive.  And i spend less time scrolling on phone and don't have the capacity for video games.   My brain doesn't want to think and calculate. So my neck is healthier.

Did bed PT 3x

3mg melatonin 1159p

DAY 3:

Toradol 1230a

545a pain in legs while sleeping. Level 3.  Got Tylenol at 6a.

Sensation returned to left thigh.

So pain wasn't issue at night.  Sleeping was a little hard wasn't able to sleep more than 15-30 minutes until starting around 2am.  But i get insomnia where i can't sleep until 2-4am once a week at home anyway.

Peeing continues to be good, only failed once and had to nap 15-30 min. to try again.

Being flat as a board while raising up upper body off the bed as much as possible continues to be good, for some reason tilting to one side will add help to this.  Even if the one buttock is touching bed i can still start, so i often just am one elbow on bed raising me up while full body stiffens out. Then once pee is going pretty good i raise up as much as possible so gravity will allow the last 15% of pee to flow out.  I can pee even if i have only 150 mL or so which is just giving a moderate have to pee sensation.

620a toradol should be soon and legs haven't bothered me. I decide to do bed PT now rather than go back to sleep, don't feel too tired.
