So far so slow

Yesterday I made morning coffee for my husband. That felt nice and a little normal. Today I did it again and then explained to my husband that it's ok to put laundry in the washer before yo go to work. You can change it out when you get home. That made me feel even a little better.now I still have litter boxes to move around and vacuum the house. Mopping too. But the house is getting there. I feel bad that I can't do much yet. I so badly want to get back to doing lots of stuff I was doing nearly four months again.i miss cleaning my house.

Morning Ruby

Even climbing Everest means you have to take small steps to start with.

Progress!!

Confucius said a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Keep up the good work. Some more husband training would not go amiss either.

Lol I'm only retraining my hubby. I'm his fourth wife one wife was a gold digger, one was a hypocondriac, and one didn't stay very long after he joined the military. He is getting the hang of it. He still has to learn on his own and the good old I told you so makes him mumble under his breath and makes me smile.

The house work will keep. It only returns anyway whether you do it or not! Husband training is very tiring too! Keep up the good work. Wendyb

I've read that it takes anwhere from 3 months to 6 months to get back to your former self. I too am in recovery and doing things around so slowly it maddens me.

If I may ask, what are you recovering from? I have been through so much I told my husband that I'm at a point where death needs to go ahead and kill me or just stop toying with me. It gave everyone one a chuckle but they understand that I have had 5 ablations ones AV node ablation. Been through three types of medication and finally a sympatectomy. Of which I have no really good information on. So I'm going to March through this mess alone. I still have just one option left and I don't know what they call the surgery but it's similar to what I just had done to my left shoulder except it's on the right. However after my appointment this morning I'm happy to say my brain took the information well and we will go from here. I see my actual doctor on the 24th so I'm curious to know what he has to say. But today really did brighten my day. Perhaps I can do the same for you. Just reply or message me. I'm very happy to talk to anyone since this is all I have to turn to other than my husband and sleep. Many hugs and love. Just message me if you eat to talk or question.
