I’m the mean Mama today. Hey, sometimes you just have to be. I’ve got the kids doing lots of chores today, outside of their rooms. They aren’t complaining much, but Ive gotten a few eye rolls. 😜

I kicked my crutches today for a little bit and was able to get a good amount of things done in my air cast (Landry, my bed, and I cleaned out the fridge from leftovers etc). Nothing too big, but I had Norah Harper do some light dusting and vacuuming and walked her through putting dinner in the crock pot. Gage took out trash from bathrooms and kitchen and I had him change the dogs bowls and strip their beds. They no y watered the plants and did some things for me outside. I need them right now.

I’ve started doing nerve glides and some other PT exercises that have helped me a lot too. Most of the situations I’ve read about from people with injuries that are similar to mine say it’s almost a full 12 weeks of recovery. I’m glad to know that bc at 5 weeks I’m frustrated that it hasn’t improved more. It’s just a very slow healing thing. I’m trying to find a balance of doing enough but not too much.

The good thing is, the kids are good at picking up after themselves, and I’ve still gotten to enjoy laying out and swimming and that’s my ultimate happy place! 🤍🤍🤍 Lots to be thankful for!
