There's only so much you can do in a hospital room. Yes, I got the bike but it's useless. Can't adjust the length so I would have to sit at the edge of the seat to reach the pedals. And trying to pedal is a joke - it's so rough like it doesn't have a belt (hurkin & jerkin). That's not happening and it can't be removed from my room as it's contaminated. So for exercise, I pace back and forth across my room like a caged lion! Takes me 6 steps to cross the room. I do my "laps" several times a day for 30 - 45 minutes. It's a good thing I'm at the end of the hall or someone walking by would think I'm nuts. I'm not using the VCR but they do have their own movie channel. Unfortunately, the schedule they gave me is old and they don't have a current one. This would not be a problem if the movies started on the hour or so, but they start at various times. The food is actually pretty good and I have a five page menu to choose from with resturant quality. I didn't get much sleep last night because my pump alarm kept going off plus they had to come and take my vital signs every few hours. Not to mention the small bed and lack of a warm body by my side. My Geiger counter number went down to 47 and I had hoped it would be lower. They have to take the reading at least once more before they can determine how long I have to be in here. So far I'm feeling good but they said any side effects wouldn't appear for a few days. Keeping our fingers crossed!
Did you bring crayons in? You could write on the walls. Create a masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteAre there ruts in the floor where previous occupants have worn away a path?
It sounds like your room is about the size of my bedroom.
I watched The Rock the other day with Sean Connery he had some good break out techniques -
You can mark off one day off of the calendar, every day is one day closer to you getting better.
Even though you already ARE THE BEST!

Hi Judy-
ReplyDeleteI've got my fingers and toes crossed hoping you are spared some of the side effects. Sounds like the bike excersise is a bust. Perhaps you could go online and learn bike repair.
Glad your food is good! That's a plus.
Keep up the good work, take it easy, stay positive like you always are - this is all for the GOOD.
Oh - I got the job! (minor detail, there)
Love you,
Colleen
