One week later

Ok, so one week has gone by so quickly since Bill's surgery.  We have realized some challenges:

  • Bill Showering.  He has, thankfully, but thanks to Mary-Frances for dropping off a shower chair!
  • Bill doing anything:  Putting dishes away, washing dishes, folding laundry (although I don't believe that one whatsoever) he has such a hard time balancing on his crutches that I need to do it all. 
  • Cooking:  Out of the question
  • Filling up his cooler with 7lbs of ice every 5 hours:  This is a huge challenge - the ice melts and becomes water that sloshes around, its a pain in the butt, and although I have been creative making ice, I can't use all homemade ice because of this suction thing in the cooler so I also have to buy ice (wow its expensive when you buy it all the time)
  • Going places:  Bill went to his fantasy baseball draft last Saturday, which was on a second floor. I'm happy he went, he is SO BORED and needs to get out, but then he fell asleep for many hours afterwards, it takes a lot out of him.
We're getting there!  Being the only shoveler of 9 inches of snow kinda sucked yesterday, but its what you gotta do.  I'm thrilled we're homeowners, don't get me wrong, but man there is a lot to shovel!  I'm glad our neighbors are nice enough to help us out.

Anyway, Columbia closed early yesterday due to the storm, and this happened:

That was dramatic!

All for now.....
