yeah! first day out of the hospital. i actaully got to sleep in until 8:30am. no nurse coming in to wake me up and take my vital signs, or sleeping with one ear open listening for the next opportunity to hit the nurses button to check on my roommate that was too hot and getting a fever, or that she was not getting enough oxygen from her oxygen tubes or listening to her scream when they rolled her on her side to prevent bedsores because she had a broken hip. the month of march is finally coming to an end, and what an experience.
today at home, i was able to open the zip lock bag of lazy-man cheese. i was able to hold onto the bag with my left fingers while i unzipped to bag with my right hand. that was amazing, finally practical application at home. even michael said that he couldn't imagine what it feels like to be going through my journey as he has to patiently sit back and watch me struggle.
as of two days ago, on my left hand i am now able to touch my pinky and thumb together, ring finger and thumb, middle finger and thumb, and index finger and thumb. last week, i was not able to do this seemingly simple task.
we got a great gift in the mail yesterday. a "taste" of california. curtis sent via UPS some carne asada. so michael is going to BBQ tonight. he just brought in the first bite for me to taste.
off to dinner now...yummy!
