I think we managed fairly well so far dealing with my foot combined with DHs O2 stuff. We put our small Yeti(icechest) in the shower as a seat for me when I shower. My iceman is at the foot of our bed on my side. I hung a plastic grocery store bag on the window handle of the window near the iceman. The curtain rod of the window near the head of the bed has souvenir lanyard from our 2014 cruise hanging from it and I hang my eyeglasses from that. Bottled water for me on floor next to bed. Kleenex, lotion, phone, baby wipes, hairbrush above my pillow(lucky its a king sized bed). Casserole dishes and way too much kitchen stuff on my countertops as I cannot use my 2 step ladder. Bought Swiffer dusters beforehand. The challenge is to NOT roll over DHs O2 hose with my knee scooter😉
EEyz--sorry to read that you are feeling blue. Perhaps the weather is contributing to that? Hope you get out of your slump soon...

Sounds like you are doing a great job of creative problem solving while you heal. I often wonder how Mocha would have handled Mom's oxygen tube.
I don't think it's the weather that is getting to me, it's having one of my jobs taken from me and handed to little miss perfect while I'm relegated to the Childwatch room during Sunday morning. It's the fact that the guy who is supposed to work with me in the morning fails to show up half the time and when he does he's 15 to 30 minutes late and my boss is aware of this but does nothing. I understand that we work in a church and they are trying to show him grace but there comes a point where the other party is abusing that grace. Plus why should I be the one to suffer for it? When the offering of grace harms another is it truly grace? There is also the issue of the coworker who spends our recess time hanging out by the preschool fence chatting with her friends and holding the preschool kids instead of paying attention to the kids we have in K-3. Since she does this in front of my boss and nothing is said I guess I'm the one in the wrong for thinking its a problem.
I was angry this morning and made a post on Facebook that has apparently irked one of the pastors and he's demanding a meeting with me tomorrow. Whatever. I'm tired of being the good girl all the time and living my life to keep everybody else happy. I just do not care anymore. I am going to go to the workforce center to get help on my resume and interview skills, reach out the the alumni association at Metro for career services, and start my job hunt tomorrow.
I'm also pretty sure that the pastor is mad that I posted a video to the new song by Depeche Mode (a favorite band of mine) called "Where's the Revolution". It's pretty political and I didn't link it for the political thing, I linked it because it's the first song on the upcoming album by Depeche Mode and I can't wait for it to come out next month.
Sorry to hijack your thread.

That's OK. Marriage and work. When either one has problems it makes life so much more difficult. Wishing you a new job quickly!

Carolo,
Very good planning. You are managing well .
Kristen,
Facebook is tricky . I have to be careful what I post and what I "like" especially since the lady who adopted my cat Smokey (and is giving him a wonderful home) is on the opposite side with political parties and opinions. I don't want to ruffle her feathers as she sends me Smokey update pictures that mean so much me.
