Showered Victoriously.

abracanabraOne of the...techniques, not really a resolution, that I'm adopting is the notion of identifying one or two major goals per day and making that or those be the main focuses of the day until you can get them done--the idea being that if you get those done, then you can feel accomplished, even if there are other items outstanding.
Today's main goal was to straighten out the insurance info that the pharmacy needed (because prescription coverage is separate from regular insurance coverage), to make sure my swollen foot and pounding headache aren't anything dire, and to get more pain medication, because I ran through the stuff they gave me pretty quickly. And it's not like I'm feeling no pain. (I'm sad about that. I wish I wasn't.)
Yesterday's main goal was to shower (the first day it was approved). That was...way more complicated than you might think, beginning with the whole not being able to stand easily anymore. Or carry things to the shower. And having to unbandage my knee, and try to keep it dry (mostly unsuccessfully), and then bandage it back up. But I showered and washed my hair. Victoriously. There was a definite sense of accomplishment afterward.
And I've put up some post-surgery pictures on Flickr. Warning: they're somewhat bloody, but there's commentary and stuff.
