First Few Days at Home

At home I settled into life on the couch with important things nearby for immediate access. TV remote, flashlight, water, glass, pen & paper, crutches within reach. A cleared pathway was made to the downstairs bathroom. Bathroom essentials were brought down to the laundry room for my daily sponge bath. Our bathroom is off the laundry room and the laundry room has a big sink so all this was very helpful.

My husband did a lot for me those first few days. We were still on Christmas break and so he had more time. I was on paid holiday until Jan 1st but had already planned on taking a vacation day on Jan 2nd, just to finish out the week. My total time off work during Christmas was going to be 12 days. With my injury it ended up being 19. I stayed home the week after the accident and went back to work Jan 12th.
