Hey Queenie,
Sorry about the typos and not getting back to you. It’s hard to text in a moving car (I also have essential tremors that make my already very poor handwriting totally illegible). Thank God for electronic medical records! My MA used to get calls all the time from pharmacies who couldn’t read my writing!
He has a Tesla with the “FSD” - full self driving. It’s not quite FSD - you have to hold the wheel and be able to respond immediately. I prefer the ‘old-fashioned’ type of driving, where I control the car!! My car does have components of this, with adaptive cruise, self parking (which I have never done!) and a bunch of other stuff that is now new. All on my older MB from 2012!!
Bless your heart - it’s bad enough when one of us can’t help the other, but for both to be down for the count at the same time - I have put you both on my prayer list. We are the same age. DH is 71, and I’m 69.
I enjoyed reading that your DH’s doc said he has a higher risk of paralysis from the initial injections! I remembered mine said that as well. I did remember the convo that the nerves grow back. Did your hubby stay pain-free until they grew back? At 71, MC won’t pay for his ablation? They already ‘pre-certed’ mine and because we have MC and a supplement, I don’t have to pay anything.
Hope you are feeling better. My BFF had her shoulder replaced ~9 mo ago. Her doc told her no laying in bed, go get a recliner. She went and bought one from Lazy Boy. They have a 10K sq foot house, so their MBR is massive. She said she loved the recliner because it was so much closer to the tv, that she could actually see it! I could not do that room - the room is so huge, I can barely see the tv, much less see what’s on it from their bed. There is a couch closer to the tv, but I can’t sit like that. I do what your hubby does. Lay on my back with a pillow under my knees, that I move all night when I turn side to side. I may get mad and rip off my CPAP nasal thingy, but that knee pillow moves with me!!
