Apr. 8th, 2015 10:02 amIt's almost 10:00, and Cordelia isn't awake yet. I'm a little bit worried about that since she usually doesn't sleep past 8:00, but it's probably just adolescence creeping in and making her want to sleep later. It's inconvenient for me because it means I haven't gotten my coffee yet and won't until she does get up. I was going to stay in bed until I heard her get up, but I got a phishing phone call and found myself too awake to stay in bed. I also forgot my cell phone in the bedroom. Hopefully, that can wait until Cordelia's up. I have had my morning meds, and I put a banana and some triscuits into my carrying bag on my walker, so I have some breakfast available.
Scott's scheduled to go in to work early tomorrow and Saturday. That mainly means, for me, that I can't take a bath tonight because there won't be time to do it while Scott's still up. I can't get out of the tub on my own. Hopefully, we can fit it in tomorrow.
Scott's going to try to get Monday off to take me to my orthopedics appointment. I would like that, especially given the trouble I had getting in and out of the cab coming home from my last appointment. I had an appointment with my psychiatrist next Tuesday, but I've rescheduled that until early May because I'm not entirely optimistic about being able to walk enough to get to the psychiatrist's office. There are a fair number of stairs involved.
We stayed up late last night to watch Agents of SHIELD after Cordelia was done with The Voice. I wouldn't have minded waiting until Thursday, but Scott's really into the show, and he felt he had to see it as soon as possible. I think he also resents Cordelia monopolizing the TV during his very limited down time.
Sleeping is still difficult because of the challenges of keeping my foot and ankle comfortable. I keep tensing up and/or stretching while mostly asleep and ending up in agony. I also can't seem to keep the sheet tucked in at the end of the bed, so it bunches up around my feet. Kicking to spread that out hurts a lot. I'd really like a way to keep my foot more or less at a right angle to my leg all night. Wearing the boot to bed isn't a good option because it's huge and heavy and would make sleeping very, very difficult.
One of Cordelia's friends is planning to do that volleyball camp that they did last year again this year. I don't think Cordelia will want to go. She complained about it pretty much non-stop last year. There were too many drills for her taste and not enough actual playing. Her friend also wants to stay in the dorms (the camp is at a local college), and I don't think Cordelia would be up for that, not when we likely wouldn't let her take her iPad mini.
Speaking of Cordelia's iPad mini, that's been acting up. It shuts itself down at random moments while she's using it. Scott tried reseting it to its factory settings, and that didn't help. We have no idea what's going on. She uses that iPad for a lot of things, every day, so losing it is a really big deal.
