I took a dive today. My legs are very week due to the hospital stay, muscle loss, and also due to the drugs they give me for the sciatica. I was heading up the stairs and both legs gave out. I tumbled to the floor 2-3 stairs, hit my head on the wall and I think sprained a couple of toes. I am doing fine, no harm done, except for little loss of pride. It was earlier in the morning when it happened and Monica jumped out of bed very quickly to see what happened. Between Monica and Josh they could not get me up off the floor, so I had to crawl to the couch and I have been here ever since. The doctor says I need to eat lots of protein to get my muscle mass and strength back. Monica made monster cookies. (oatmeal, peanut butter, peanut m&m’s), not only do they have lots of protein, but they taste great. I may be sleeping on the couch tonight If I can’t make it up stairs.
