Fish sticks
Easy meal as I start to recover. Did not have the same sort of joy that I remember from childhood, but what does?
Sloppy Sammys
Able to make, able to eat with out to much spilling. Good Things.
Pasta
So this started as hey, when it comes down to I can used jarred sauce if I’m tired. Then, ooh Chelsa’s Focaccia, I can make bread sticks out of that. Then ooh Blue Gate has baby bronze fennel fronds, I can add that to a my pasta sauce. Then I saw some quark (Milton Creamery) and baguette (3 bean) at the Iowa Food Coop, I can make a creamy garlic bread (bread, garlic powder, quark, garlic powder, shredded parm).
Shannon loaded up the pasta pot with water and placed it on the stove for me. I was able to make a good sauce with a yellow onion, two red peppers, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and some Italian sausage. Seasoned with herbs, then right near the end, the baby bronze fennel fronds.
Creamy Sesame Noodles
I made this a bit earlier in the week, and when it comes down to it, I almost didn’t make it to carry my 10” saute pan and 3 packs of ramen with water to the sink (galley kitchen, it’s like turning and two steps). My left hand was not able to do its part, but I was able to drain the noodles and get things put together. I imagine this is entirely customizable, as I didn’t really measure anything, but used most of the suggested item.
I have time marked on my calendar 4 times a day to do my stretches and exercises, here I call it “Desk OT”. Other then missing one, when I was at in person occupational therapy, I have been able to keep up. Though Yesterday I slept a bit late and had things to do so some were with in an hour of each other. There is a lot of getting things back to as normal as possible. Things are becoming easier but there are other things where it has been frustrating (unable to press a thing with my left fingers). But for the most part things are going well. Shannon has been a huge help and benefit by changing my bandages, and helping me get ready. Over the course of this I have taken 5 days off. I have an upcoming doctor appointment, and 3 scheduled OT appointments.
I am a bit disappointed in my own management of bandages and wraps and things. As we went to pick up a few things after 9:PM. But we should be in pretty good place after Tuesday.
