Bored and bald

My rotator cuff is repaired, along with some torn tendons of the bicep on my right arm. It all seems to have gone well and I was home by early afternoon on Tuesday, the day of the procedure. The nerve block wore off overnight but I had started the pain meds before bed and am staying on them religiously. I foresee my biggest problem as being boredom. I can't do much of anything with my right arm other than type with the arm supported by the desk. Even opening the pill bottles is difficult. I'm learning to do more and more with my left hand to the extent possible. 

I'm accustomed to being pretty busy, particularly lately, and I've never been good at doing nothing. Bailey has been my constant companion and she's sticking to me closely even though I'm not a lot of fun right now. I have set up camp in the guest room, splitting my time between the bed and the recliner that we moved upstairs (thanks, Paul!) When I'm in bed, Bailey presses herself up against my left side so I can't roll to the left. The sling device they have on my right arm and shoulder prevents me from moving to the right. My sleep schedule is off, but I did get a few hours of sleep last night between the bed and the recliner. 

I buzzed all the hair off my head before the surgery because I remember the difficulty I had washing my head in the shower after my initial injury back in January. I bought a cheap pair of faux Crocs that I can get on my feet without needing to use my hands or arms. I had prepared a couple of weeks worth of food last weekend too, so we really have everything I could think of to get through this as easily as possible. I was able to feed the dogs myself this morning, but of course I'm very lucky to have Clay to do everything that requires two hands around here.
