Living in southern Indiana as an immigrant from Tennessee, I have never been considered a "true Hoosier". We are about 2 hours away from Brown County (Nashville) and have always heard about what a nice place it was to visit, but in 24 years, had never been there for more than an hour or so when passing through. So when the opportunity came up for an unplanned long July 4th weekend, we decided to take the RV up and see what was there. Making late reservations and wanting a full-service site, we ended up at Westward Ho. KOA and Brown County State Park did not have sites available for the time period and with the services we wanted. The park, while along a noisy road, is adequate for us. We had a nice roomy site under a tree with room to park our car. Also, there was plenty of grass to walk our dog (she especially liked walks around the lake and listening to the bullfrogs). While the traffic from the main road was a little noisy outside, inside was quiet with no noisy camper...

My internal alarm still goes off between 4:30 and 5:00. Thankfully, the internal snooze still works. Up, in the chair, hot coffee in the cup. The 'workstation' Gena set up for me (it's actually a 'Try to Keep me Sane Station') is phenomenal. Without having to get up, I have access to my computer, Blackberry, Bible, books, snacks, drinks, iPod w/ headphones, medications, remote controls, movies (thanks Mortons), and blankets. Within a short hop/skip/jump, I have every piece of Durable Medical Equipment a good nursing home needs. I don't have to leave the bedroom. This recovery may take a lot longer than expected ;-)
Update 2-25-2010
I had a friend today tell me they had enjoyed reading my blogs recently. Gena told them that I don't blog since I came off the Percocet last week, so I thought I should at least try to prove her wrong. Also, Gena told her to keep in mind that most of the blogs were written under the influence of pain meds or anesthesia and I should not be held accountable for everything posted. Well.... some of that may be true. But, here is an update. I went back to work a few hours at a time last week. I have been increasing the amount of time at work every day. However, I have found that my fatigue increases significantly after 4-5 hours. About 6 hours into the day, I can barely function. I think part of that is due to the extra effort required for doing the most basic things. It takes me 10 minutes to change from sweats (my only option in clothing until the splint comes off) into pajamas. It takes 5-7 minutes to brush my teeth. It takes a long, long time to get to the bathroom and return. I...
