At that point, they should lift the ban on lifting more than
10 lbs and they should lift the ban on bending forward too far. They should
also verify the next surgery will be on the 14th of January.
That said, I will have two weeks to get some good stuff
done.
I really, really, REALLY must, MUST defrost my upright
freezer. The ice hangs down; the ice builds upwards. No stalactites or
stalagmites are present but I can’t figure out why because every other ice
formation is in there. I couldn’t do this during the ban because it requires carrying
heavy pot after pot of boiling water from one room to the other. It also
involves low bending to deal with the newspaper on the floor (for water
seepage) and cleaning it after it’s done - you all know the drill.
The other thing that requires either more than 10 lbs of
lift or bending forward all the way is my now-deceased nephew’s bedroom. That
is the warmest room in this old mobile home. Both my Silkie (my plus-size 3-1/2
yr old shelter kitty) and I would love to sleep in that big bed together during
this winter.
However, a few months ago I began using his nice big bed as a
staging/collection area. I have a box for Safe Nest, a box for the next yard
sale, and other piles and boxes. I have a heavy old printer that needs to be
either recycled or dumped or given to someone who might be able to fix it. So,
I really, really, really need to clear the stuff off that bed and put some nice
fresh linens on it, and be warmer at night than I am now. My own bedroom is the
master, and it’s very drafty. Hopefully, by this time next winter, I can swap
out the beds and also de-draftify (my own word - sorry) that room.
So I’m looking forward to looking backward to having
accomplished both those tasks when they are done.
