No! ouch. No, PT told me no vacuuming etc. I got rid of the carpet and have tile now (but wish I had put in wood floors!)

It does take a new perspective. Not beating yourself up over it is a biggie. I consider it reorganizing utilization of energy. Downsizing helps. I don't have help now, so if I only get 4-5 hours on a good day... and the choice is cleaning house or going to the movies or....something else that replenishes my spirit... guess what I've learned to do?

I make sure the animals are taken care of, always.... and even that is not in the usual way (as in daily, neatly etc) I found out they don't mind at all and are quite flexible... too much water for one day or enough food out for 3 days is fine with them! (dog and bunny show here ) Caleb was bathed in the shower with me this morning... just gotta do things the way you can, and if you can't you can't!
