D arrived about an hour after the food was taken away, and as I described the dessert he just looked sad and said "jam roly poly," in a wistful tone, so I laughed and said I was sorry he'd missed out on the chance to have something he likes.
But you do need to consider the risks of banging things when getting up and down again at either end
Yeah, down is fine but up has been a problem for me. Luckily, another crip friend suggested putting a chair nearby if possible would mean the sitting down/standing up thing could happen without having to get on and off the floor, and that made me realize that MB's perching stool would be perfect for this.
My boss is incredibly cool about this kind of stuff (and yes I had the good stuff, possibly fentanyl but D and I were just saying last night we were both so tired and strung out by that stage that I think that's what I had and he thinks I didn't but neither of us is sure, lol). I'm more worried about how I'll cope mentally with so little external stimulus. Movies and books and podcasts are all well and good but have very severe limits to their helpfulness before things like that become counterproductive to my brain.
But thank you so much for reminding me about the drugs as something to deal with, that hadn't occurred to me and I appreciate it.

I'm betting jam roly-poly
