With (considerable) help from J, I moved back to my apartment today.
I had a little anxiety - I have been watched over for the last seven weeks, never out of earshot of someone if I needed help - and this ends that.
Still, it seems natural, and I feel ready. I think it is time. I think it is about time.
Although I have done my best to not be an intrusion and a distraction to J and Melissa, I know I have been, at best, a bit of a distraction. They totally knew what they signed up for, and were happy to do it, but I have to keep in mind that I must not have them do for me what I can do for myself.
Right now, that includes everything - I can do everything I need to, except lift things that weigh more than ten pounds. Effectively, that means I must do smaller loads of laundry and shop more frequently, dividing up my groceries among many bags, and, if needed, making more trips to bring them in.

So, with J's help I loaded up the car with all the clothes, toiletries, medicine and devices, did some grocery shopping (distributing my purchases among four bags), called J so he knew the timing of meeting me at my apartment, and went home.
I got there first (I was closer), and started bringing up the groceries, as there were items for the freezer and the refrigerator. I made four up-and-down-the-stairs trips by the time J arrived, and listened to him admonish me for not waiting. But I felt fine, and was happy for the exercise.
J brought up all the stuff from the house in a cart - yes, that meant he could have brought all the groceries in one trip, but, like I said, I'm happy to have gotten the exercise.
And that was it for me. I watched TV, I did my end-of-week portfolio update, I had some phone conversations, and went to bed. My old, familiar bed.
I'm grateful for my life, and glad to be back home.
