When I woke this morning I felt a good deal stronger than the day before which was a great start, I got up, emptied my “bag” and did the rest of my bathroom jobs as it were, I am still a little bit wobbly when I first get out of bed, I think that is as much to do with my back as any thing else but definitely felt stronger.
Today would be a day of communication, I wanted to call my Aunt and Uncle in Yorkshire, we had a FaceTime appointment with my Brother and Sister in law booked for 10 am and a list of other people who we thought it would be nice to check in with.
The weather outside looked lovely and it disappoints me that I can’t go out in it but I am assured that bed rest is required for swift healing and with Denise policing it there was little point in even mentioning it at this stage. I am so looking forward to getting my drains and stuff out on Tuesday, it will hopefully give me much more independence and more movement, I’m also hoping that in removing the packing I will be able to sit down without feeling there is a cricket ball being forced between my legs, I guess time will tell! I’m thinking that it probably won’t be a pleasant experience any of it but it’s all part of the journey and we are on the downward slope now so all is good.
The day of communication went on well into the night with Skype or similar calls to lots of people, some planned and some not but all very enjoyable, interspace with some small sleeps and some time to eat that was the order of the day. Once again I am humbled by the number of people contacting me through the various mediums all wishing me well and a speedy recovery, thank you all of you xxx
