2.30 and I am awake pondering my weekend. Thankfully the panic continues to lift slowly. I have the pit of my stomach feeling (as if I am about to take a nasty exam) but the out of control bit has gone. This is good for Paul as it means I can be left on my own for short periods of time. The pain is nearly controlled without any extra morphine than the slow release and paracetamol which means that I am not too foggy. I can't stand for very long which means outings are tricky unless I use the wheelchair but at least we have it. I now need to do some basic exercises to get my muscles moving - 3 weeks of mostly lying in bed is very bad for muscles!
Ben left on Saturday leaving our house looking like a crime scene. He had managed to spread his belongings he wasn't taking everywhere! We have heard he arrived safely and that he likes his bed apart from that I have no details ! Hopefully he might ring today and he will be bringing the car back soon. It is very quiet here - Paul has offered to stand in his room at regular intervals and play music, sing or generally chatter away to friends in a loud voice!
Chloe and Ed decided that I would need cheering up so they came back on Saturday for tea and stayed the night before returning to London for a birthday lunch for their best man. It was so lovely to see them and helped with the quietness here.
Josh and Debs came and helped Ben pack the car on Saturday before heading off to Wembley Stadium for a tour. I am looking forward to hearing about that on Tuesday when Josh comes to tea.
On Sunday Mark and his girls came for a visit after going to Coral Reef for a swim. For those who may not know Ben has a pet snake called Bobo. Obviously he couldn't take him to uni and was going to leave him here which would have been fine but we wouldn't have been getting him out lots and his life would have been quite boring. So we were delighted when my niece asked if she could look after
him while he was at uni. This was a wonderful solution. My niece is really excited having wanted a snake for a long while, we are delighted because he will be cared for and Bobo is very happy because he will have an exciting life.
I am now starting to plan the next few weeks. If you have some time I would love to see you for coffee/tea. All my appointments come with the warning that I may have to cancel them if I become poorlier. I am not driving at the moment due to settling on the morphine so mostly I need people to come to me. I also have many needs for taking to the hospital for blood tests ( be aware that is a whole morning activity) and to the GPs - usually quicker but no guarantee. I will also need taking to hospital for scans and injections soon too. I am a busy bee!
I am looking forward to sorting out all my craft projects and getting on with those this week. Kitty bought me a beautiful book full of projects that I would like to make so when we have the car back and Paul has some spare time I am sure we will be found in Hobbycraft buying all the bits and pieces. If I get around to it today I will take some photos of the penguins I have been making recently both from felting and knitting. They are very cute.
I hope your week is not too busy and also includes time to stop and watch the beauty of our world as it changes it's colours for Autumn. Don't take a day forgranted - appreciate all that you have been given. Who knows what the future holds?
