Week 3 - Day 1

Hello
I am still here, still recovering. Pain is now gone, apart from light internal bruising, but no more need for pain killers. I didn't take any for the last 3 days now and all is well. I feel more comfortable this way, because at least I have a better feeling of when I am overdoing it. I am back on light housework and walking just fine. But I still get a sleep attack in the afternoon. Body still healing and needing the extra hours. Especially, as my hormones are still a bit messed up and I have the odd night of insomnia and nightsweats. Oh the joys of getting older!!

I am really starting to go stir crazy now with sitting around at home. Daytime TV is driving me bonkers and I am ready to strangle Jeremy Kyle and please, everyone move to the country, but don't waffle on on TV about it. Sigh....Even my favourite TV shows now bore me to death. I don't think I have watched this much TV since I have been a teenager and my brain is turning to mush.

Still not able to sleep on my side, so I am still waking up with back ache every morning, but otherwise, moving around is getting much easier now. And I wake up in the morning with a near flat tummy!! It doesn't last long, swelling comes back within 15 minutes of getting up and having a shower, but at least I can see where things are going in the future. Still work needed to get a proper flat tummy and lose some weight, but I have to wait until I get the 6-week-all-clear.... and then I can start light exercise. Going back to swimming me thinks....

Sneeze attacks still scare me. But coughing is getting easier and the cold is nearly gone.

Not much else to tell - running out of things to say to people after being cooped up for so long. Time to hit the road next week and get out of the house.
