Slowly slipping outside the box

Baby steps:


Made coffee this morning before thinking of opening the painkillers;
Managed to change the dressing on the arm solo;
The exit wound has, despite very clearly popping a stitch, finally started to heal, and while not weepless, has at least stopped bleeding properly;
Only taken one more dose of painkillers (okay, really starting to hurt now in fairness);
Have started 'almost' using the arm normally, before catching myself and realising I can't.


Need to get that turbo trainer set up so I can have 15 minutes and see how comfortable it is....
