Slow Progress

It may be the same poppy from a few days ago but it has another meaning - it means I made it downstairs.  The poppy is just outside the front door, so it's not as if it was a great adventure but just to get to the front door felt like a huge achievement after yesterday.

I also managed a shower which was a great relief to me and all the other people in the house wearing pegs on their noses.

A new discovery was that a sneeze causes my hip to detonate, and given that I have a sneezing attack EVERY day, it's not fun.  Although if I can hold on to a bannister or a worksurface, that seems to lessen the pain.

And Sciatica Lesson Nr. 1 - your feet are miles away.  Try putting on socks as you get a series of shocks from your hip.  Getting dressed took ages.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
