Fresh air

Day 26 of relative inactivity.
I woke early again today but having taken my small dose of codeine I was simply relieved that my broken body wasn’t hurting.
Up at 6 for a warm drink and a chat with Auntie who had been up since 5.
Breakfast of fruit and yogurt at 7:30 before waiting for my first carer to arrive and assist with a shower. All done including a clean shave by 11 am.
I called the local OT to ask about physiotherapy going forward. She agreed that I could go out for a short walk, heel toe, not too far and focus on keeping good posture.
A visit from good friend Paul closely followed by 2 friends from the church I accompany auntie to. After cups of tea and plenty of conversation Paul accompanied me on my first walk outdoors and in spring like conditions. My word it did lift my heart, a wren rejoicing constantly, blackbirds foraging and the usual corvids and gulls wheeling around above us.
After a lunch of remnants from the Sunday lunch. E one of auntie’s enablers ran the hair clippers over my straggly hair which made me feel better.
Tried to contact my consultants secretary to discuss specific physio, answer phone message left.
Also set up a phone appointment with a specialist solicitor for Friday afternoon to discuss a potential personal injury claim.
M&S Soup and crusty sourdough bread for tea before trying to relax whilst auntie had fun with the tv remote hopping from channel to channel.
Today’s blip is the best I could do with my limited range of flexibility, taken in the back garden nearing the end of my endurance walk earlier.
