Three weeks post operation and going into my fourth week off work. While some people would love four weeks at home I can honestly say I’m bored. I’ve said before that I can’t do very much. There is a long list of chores I would be doing in normal circumstances – gardening, sorting out the loft, putting up my curtain poles, hanging pictures, cleaning the house (I’m a bit of a Monica) but I’m not allowed to do any of this. In fact physically, I CAN’T do any of this. My right side is pretty bad still (I can lift my arm to about shoulder height – but only if I push it) and in fact I’ve woken up today with a pain in my back where my muscle once was. I think everything is constricting. I remember this happening on the other side but not as badly. Anyway, I suppose I just have to keep going with my exercises and it will eventually loosen off.
Still not sleeping well but last night may have been down to the amazing light and water show we were given. I was watching the rain and within just a few minutes the road outside was transformed into a river. It was so hot and muggy but thankfully today is much cooler and fresher.
