I thought you might like to see an account of my day today as part of my recovery!!
I did my basic exercises this morning and, instead of going walking, went across the road to a younger neighbours house for a party. We knew some of the people there but not all. I bought a cushion with me and found a chair that, with the cushion was just about ok.
However I spent most of the party standing up in my crutches and sat down once the bbq Was ready. People were great about bringing me food and nice red wine. I did drink about 1/2 bottle over three hours. Which is more than I have had in one session over the past 2 months.
Wings and Wheels was taking place about 3 miles away so we had a lovely display of Red Arrows at around 4pm. And the conversations were “interrupted” by a succession of interesting planes although sadly no Vulcan.
By 6pm i was tiring and needed my next set of pills so my hubby came with me back to the house to make sure I was safe. This involved negotiating the neighbours gravelled drive and cracked paving stones, toddlers and various other obstacles .
I took my pills (no morphine) and got into bed as my ankle needed icing as very swollen from all the standing. Next minute I was out like a light. Hubby woke me at 8pm as he was home getting some fireworks for the party which was roaring on across the road . After “Armageddon” for 10 mins I went to sleep until 11pm and woke up feeling very groggy and achy. And Realised I had missed my 10pm pills.
Called hubby who escaped the karaoke session just in time. At my request he cooked me baked beans in toast with a cup of tea, which was all I wanted. Now in bed again with ice on my hip.
I never realised socialising especially with new friends was such hard work! But good fun.
Maybe I will make the kareoke next time.!!
Planing to take it easy tomorrow. Night everyone.
