Strange Happenings

Well... I have been stuck at home for the past week and a half!
But it being Mother's Day on Sunday got me the first outing in a trusty wheelchair (which Uncle Anthony had the honor of pushing- we were on the road for most of it as it was less bumpy than the footpath) and it felt like a child in a lolly shop... I was so excited and it was a lot of fun to get out of the house to have a meal and I admit I overstretched myself as I went to have hot chocolate as well... I was winded by the end of the night!

Physio on Monday was equally exciting outing wise (tragic but true!) and it felt good to be able to look at things from a sitting position.... It was exhausting working out at physio and am still attempting to learn to do the pelvic tilt properly... Not very good at that at all to say the least and it feels as if anything related to that motion is just about going down another path!

Showers are another highlight of the day! It is even more exciting when the notice for the stoppage of water is in worms and not circulated in all the letter boxes and is instead stuck on the notice board by the lift! So hey presto, I was happily starting my shower this morning and had just shampooed my hair... Tried to turn on the tap but there wasn't a drop of water! Yikes a head full of shampoo is not a good look even for me! So  had to resort to using the emergency bottle of mineral water to rise the shampoo out of my hair!

Wonder what is going to be next? Any ideas?

bed rest

I am officially on 2 weeks of bed rest! Have done 3 days already and it is driving me stir crazy! I am under house arrest and can't find a get out of jail free card or out of my restraining order... It is hard work to stay at home but I have not choice as I landed with a thump on my back over the weekend and fractured my T12 and L1... So rest and let the body heal is the order of the day.... 

All's well that ends well... Till next time....
