Another night of bubbling tummy, afraid to stretch my legs just in case. Every time I move my legs I feel like I have a toddler clinging to them for dear life. My back has spasms pulsating all over it and soon as you get comfy I need a wee!
After a very scary day yesterday I had some good moments last night. I actually managed to sit up for a bit and hold a conversation. My head was so sore Rob gave me a number one all over. Who’d have thought mere millimetres of hair would cause so much pain. My scalp is very red so think it’s getting close to falling out. Another step to recovery.
Listening to Rob giggle as he was shaving me was not leaving me with much confidence! Was nice to actually do something together, I know this is very hard on him and it’s starting to show. Think we’ve all aged this week.
This morning my sister text to say she was going to pop over. I literally cried. My sister really is my world. She’s everything a big sister should be. Bossy, annoying, always right, always there and she loves me unconditionally. She turned up with a packet of ginger nuts for my sickness!
Was so nice to have a chat, I cried, giggled got frustrated and had a cuddle. She’s the first person I’ve seen apart from Rob and the kiddies. I’ve decided I can have visitors as long as you’re germ free, you let yourself in and you come straight up and sit with me as I’m still better horizontal – armed with ginger nuts will be an added bonus!
Tomorrow I have a hospital appointment at 9 so I’m going to actually have to get dressed. This is probably a good thing as Rob’s not too good on keeping up with the washing and I’ve run out of clean nightshirts!
I am happy I’m feeling a bit better. The saying ‘a shadow of my former self’ is ringing very clear at the moment xx
