An update

Howdy all,

I just thought I'd give you a current update on how I'm travelling. All seems to be going well. My scars are healing nicely even though they still look a bit gruesome. I'm walking straight again which is marvellous as my back wasn't coping under the strain too well. I'm still in trackies which is starting to become a little boring.

I had my first outing this week when my aunts took me out to lunch. It was quite exciting just to get out of the house. I was very excited at the prospect of wearing earrings! I also went and had a walk around the shopping centre yesterday. I lasted 20 mins before being totally exhausted and had to come home. But baby steps are being taken.

I'm trying to walk a little bit everyday just to build up my strength. I'm still in a bit of pain moving but it's bearable. Except for the fact I still can't lie on my side. I have this horrible feeling that by the end of all of this I won't be able to lie on my side because I'll be so use to not being able to.

I'm in relatively good spirits apart from wanting the healing process to be much faster and I'm really over endless cooking shows and day time telly. I'm looking forward to heading back to work late next week just to get my brain firing again.
