Uni Box

 With some sense of normality I did a bit of a tidy, mindful not to lift anything too heavy but I felt quite satisfied by doing very normal things. It tired me out though and I spent a fair bit of the day on the sofa. 

I've kept up getting out each day. This has involved going to the Hub, Aldi, IKEA and pubs. At IKEA I was building up and almost completing the uni box for A. She's rather reluctant to acknowledge this right now, the nerves of the move showing. 

The day I was most looking forward to was getting my stitches out. All of these moments important steps on the recovery road. The broad idea that it will take 3 to 6 months until full recovery and this is hanging in my mind from the initial consultation in May. 

When I got in, the initial nurse had forgotten her glasses and was going to need help. She also had never seen stitching like it and so I was relieved the next nurse had and was pretty swift at getting it done. It certainly felt good to get the stuff one done and the pulling quickly went as it was taken out. I was happy BigA was with me and able to distract me a bit. 

I've had fewer visitors this week, a mix a people having jobs and going on holiday. Happily BigA hasn't been very busy with work and so he's been able to keep my company and drive us to various locations. The girls are around so I'm not ever really on my own. 

I do currently have a rare visitor - although she's made it to us significantly more than we've ever got to her - Maggie. We had a lovely afternoon and evening, even forcing her to play a game of Code Names. 

As you'd expect a gentle week.
