Today has felt like the longest day.
I should say that I’m not complaining but I don’t do lazy or correction, rest days easily.
Despite lying around reading a book, I do have spells of guilt but it passes pretty quickly.
I have had a lot of social interaction these last few days. I am in desperate need of a day of silence….
I literally had no idea what to do today. I didn’t wake up until 9.15am. That doesn’t happen often.
I feel like I’m in some exhausted slump. It doesn’t help that, between the progesterone, I slept like a log but I woke every time I moved my knee through the night.
I came downstairs and lay on the couch with the dogs curled up on me and at my feet.
With the other two just across the way.
The weather doesn’t help. It’s dismal today…. It’s rained all day and everything is wet and sodden looking, the dogs are soaked from being outside. They prefer to be inside.
I’m reading this back and I sound down in the dumps. I am actually not. I’ve had the loveliest of days, just not doing what I expected to be doing.
I’m using lots of my Christmas presents already….. I seem unable to live without my electric hot water bottle and I’ve been unable to put down Matthew Perry’s memoir… Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.
It’s such a fascinating read. I’ve been really drawn to his trouble with addiction, since he died this year. I wish I knew then what I know now. The poor guy never really stood a chance. He was great at helping others but just could not beat it himself.
Cookie the Chihuahua came to visit for a couple of hours as my in-laws had a funeral to attend. I got lots of Cookie cuddles!
Watch out Julie Five Dogs…. No Craig, just no… not ever!!! 😂😂 this is the best photo I got of them altogether.
Cookie who hates the rain went straight outside and didn’t seem to care.
Until Khaleesi did a big excited woof woof and she was off!!
Pretty girl.
I managed to get a call with a Doctor about my knee today and he asked to see them at 4.25. It’s actually been a lot less excruciating today… of course it has but I still need to get it checked as that was way too sore.
#breaksfordoctor 😆
So turns out that it’s just inflamed tendons around my knee causing the pain. Rest, ibuprofen and paracetamol are the answer with Physio booked for Friday 5th January.
I’ve had physio on my other knee and know that it hurts but also know that it does help!
I love this next one and I hope that I am able to help others after everything I have been through. I hope no one ever feels as bad as I felt for no real reason other than my head told me I wasn’t enough.
You can overcome that mountain too…. Or at the very least, make peace with it.
What on earth will we do tomorrow?!? 😂😂
Stay safe everyone 🎄🎅🏼🤶🏼
