So today I made a breakthrough achievement - this was my first day without tears!!! That sounds so depressing, but it's true this whole process has so far been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster - much more so than I was expecting!
Today's post is dedicated to the boredom suffered in this recovery process. I have to keep my feet elevated, ideally above my heart, for the first three weeks, excluding short trips to the toilet and for meals. This essentially means lying down or sitting propped under cushions all day long. It can get quite sore, but it's also just boring - to the extent where I'm having dreams just about walking around - weird!
Things did feel like they were improving today. I'm still tired and lethargic, keep drifting off - but the pain has certainly reduced and I don't feel quite so terrified on my heel walking boots today. To such an extent that after a trip to the toilet this afternoon, I saw the back door was open and it was such a lovely day that I thought I'd stroll into the sunshine. It's only about 4 metres or so to the table in the garden but it was so nice with the sun on my face!! I don't think it's a great idea as the grass was pretty uneven and I did have to steady myself on one or two occasions, but it was heaven, even if just for two minutes. It's the little things getting me through 😊☀️🌳
