It very quickly became apparent that Plan A (the active one involving doing lots of stuff) was not going to happen. It’s too cold and my back feels stiff.
Plan B (the one that involves salmon for tea and some moderate tidying) looks like the one to aim for.
I have others, going right down to Plan F – watch TV, think of a good excuse for when Julia comes home. Even I wouldn’t sink that low after she’s been working all day and I’ve been at home. Not until next week after the novelty of Mondays off has sunk in.
Yesterday was a notable day. My bowels returned to proper function. They have not distinguished themselves during my recent illness and I have been concerned. However, it’s not necessarily a subject for in depth conversation so I will leave it there.
It was also the first night when I have felt comfortable sleeping on my back. I had a much better sleep than usual, slept in too long and, as a consequence have the stiff back I already mentioned. It was good to get back to normal.
The first cough I recall was on the tram as I travelled to my knee X-Ray appointment. That was 14th December or thereabouts. It’s 15th January today, so that’s a full month from one end to the other of the illness. It’s been a long time, but having lost weight nd had some decent rest I have to admit I feel better than I did a month ago when I thought I was well. Strange how you need to become ill to get better.

Take care
Thank you. 🙂
It is good to learn that you are on the verge of improvement
Possibly on the edge of the verge . . . Let’s not overdo it.
Glad you are on the mend, Simon!
Getting better every day thank you. Actually feeling better than I was when I thought I was well in autumn, if that makes sense. 🙂
Sometimes perception of wellness is relative.
True. I’m feeling a little more frayed each day now I’m back at work. 🙂
A month is a lifetime!
It was beginning to seem that way.
I’m glad to hear the recycling systems are back online in helpful ways–we all knew they could do it!
Glad you are feeling better but what a long month it has been for you!
It seems so strange – I know 28 days soon go but the last 28 have lasted so long! 🙂
Time is like that.
That is true – elastic in so many random ways.
