What a year…..
Can you believe it’s been an entire year since I made the sad decision to ‘temporarily’ close?
I’m so grateful for the improvements I have made, especially the last couple of months. Sadly, we’re still not able to commit to a date to opening.
For those who wish to know more…..
I still wake up every day feeling like I’ve pushed myself through a gym workout 🏋️ it’s not pleasant but it’s bearable now. It’s so much better than the months of pealing my body off the bed just to go to the toilet.
I get up every day and I’m making the most of the small amount of energy I do have.
Here are just some of the improvements
-Being upright - pretty much all day. Although I do rest after lunch for a couple hours and this is generally laid on the sofa watching a film or listening to an audio book.
-Steps - I can now walk a slow 1/2 mile with a walking stick (I get wobbly) . I only need my wheelchair if I am going further which means I can pop the shop or local cafe/restaurant to meet friends without it.
-My energy levels have increased from 3 to 5.5 hours a day which means I am able to do more than just get up and feed myself.
I have recently cooked some of my old LJ favourites- a pie 🥧 , cakes 🎂 , prawn toast, gyoza’s 🥟 and a pizza 🍕 . Which is great progress towards getting back to normal. I’m really hopeful that my recovery will continue and I’ll be back in the future!
