THURSDAY - Was up at 05.00 a.m again but did go to back earlier than when I am working so I am getting more hours sleep specially as i am sleeping raised up on my back is not the easiest way to sleep for me so not complaining .
Still in some discomfort getting in and out of bed is awkward and I am careful when pulling myself upright , putting socks on is also done under extreme caution coughing is still a major issue and is one of the things that is painful to do so I try and avoid it at all cost so is coughing to clear my lungs is done as and when and in stages .Getting out of breath when walking is weird it just happens it can happen on longest walks , short walks or even just going upstairs .Reaching for items stored in cupboards in bathroom and kitchen I have to move slowly and raise my self on tip toes instead of over reaching , you soon adapt and learn new ways of doing things .Walking the dogs I go out with Helen and we take one dog each so it is doable .The days are long usually 18 hours before returning to bed .Recovering is a slow progress with some days maybe no progress .
I can vacuum with caution and cooking is not a issue if I don't require items from the lower cabinets specially if things are at the back in the corner of the cabinet .Showering and toilet are ok hardest thing is getting in and out as the shower is over the end of the bath and not a walk in one .Driving still ok getting in and out and parking so I can get out easier I try and do getting in and out is easier also if I push the drivers chair back to it farthest position got to still be careful going over speed bumps awkward angled junctions and breaking too hard holding the steering wheel does support me as does the car seat with its lumber and side support .
