The long dark tea-time of the soul.

Wednesday. 

Wash day. And Physio at home day. The nurse came at just gone half ten to check my progress. She was very pleased, she got me doing strength tests and balance checks, both were good enough for her to see I'm trying to improve slightly each day. She gave me a new set of exercises to add to my others as my thigh muscles need a bit of a workout as they've lost some strength due to being quite immobile for a while. Luckily we had the resistance bands from when we used to do the exercise class over at the centre, which she said will help do that. She will also pass on my progress and other info on to the gp as they are still not getting the up to date picture of the pace and place I'm at in my recovery. She said it will be at least another two months before I'm walking outside even with a walker as this was a complex break made even more complex with my existing disability. The problem is because the phone appointments with the doctor are just conversations they aren't up to speed on how slow this process is in this instance. Most people would up and moving fully by now, but I will need  extra time to regain my mobility to the range it was before. 

After she had gone I did another round of the exercises she had given me and Kev went to the village. Not for much, but now the corner shop isn't as good he is refusing to use it as he used to and prefers to get stuff from the precinct. 

I did manage to do my dyalog pages, and prep a couple of others. 

Later on I watched the BBC 2 book programme "Between the Covers" I do like watching it but it isn't very often they bring anything that grabs me enough to do more than check it out on Amazon. Tonight however, that Vicar from Gogglebox Kate was on and she bought one along called The Five. It grabbed my attention straight away because its about Jack the Ripper. So a quick look on Amazon and I ordered it. Unusually it was cheaper in paperback rather than kindle, so I've ordered an actual book! It should come tomorrow... So that's my weekend while Kev is at work sorted then!
