Wash day so up at 8. Today I noticed my ankle felt for the first time since before the fall like it was "mine" that might sound weird but I can't describe it any other way. It just felt like the structure of the metal implants had finally been accepted by the rest of my foot/leg. Yes there is still a little tightness around the muscles but, nowhere near as much as before.
I've managed 20 mins on the bike and 30 mins on 36 on the revitive. I did my set of exercises and I can feel that I am starting to feel more balanced, and less weeble like.
I made some more Memorydex cards today using tropical ephemera from one of the paper pads I had in my stash.
I also did my pages in my dyalog and I made some Halloween cards because my card bases had come from Amazon.
We went into the village to Heron, Kev pushed me there and back, I did consider walking some of the way, but decided it was too far and I didn't want to overdo it and possibly not manage, or even worse do some damage. It's only just over four months since the accident and looking at other blog posts and articles on line I'm doing great even by normal standards. To add in the limitations from my disability too, I'm doing very well.
We watched another couple of episodes of The Midwitch Cuckoo's. It wasn't until I noticed the author of the book it's based on that the penny dropped why I thought I'd seen a similar plot... Village of the Damned! By John Wyndham... He of Day of the Triffids fame. Sometimes my brain registers details of movies and books and stores them, and then sort of teases me with familiar snippets until the penny drops.At least its upped the pace now and I'm enjoying it...
Ahhh! Another Midwitch Cuckoo fan. I was left feeling a little disappointed I thought the ending was rushed and they COULD have done so much more with the plot which as you say is a take off of The village of the dammed.
ReplyDeleteBut hey so pleased you seem on the mend and indeed take things a little easy its so tempting to want to run after such a long time recovering xxx
