Ooh where’s yesterdays post gone!Thanks Mmp and Daisy 😊
Dh spent hours tying down the springs to reduce the height of the bed, and now it has a nice new mattress as is flat, hooray! Much more comfy 😬I’d like dh to go to the cinema today for a break, but I need someone on call to move me if I get stuck 😆 might see who’s around to help if I can, although ds1 went to a wedding yesterday so will be very hungover so probably no use. Starting it feel like my brain is slowly clicking back to normal, I can focus a bit more on things which is making me feel better. Dh has been great , not perfect with the housework but pretty good with everything 😊as ds2 said yesterday, you know he’s a bookbinder not a maid don’t you 😂 I asked him how long he is off work for and he said as long as it takes and if they don’t like it he will leave, no need for that I think but good to know he’s around for a bit, dil is around sometimes but they all work.Did a top up shop for fresh stuff yesterday click and collect and managed to forget bread/milk and bought lots of nice salad bits to have with houmous but forgot the houmous, perhaps my brain is still a bit away with the fairies after all!After so many nice treats being dropped off and my appetite returning, it’s time to start the healthy eating properly. Whatever I do now has to be stable food wise so no big changes to diet going forwards, hopefully the start of a l healthier new me 😊
Todays plans:
Wash hair
check finances
see if dh will go out
possibly see parents and or dd if they want to pop over
get dil to plant up the tomatoes and sit in the garden watching 😁MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁7 -

Well todays list didn’t go as planned, I’m back in hospital 😩 after a few hours of my heart rate getting worse they said come back in, hopefully it can be treated with medication for a month or so, this can happen but usually happens earlier in in recovery, I’m now on day eleven. No idea if this will be an extra bill or not but I’ve filled in more forms asking how it’s being paid for 🙄 fingers crossed I’m allowed home tomorrow.

Thanks guys 😊 I came out late yesterday, then after nearly completing the rush hour long drive back I realised they didn’t return my medication which was still locked in a drawer in the room, so dh got a train back while dad drove me home. Very bad on our part and theirs!I’ve new medication and had extra scans etc. to make sure it’s ok and so far so good, had another episode in hospital yesterday morning but nothing since, hopefully the medication will work and things will settle in the next few weeks so I won’t need anymore treatment.Today I’ve two appointments at the local hospital for blood clinic, a couple of hours apart 😩 I’ve borrowed a wheel chair as I will have to sit and it’s a nightmare there.Some funny news though, dil has planted up the tomato grow bags and commented she can’t the smell off her hands, later on dh goes in the garden and lovely neighbour and his dodgy friends who are clearly renting the log cabin in the garden are arguing. Apparently they want to smoke their weed with the door shut as there’s a horrid smell suddenly 😂 dodgy neighbour says no as his shed will smell. This has caused great hilarity in our house and we are now wondering how many grow bags we can fit in our garden 😄 it’s the petty victories sometimes 😬MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁7
