Thanks all. Much appreciated. DS left around 9.30pm and let cat out after bringing him over for a quick stroke. He got home about 4 hours later bless him. He was amazing.
I will have at least a 3 weeks sick note from hospital. I had then booked a week off for Easter so likely to be off at least a month in practice.
Lovely to be home. Initially came straight to bed. An hour or 2 after DS left and some meds had kicked in went down and sat in recliner. Cat soon asked to be let back in so we had a gorgeous cuddle and I fed him lots of treats.
I've ordered some easy food to come hopefully after sis arrives if not will have to explain and request stuff is brought in.
Handyman coming later part of dual purpose plan of getting stuff done and having someone on hand if needed.
Friend coming tomorrow. Virtual counselling Thursday.
Temp spike overnight but hopefully that will settle. Heard 🦉🦉🦉 multiple times last night and the pre dawn chorus. Nice to be somewhere quieter.

Glad you're home and that your new views and peace are proving soothing! if the delivery arrives before your Sister then all you need to say is that you've just come out of hospital and you're not allowed to lift anything - they'll be very used to that and will be more than willing to help, I bet.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
