Some progress here, managed a little sleep, but am really struggling with this sleeping on your back malarkey. Am getting pain under control, just a question of juggling all the pills and potions to find a combination that works, and then fitting in the exercises at the times you have best pain control. Concentration span of a gnat at the moment, so reading is a problem, but overall I think progress is being made.
Thank you all for the good wishes, they really do help motivate you.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ glad progress is being made @punkdoc 😊 … sleeping on your back is so hard if it’s not what you do.
Son has to go to Broomfield again today to see the OTs and collect some more pressure garments to wear over his grafts … he says I’m not needed … he’s going to drive himself!!! I have the day off 😃 it doesn’t seem five minutes since he was so poorly and you were holding our hands explaining what the doctors were doing etc. 🙏 In no time at all you’ll be gambolling around like a spring lamb 😉
Good morning everyone, phew we can talk about the Tennis at last. We were exhausted by the end too. Intermittent showers yesterday but not enough to be any use. I noticed on the plots on Saturday, in spite of the rain on Friday, the soil was just nicely damp.
Glad things are improving @punkdoc having been sent home so quickly I guess you would normally have still been in until today at least, so think of this as the real start of your recovery, proper.
Sleeping on his back is the thing that OH found the hardest. It will all be worth it in the end @punkdoc.
Hello from Eastbourne. The drive here was a bit long yesterday as the A 21 was closed. We almost came to blows. The Tom Tom didn't know about the closed road, the strident voice on the phone did know, but OH thought he knew a better way so they all gave conflicting advice. I was driving as OH isn't allowed to drive a French car in the UK. Daft rule. We switched off the Tom Tom, then the phone, then OH was late with instructions and said the phone had sent us by a route he didn't know after all. I hadn't a clue where we were and I was bursting for a wee.
Today we are going to lunch with my cousin in Lewes. Tuesday we take the ferry.
There was a howling gale in Norfolk, I even felt it rock the car on the drive here, my car is usually pretty stable in wind. I've read that a couple of local villages had been without electricity. Luckily ours wasn't and the wind has been calming down. I hope it's OK for the Channel crossing on Tuesday.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Oo-er @Busy-Lizzie - that was a bit of a nightmare! It's amazing how quickly panic sets in when you think you are lost! I can get quite snappy with my OH in the car under those circumstances too.

I was exhausted from just watching … 🛌 🥱
Night night all … hope @punkdoc gets some sleep 💤

Woken by back pain. I hope you are asleep especially punkdoc.
