3 weeks Progress

I have been slightly slack on keeping this up to date in the last week, several reasons really. My parents internet is being a bit temporamental, I have also been doing slightly more during the days, which while that is good takes so much out of me that it takes me about 24 hours to recover and even the effort of typing seems too much!

So I went swimming for the 3rd time today which was lovely. I love being in the water so much, it is the only place where I am really comfortable and all the pressure is taken off my pelvis. This time I also managed to swim 4 lengths frontcrawl (arms only - just let my legs drag in the water), the 2 previous times have only managed about 1/2 length before the rolling of my body was too much. The local pool is great, there is a ramp and a plastic wheelchair so getting in and out is really easy.

It is quite stressful at home (with my parents) at times because they are having lots of building work being done and there just keeps being one major set back after another, and with all the noise and everything it is sometimes not that restful.

I am still waking up at night in quite a lot of pain, bizarrely the pain has almost been worse in the last few days than previously - maybe I am just too keen to get better, or I am just so fed up of being in pain my tolerance for it is decreasing.

I also had a manicure this morning which was great. I normally have to keep my nails short for work and never can wear nail varnish, but now not working my nails are growing so decided to do something nice about it. Weird seeing my hands with pink nail varnish though.

I have made it through series 1 of 24 and just about to start season2, also my sister bought me season 1 of house so have started watching that too which is really good - Hugh Laurie is so talented.

I am so pleased that I do not have to go through this whole thing again, I think that is what was so hard last time - knowing that I had to go through it all again thank goodness I don't have a third hip!

Well back to the TV for a while until chinese food for dinner - yum
