Exciting progress
We’re seeing some exciting progress around the house. It is making us think the end might really be in sight. I’m finding it weird. I go for a nap after breakfast and by the time I look around the house later in the day, lots of things are different. Doors are appearing where there weren’t doors. Doors are disappearing from where there were doors. To say it’s confusing is an understatement. I’m really hoping that in the next couple of weeks I’ll get my fences back and have more freedom again. To be fair, I’ve got much more freedom than I had already, so it’s not so bad.
Exercises
Mum has asked me to start going for extra walks to help make progress with my muscle building. It didn’t start well. I stumbled on my early walk yesterday and it made me feel a bit anxious. Mum walked at my pace after that and I took it easy. I didn’t really want to go out again later but Mum insisted. It is so hard to motivate yourself when it’s uncomfortable. Mum has emailed my consultant to ask if me starting hydrotherapy would be harmful to my back or if it simply wouldn’t help that. If it won’t actually do any harm she wants me to start swimming to help my front leg. I’m hoping I can as it won’t hurt so much as walking.
Helping with the cooking
One of the best things about not being on crate rest anymore is being able to help with the cooking. Oh, that and scrumping apples. Mum has to make some of her breakfast cereal today. That is one of my favourites. I love her toasted oats and she always drops some. As long as I’m patient I can get a whole serving before we’ve finished.
Love
