Dr D is obviously happy with how things are progressing. Although that tiny bit of the scar on my left side has still not healed completely. As such – a relax in the pool is still out of the question. (You know with the chlorine and, ahh – tinted bodily fluid….)
My next follow-up appointment is three weeks away. At first – I go into a bit of a tailspin – I’ve seen him & Andrea each week for the best part of the last three months. In hindsight – this is actually a bit of a milestone.
He’s giving my body and me, time to get back into the day-to-day routine.
I’ve graduated from handing my dirty plates to Paul, to washing up myself. I know it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but these most mundane of tasks haven’t really been on my ‘to-do list’ of late.
As it turns out taking the washing downstairs, loading up the machine, operating the dryer (okay my carbon footprint is on the increase – forget hanging clothes and linen outside for now!), folding and carting upstairs requires a mammoth amount of effort. In fact, it took almost an entire day (between sleep/rest) to get through just one load.
With a bit of help to lift pots and pans, I’m back to making dinner etc. One of the first meals attempted was a good old fashioned roast (enough of the pre-prepared, frozen & re-heated curries etc.) Thought you might like to see Paul’s creative ‘plating-up’.
What would the MasterChef judges think?!
