Day 50 of 74

Today I had my first shower in 7 weeks. It felt fantastic!
It wasn't easy to step in the shower and felt almost impossible to get out because you need to lift and drop the legs in one step, something that in normal circumstances wouldn't be a problem at all.
Luckily Richard had the brilliant idea of using the wheelchair so that I could back out of the shower by sitting into the chair.

Ricardo has been here a week and has looked after me while Adrian was up in Leeds.
I wore him out! Poor [livejournal.com profile] bazanges! LOL



Today Sheila should have come for tea but unfortunately she wasn't well.
Adrian tried some new recipes: a plum and pine nut loaf, and white chocolate and limoncello tarts. There were both wonderful!

At the hospital on Thursday they adjusted my knee brace to bend at 60 degrees but due to the swelling I think I can only manage about 30 but it should be enough to be able to sit at the table for a while.
I'm going to try to work from home from tomorrow, probably alternating between sitting at the table and sitting in my armchair. I am not looking forward to the stress but well I have to start sooner or later!
