(no subject)
Yay! Had a shower with my dressing off. Things feel clean for the first time in an age. Still have an oozy little hole in my wound that bubbles icky stuff when I squeeze it, but other than that, and the incessant itching (a good sign I know) everything is good with my wound. Got a lecture on not lifting stuff from the district nurse when she came to redress it. Now, I know, ideally I would sit here for the next three months and not lift anything heavier than a coffee cup . . . but how many people, in all practicality, have the luxury of doing that? I live in the real world, like most people, and most people don't have someone on call 24 hours a day to lift the things that need lifting. Especially when they live on their own. I *am* doing my best - I'm calling friends when I can, getting them to do stuff for me when they visit, and when I have to lift something if it's something I can break down into smaller parts then I'm making more trips with small loads . . . if it's something I can drag rather than lift, I'm doing that etc etc. And so far I don't seem to have bust myself.
Anyway, things I need to do over the next day or so:
1. Dishes (there's only a few but I should do them before they breed)
2. Sort out the laundry
3. Give the toilet a clean since my home help who didn't turn up yesterday rang to say she couldn't come today either because her daughter is sick. Toilet *really* needs cleaning, even if it's just on the inside.
I'd love to do a quick spot vacuum of bits of fluff and cat food and cat litter, but vacuuming is one of the things I'm definitely forbidden to do and am not going to try and do anyway. If someone comes to visit me I'll ask them to do it quickly (I don't want the whole house vacuumed, just the bits where the cats have made a mess).
I also need to read and send back the proof of my next chaser, and work more on the third one. But very soon (when I've finished my yoghurt) I'm going to get dressed and go for a wander around a shop. Yay!
