Working around my knee and ankle
Thanks to the flexibility of my workplace, I was able to work from home Monday & Tuesday. On Weds my boss gave me a lift in and Chris gave me a lift back and on Thursday my boss gave me a lift both ways and Friday was normal work from home day.
My ankle is still slightly swollen and the bruising is coming through. I do have a full range of movement and can walk around fine indoors. Outside, I feel the strain on uneven ground, so I am going to play it safe and ask for a lift tomorrow too.
My cut knee took a couple of days before I could bear to put any clothing on it. It is now ok for anything except thin tights (which I suspect would snag on the scab). I still can't kneel on that knee and I have discovered just how much I use that as a stage in standing up or kneeling down to do anything.
I can however do all but one of my physio exercises.
I stopped taking painkillers a couple of days ago and tonight I will not elevate my feet when I sleep.
Chris had a good interview on Weds and was able to rest decently on Thursday and Friday.
We had a pleasant time with my brother and his wife yesterday - we showed them "My Neighbour Totoro" and had a take-away rather than going to a restaurant.
As a reward, Chris' voice started to come back this morning, so he now has slightly more than a whisper.
Gardening news: I bought some hay to put around the strawberry plants to keep the berries out of the mud.
