I managed a short walk to the shops at the top of the road with Kitten at lunchtime, which is a big step forward.
It was painstakingly slow but was worth its value in symbolic terms more than anything else. Just to be able to have the strength to get out of the house and out of the environment of complete rest is a break in the right direction.
Since originally posting this article I have also managed the two mile ride in the car (with Kitten driving) to pick up the kids from school. I did it to try and get on their wavelength before they come into the house.
I now need to keep the food up to keep the improvement going. I am still very frail and fragile.
Hi Rumps

Good for you, fingers crossed it continues.
Take care

Hi Rumps,
ReplyDeleteGood to see after you said in your 'Trying to Push' that you were hoping to see dividends from your efforts that you are seeing dividends just a day later :)
Long may it continue!
Best Regards

Hi Rumps... just a quick one to wish you well really. Been a while since I read the blog and I guess I was trying to avoid it tbh. Anyway, keep your strength up brother. x
ReplyDeleteOn the point of the Fortisip.. when looking after my Grandmother through Illnes she could not stomach these drinks... however there is also Fortijuice I think it's called, which rather than the milksehake is an actual juice build up drink. Lots of different flavours to, and indeed I used to ask for a mixture of flavours when getting her prescription for a bit of variety. You may be aware of this already, but I thought I would mention it. Made a huge difference to my nanna when we found those juice based build up drinks.
In my prayers
