If you read my posts of the last few days it may seem that I am not grateful for the huge result I have had.
The fact that the problems were caused by a displaced stent has to be seen as the most positive outcome.
When you are living these days though it is hard to acknowledge anything. My posts have been minimal because that is all that I have had. I am certainly not out of the woods yet either but I feel like I am beginning to see some daylight at last. When looking at the situation it is important to realise that I had only just come out of hospital after having blood transfusions for anaemia, so my system has really been running very very low.
That said, although I am still weak and undernourished I am getting there with large doses of help from the ever supportive Kitten.
There is a huge difference between knowing that you having got more material problems and the feeling of just being under the cosh but the latter has an immediate impact which cannot be immediately thrown off.
Here's looking forwards to brighter days; and may they be soon! It will be good just to sit in comfort and laugh and joke with the family.
I am meant to be taking Huffty to Chelsea tomorrow with Notoplip and Sonic but that is not possible. Notoplip has kindly offered to look after both and I am grateful. The tickets are for an FA Cup match against Ipswich and we have got them in the "read supporters" stand, so Huffty is very excited and waiting to sing all his songs :-)
Hi Rumps
ReplyDeleteYou must have read your posts with your "negative head on" as to my mind there has been nothing "ungrateful" about them.
Your honesty and realism coupled with your strength of character are qualities to be admired so don't sell yourself short.
The only bit of advice I can give you today is to be realistic in what you can achieve and during this time of recuperation don't set yourself targets that are impossible and leave you feeling frustrated and exhausted.
Rest, rest and rest, for the time being. Your nearest and dearest will be happy just to have you home, you have a wonderful family and friends who will take up any slack.
If I was a "real" friend I would give you a hug and tell you not to be so hard on yourself!
Across cyberspace this is the best I can do.
Best wishes
