Morning all,
Well it is the start of day twenty five for me. Another bright sunny day looms outside. The birds are singing and preparing for their migration. In a way, I wish I could go too. First Oder of the day - the business end of things.
Physically I am fine. I slept like a baby. I did wake a few times during the night for water and bathroom calls. I had no trouble going back to sleep. I had a slight headache when I woke, but it is fading. I am testing my theory on water today. The cheek numbness is there. My body feels a bit restless. I am sure this is due to lack of exercise and being stuck in this house with the builders. It is a small price to pay for getting things done. I am starved and contemplating a quick breakfast before the tilers arrive. Probably a good idea.
Mentally, well, I am not sure. Nothing much has changed since last night. I do find that I am becoming more inquisitive about stuff. So I am taking that as a good sign.
Emotionally I feel good. Other than fleeting twinges so far there have been no monumental self pity sessions. I think this is going to continue for a while.
Today is a public holiday here in SA. I am not sure which one and I am not sure that I really care about finding out. All in all I feel good for where I am in my recovery. I don't really have anything to gauge it against. I feel a little restless at the moment. Almost impatient. I just want to get the ball rolling and get on with it. I know I should guard against this. I should rather just live in the now. Too much, too soon, without proper rational thought is a recipe for disaster. Today is one of those days that I am going to actively have to remind myself to stop and smell the roses. Take time out, me time.
The tiling is coming along splendidly. I am very impressed. Somehow these physical changes actually imbue a sense of pride and well being within this lump of coal that is my heart. I am impatient and want them to finish, but I know that good things come to those that wait. So I will bite my tongue, take deep breathes and wait for the finished product.
Be safe and be strong.
Cheers,
ZAB
