Tuesday 16th September

I only know the date because I've just had to sign a form and write it, otherwise I would have no idea, the days are just a blur, interspersed by meals and toilet trips.....( obviously one follows on from the other)

My husband has had what is known in our house as an #epicfail .... He wrote loads of post earlier, failing to 'save', thought he had enough battery power in iPad and guess what he didn't....

I am not writing reams of drivel you don't want to read about, and anyway what is there to say? Brief visits from different doctors this morning, basic poke, very unusual to be in my situation but very occasional can happen(!) just going to keep an eye on you, and hopefully not have to aspirate any more, as it maybe settling down.....

Key Worker came to see me this afternoon, didn't realise she was psychoanalysing me as well, told me I'd mentioned " going home" three times in ten minutes!!!! Did manage to strike a bit of a deal , if I behaved I could go outside for a WALK! Whoopee! Steve took me round the block and into what he described as a"park", very nice green space if you're a Londoner but nothing like a real park...what do you expect we are in Chelsea!

And so I'm relatively pain free but that is definitely aided and abetted by strong painkillers, and I know this as by the time it's coming to next dose, I'm ready for them ( hope they're not addictive...) I feel able to walk a bit faster, put socks and shoes on ( couldn't reach feet properly before) and generally eating better and slightly larger portions, ( couldn't get any smaller!) .

Thought you'd like to see photo of Steve reclining in my chair and reading the paper...... He had been trying in vain to listen to the states 'live' but it was broken, so had to follow twitter feeds all day ....and yes that is my private TV you can see on the right hand side of pic....


He told me to smile..... I just thought that folk think I was exaggerating when I said I looked five months pregnant, this top was the only 'loose' tunic I had in my wardrobe....and it's tight..... Totally ridiculous it will be four weeks Thursday I've been struggling with this ' fluid' , and yes I'm angry!!!!!
