Went out first time in nearly a week today. First stop to see a nurse at the Docs then Mrs C took me to the Salvation Army cafe in Bulwell for a hot drink on a very cold Wednesday morning, was nice though to bump into people in the market area who I had not seen for weeks, even people who's name I don't know but who nod & the occasional "Ayup Youth".Although very cold was great to get out & about in Bulwell town, still wheelchair bound but slowly on the mend. I even managed to walk the length of my driveway today, I couldn't do that last week.

Why ever Bulwell gets bad press is beyond me.

Managed to climb in & out the bath myself today, more progress !

Any progress is good progress keep it up, stick to a bath showers are useless.  In a bath you can read have a cuppa stay in  for an hour try doing that in a shower.  Just don't forget to keep you'r water hot.

Went for another CRP blood test today, only problem was the nurse tried 4 attempts to find a vein in my arm & failed, I called a halt to proceedings after that & refused anymore attempts to get blood. I'll go to my usual nurse next time. Good news was CRP down from 50 to 26 last weeks blood test, nearly there !

 

Had a trip to the new pub/carvery at Nuthall at lunch time.   http://www.nottinghampost.com/whats-on/food-drink/first-look-around-nottinghams-new-910697

Not impressed at all. too expensive & have tasted better. should have gone to 'Spoons ! I refuse to pay £3.20p for a pint of Abbot Ale, 'Spoons price £2.49p !

 

Apart from these minor setbacks not a bad day really.

Decided to do something different today. Went to church this morning & walked with the wheelchair to see how far I could walk. Oh dear still got a long way to go but leg muscles slowly building up again, getting better though !

I was told after my first knee op that it takes about six weeks for a muscle to waste 

and about six months to get it back. so little and often caftan you'll get there.
