  27th October

  Went on my favourite walk today.  This is the first bit of the walk.  There and back it’s about 14000 steps and I managed 1/2 the way and then picked up logs for the fire.   I love each part of this walk — despite being tir...

  Pre-operative assessment

  Today it was my pre-operative assessment. That was easy. I think the only thing is that it made all very real. They gave me so many booklets. I spend 1 hour reading and investigating online what was what. It was good to know what would happen, but a...

  Headache all day today.  Feeling pretty low. So much to get done and so little energy to do it with.  Hopeful I will get a few good hours to get things done in.   Daughter managed to go from the door of the school today which is progre...
