Longer than I Thought
I had 5 days in hospital, then Paul brought me home on Saturday. When I got up on Sunday morning, I sat up in bed and put my feet on the floor, and thought I feel well! So I pulled the blind up, strided out in the usual long steps, and pulled the front room blind up and lit the gas heater, back to the bedroom picked my clothes up and into the bathroom, when suddenly I felt as weak as a kitten. I spent the day shuffling around and stumbling!!
Next day, when Paul took me to my Doctor, he told me it would take a month at least, to get over it, and maybe 6 weeks. It is so hard for my mind to accept that you just have to start from the bottom up! I think in my mind, that I am the same, but it is getting used to the fact that the body is old and will take a longer time to recuperate!
