Day 49 (7weeks)
7 weeks today, and starting to feel even more like myself again. There’s still a way to go; still aching quite a lot, but I do feel I’ve turned a corner. I’m so looking forward to catching up with friends on Saturday. It’s a reunion with some of the people I met on my journey of self-discovery in Thailand and Cambodia, and I’m staying the night! Normality is creeping nearer and nearer. Something feels different, not just in my body, but in my mind. I can really feel that positive connection.
​
Last week I arranged a series of 1:1 yoga sessions with massage and reflexology, with one of my healing friends and it was fab. It felt lovely to stretch my limbs again, and the massage was so relaxing, especially when I sit at a computer most of the day. The fracture site is not so bad now, but the muscles around that ache like hell, especially if I stand too long, or forget to have movement breaks when I’m working.
​
There isn’t too much I can’t do now, but I still miss having the grandchildren or visiting the children I work with. They’re unpredictable, they can’t help but run, jump and be kids, and so they should! But I’m nervous that they might push me accidentally, or I’ll have a relapse of memory, and forget that my muscles are weak, and lift my little granddaughter. I absolutely know that self-care is needed, and I will need to feel a little fitter before going back to Nanna duties.
It went well by the way!
