Day +34
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you’re well.
I woke up feeling a little tired, probably because I couldn’t get to sleep, no idea why.
Today is start of week 6, I should start to feel stronger from week 6.
It’s been a good day, healthy food and rest as my legs have been feeling heavy. I did manage stretching this morning which was hard as I seem to have lost most of my flexibility, it will come back.
Feeling exhausted this evening, just need to sleep now.
Good night all, sleep well.

Day +35
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you’re having a good day.
I slept well, thought I’d have energy for the day but I’ve been tired with head fuzz from the get go, no idea why. I was so ready for a walk and to be active but both my head and body are saying no way. Well, today is a rest day, ready for an active day tomorrow.
I’ve been feeling a little low this evening, I think it’s because I’m tired but I’m not sure. Tomorrow is a new day full of new adventures!!
Time for bed and restful sleep.
Good night all, sleep well.

Day +36
Good afternoon all, I hope your week is going well.
I had a good sleep, managed full stretches and after breakfast and a shower we went for a walk. We ended up walking to our local park, a circuit around it and walk back home, I completed 3 miles which is just fantastic.
I’m feeling good, legs are a little heavy but overall no aches.
My evening has been good, just rested, ate well and watched tv.
It’s been a good day, energy levels are better but still low, I’m making progress and happy with how I’m doing.
Time for bed, let’s see what I’ll be ready for tomorrow.
Good night all, sleep well.

Day +37
Good evening everyone, I hope you’ve had a good day.
I slept well but as expected I woke up a little tired, not as bad as I thought I would be.
It’s been a day of work and rest which has really helped. As the day has gone on, I do feel stronger but my fitness is still very low, it’s now a case of finding the right balance.
I was too tired for a walk today but should be ok tomorrow, I may even attempt a bike ride, you never know.
Time for bed and a good night’s sleep.
Good night all, sleep well.

Day +38
Good evening everyone, I hope you’re well.
I didn’t sleep too well and I’ve felt tired all day. I did manage full stretches after breakfast but the weather meant no walk. I felt too tired to ride my bike so it’s been a full day of rest and I really needed it.
Now I’m doing regular stretches, my flexibility is slowly returning but my muscles are still weak.
I’m feeling good, still slowing myself down because I really want to exercise but I can’t afford to push myself. Mind over matter.
Time for bed and a good sleep.
Good night all, sleep well.
❤️🙏🏽
Day +39
Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.
I slept well, no stretches this morning but after breakfast and a shower, we went for a walk and today we covered 2.5 miles which is good because I did feel a little tired before we set off. Just shame about the weather, there was fine rain and we were wet by the time we got back and yep, still cold out there.
Oh how things change in a few hours, I have no idea why but from mid afternoon and all evening, I’ve hit a mental low, frustration also kicked in, why can’t I eat certain foods?, why can’t I go wherever I want? and so on, also angry but at no one, I think the pressure hit the limit. The good thing is that me and Dr N always talk when we feel out of sorts, and talking always helps. Today started good and then turned bad, I suppose I was due a tough day but today it really got to me and it’s been difficult lifting myself up but I’m getting there. I’m a tough oat, dark chocolate cookie!!!
Time for bed, I’ll sleep well because I’m feeling tired, too tired to think which is good.
Good night all, sleep well.
❤️🙏🏽
Day +40
Good evening all, I hope you’re well.
I slept well, managed full stretches, breakfast, a shower and then a short drive out.
It’s been a fairly quiet day and so cold again.
I’ve felt a little better than yesterday but still not myself. I feel like I’m stuck in no man’s land, there’s no way to go back, going forward is al down to my recovery. I think it’s also a realisation that my new lifestyle has started, I’m much more prone to infections and viruses than pre diagnosis, recovery will be longer with the potential of needing antibiotics to help. As all of my childhood immunisations have been wiped out, I can’t start having them again until January 2026 so I really have to be wary of sick children. I also have to be wary of people who have been abroad. No doubt it will be difficult but I don’t have a choice. I think the unknown doesn’t help as well as how I’m going to be feeling. The fitter and healthier I get, the more that will help.
I’ll get out of this dip soon.
Time for bed, a nice and refreshing sleep.
Good night all, sleep well.
❤️🙏🏽
