Monday 3rd March to Sunday 9th March
Day +62 - Monday 3rd March
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you slept well.
It’s the start of week 10.
I didn’t sleep too well, feeling tired this morning but managed full stretches.
It’s been a morning of work and staring at a laptop screen has added to my tiredness.
It’s been a restful evening though the tiredness hasn’t got any better.
Time for bed and much needed sleep.
Good night all, sleep well.
❤️🙏🏽
Day +63 - Tuesday 4th March
Good morning all, I hope you’re enjoying the sun.
I slept well, felt a little tired on waking up, after breakfast I pushed myself to ride my bike, I managed 20 minutes, followed by full stretches.
I’m feeling a little tired and generally good, back is making very slow progress but I think all of the exercise will help.
It’s been a restful afternoon and evening, I think I needed it. Legs feel ok and I’m feeling tired.
Time for sleep.
Good night all, sleep well.
❤️🙏🏽
Day +64 - Wednesday 5th March
Good evening everyone, I hope you’ve had a good day.
I slept well, decided it’s a rest day so a lazy breakfast and easy morning. After a shower we went to meet a friend of Dr N for a lovely lunch. It’s was so nice to get out for a change of scenery and have a catch up over lunch, something we haven’t been able to do in ages mainly because I haven’t been well and not having the confidence to meet people at a restaurant. We were very careful and really enjoyed it.
Back home by 5pm and the rest of the evening was spent working and relaxing.
I’m feeling relaxed and good, getting out and back to some kind of normality has lifted my mood, well, it could also be the two Turkish coffees I had 😜.
I’m going to try and get some sleep as it’s getting late.
Good night all, sleep well.
❤️🙏🏽
Day +65 - Thursday 6th March
Good evening everyone, I hope your week is going well.
I didn’t sleep too well and felt too tired to stretch, I think I pushed myself on the bike the other day and because I’m so out of condition, deep breaths are a little problematic so decided today would be a rest day.
After breakfast and a shower, we did go for a walk, a total of 3.25 miles, it was a little hard because I was getting out of breath but I ploughed on and did feel a little better, I think rest and gentle exercise are the way forward for a few days.
The afternoon and evening have been restful which is good.
Stomach pain has also made an appearance this evening, I’m hoping all will be fine after a good nights sleep.
Good night all, sleep well.
❤️🙏🏽
Day +66 - Friday 7th March
Good evening all, I hope you’re well.
The stomach ache really kicked in as soon as I went to bed, hardly getting any sleep, just tossing and turning trying to get comfortable.
No stretches or exercise this morning, just breakfast and shower, followed by some work then a quick outing to do some chores with Dr N.
We were invited to our neighbours C & D this evening and what a lovely time we had, our first true catch up since before diagnosis. They had laid on a beautiful spread, all very tasty. Later in the evening, we were blessed with a visit from their two cats, one even had a nap on my lap.
Now home, I’m feeling tired, mentally positive, my chest is a little uncomfortable when I take deep breaths, if it continues then we’ll contact my specialist nurse on Monday.
Time for bed, there’s a possibility of a lay in.
Good night all, sleep well.
❤️🙏🏽
Day +67 - Saturday 8th March
Good evening everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.
I slept well but no more late nights, I woke up feeling tired. No stretches, just breakfast and after a shower we decided to go for a walk, only local as I felt too tired.
Such a beautiful day, sun was shining, nice and warm so we went to a local pub and sat in their garden. Two pints of 0% Guinness and some light snacks for us both, all was going well but after a few mouthfuls my stomach decided it wasn’t happy, totally out of the blue so we slowly walked back home. I’m not sure if it was the food or the barley, I suspect the barley because I had stomach pain a few days ago after eating pearl barley. It only a guess so will have to monitor what I eat.
My stomach has been painful all afternoon and evening but has got slightly better after medication and eating simple food. I hope I recover before bedtime.
My chest hasn’t made much improvement so everything has been gentle gentle.
Time for bed, stomach is better but it’s letting me know it’s not fully better, chest is the same.
Good night all, sleep well.
❤️🙏🏽
Day +68 - Sunday 9th March
Good morning all, I hope you’re well.
I slept well, stomach is feeling much better, I don’t eat anything after 7pm so fast for over 12 hours which really helps my digestion. I’m feeling a little tired, may do stretches after breakfast, I’ll see how I feel, my chest is only slightly better so I’ll take things easy.
A very restful day, I did help Dr N with a little gardening but while she continued, I stayed indoors.
This evening I’m feeling tired, stomach is much better as is my chest.
The end of week 10.
Time for bed, a good nights sleep will help overcome my ailments.
Good night all, sleep well.
