Finally got to a couple of minor jobs I had on my list yesterday, put a extra decorative strip on the shade I bought for my big table lamp to lengthen it so it balanced with the base, and repaired a couple of framed silk pieces I inherited, so feeling very happy about ticking those off. Just a bit of kitchen cupboard scrubbing today so I can move on with the undercoating, not exciting but easy enough on the body.
The final stage of muscle regeneration after the hip op is underway now which is making life much easier, I have more flexibility and lifting power back and the movement pain is fading - the exercises are working at last. This one has taken longer than my first but then I am seventeen years older lol, so I have to be patient. We forget that no matter how we feel on the inside, the body still gets creaky. I have been following a tai chi master on instagram and using some of his moves - albeit a great deal slower and gentler than he does, and maybe they are doing the work the hospital physio's routine wasn't quite so good at. Either way, I like the results. And I'm hoping it helps with my balance, which is still not good enough to rely on, thank heavens for walls and handrails and furniture!
