Well the last week has been difficult, really difficult. The surgery recovery became easier as the stitches healed, but then a whole new kettle of fish bobbed to the surface. My neck and back were black and blue, and the pain increased over the next few days.
Fast forward to yesterday, and I was in hospital with a slipped disc, and am unable to move 
I am finally on decent pain relief, and am going back in this week for intensive physio. Walking is only possible with the aid of a walker, and I have several new gadgets around the house that are meant to assist mobility.
It’s a long road to recovery, and I am feeling a little foolish and sorry for myself. The hardest part of it all is not being able to pick up the baby, and do all the things I usually do. It’s school holidays, and so far most of it has been spent hobbling around. N is doing his best to look after me and the 4 kids on his own, but I am feeling very guilty for not being able to do all my usual chores.
So for now, I am resting, and have already cleared out my UFO box, and done some mending! I think its time to cast on something new, just have to decide what..
