Thursday 24/08/23

Sorry for the delay in posting anything this week. It's been for a number of reasons including depression brought on mainly by the inability to walk more than a few steps. But guess what! Yesterday I walked 24 metres without stopping and now I'm considered well enough to be discharged which they're planning for this Friday 25th.

Simon's been so busy making sure all areas are accessible if possible. He's also installed the grab rail on the wall along the wall opposite the end of the bed.

We're also planning to sell the electric two-seater reclining armchair/sofa and replace it with an electric  riser/recliner armchair, such as the one below:-


I'm not sure whether Lottie will be pleased to see me when I get home, or whether she'll have the strop with her for going off and abandoning her! Either way, I'll be over the moon to see her!

My article about Eliot Best was published in 'Dogs Today' magazine this week. It's brilliant to see something of mine in print again after a gap of a  few years, and to know that there are thousands 'in print' and on shelves in stationers throughout the country. I think Eliot is pleased too.


All for now. It's 03:05 here!
