Got it!

 I've started the course 'Creative Writing Non-fiction' and worked my way through Module One. I've also completed my first assignment which was 300 - 500 words of an opening to a book. The deadline is this coming Sunday, but I've completed it early.

As for my health, my left leg continues to hurt, sometimes it's agony. I have a weekly morphine patch on my chest and take Oxycodone about 3 to 4 times a day. I also have some morphine-based gel to rub into the affected area. I do exercise four times a day, once under the supervision of a physiotherapist. My walking is improving slowly, but I still take short slow steps with a walking frame.
