Getting on with it .....
Over the last week I have been really down in the dumps as my limited mobility and lack of energy since returning from holiday abroad had severely dented my spirits. I really was fed up...
However, at the end of last week I felt some energy coming back to me and engaging with some work this week has really helped me - I think I was in danger of becoming 'house bound' mentally and physically. Breaking out of this environment and getting back out into my familiar but energy rich, stimulating activities has really helped. These are simple interactions with others, that when isolated through capability mean a hell of a lot to me. My social circle is much smaller these days and I miss the days when I would interact with so many people daily. The limited opportunity I have now is ever more valuable to me :)
I'm just about managing to walk around still - but this requires a great effort to achieve. I am pleased with this as I really feel without this ability life will take on a whole new meaning of dependence and frustration. (you may detect I am a little independent !) I have some new leg supports being organised for next week & I am hopeful these may sustain me a little longer.
The house extension still seems viable with a site meeting this Friday to establish physical aspects of the project - so positive progress at least, this new space is getting to a very critical phase now as I struggle to climb the stairs now...
I am hoping to get some funding to enable me to employ someone to go out with me & assist with some admin stuff. Hopefully this can be made to happen sooner rather than later as the window of beneficence for something of this nature is narrowing - the 'professionals' involved seem to be having difficulty working out which 'pot' the funding should come from - this delay is not helping :( I may have to let them know their bureaucracy is not helping my cause much ...
My new 'monthly holiday strategy' has taken a next step and my daughter has helped organise a weekend away to another of my favourite places in the UK that holds many special memories - some sunshine in the UK next to the beach for a weekend .....
........... & something to look forward to ;visit one of my favourite pubs in their village :)
(Winterton On Sea - Norfolk ) well worth a visit :)))
