What does normal look like?

I am trying to look and feel like a normal person today…

Failing miserably of course, as I can’t walk, but the thought is there.

I saw a flash of green through my window this morning. Such a glorious colour.

Spring is well under way, isn’t it?

Then I caught the blue of my water bottle, gleaming in the light, as if trying to tell me something. My memory has more holes than a colander, so it would have to try very hard.

I have been talking to my very wrinkled koi fish lately, on my wrinkled old hand and it occurred to me that he hasn’t been outside to play for ages, instead of keeping me company in here.

I see the consultant this week, and I wonder if he has figured out what’s wrong with me yet?

So far, I have refused to consider that there might be another way out of this, but something has woken up and wants to be heard…

PS I have had to relearn everything, so please be patient with me?

    Good luck, tomorrow. I really hope they know the cause of these distressing problems and can do something to make them go away very quickly. Not being able to walk can make you feel so isolated, but you still find pleasure in the spring. Re-learning is good – no matter how long it takes to recapture something, it’s worth it. I know you’re not a person to give up! ♥

    1. Well, they now know the cause and its not clever. I was an eyelash away from being paralysed, but there was a few things I could do. Yes it was down to me! They had a magic pill that would numb the squashed nerve, but I had to follow an exercise regime religiously until the pill kicked in.
      So, I still can’t walk but I know that I will. and not to far away!

  2. Massive hugs from Downunder. I hope the specialist finds out what’s wrong and gets it fixed asap. Thanks for letting us know how things are going. Fingers and toes crossed for you.

    1. Thanks Meeks, it’s lovely to be touching base again. Hopefully, all this will be a memory soon, fingers crossed! 💖

      1. We’re with you! -hugs-

        1. so good to know, Meeks…💖

  3. Big hugs, m’dear … and black cat smooches and soft head boops.

  6. I wondered what had happened? I’m not sure if it’s your hip or something else but I hope you improve.

    1. I’m not really sure what happened, Robbie. all I know is that its still here. Hopefully, it will go back where it came from… I see the consultant on Thursday, so I might get some answers…

    1. Thats what I am praying for, Vivienne…
