hi all,
at 6 weeks, I have to decide in the day how much I think I can do, as excersise is important combined with leg up and ice. Then all the different family and friends visit which whilst taking meds and only getting roughly 3 hors broken sleep at night and 1 hour (if time) in the day.
i am frustrated watching my husband do the " man pegging washing tequinique on the line" - lol . And I am beginning to see all the other parts of the house that need cleaning, along with slowly trying to pick up a little bit of food shopping.
it is so easy to do "too much".
I Want my life back, and everybody sees my brave smile and thinks now I have been signed off at 6 weeks, I am able to be nana, mother, daughter ,sister, friend, colleague, oh and a wife and cleaner.
i had thought I would take this time out of work to catch up on the little jobs to save my boredom ( I wish)
i know now what will be said ( look after the leg first) , but it is so hard, as at 58 I have led a busy active life with many family and work commitments.
i just wondered how everyone else is coping with housework at what stage are you hoovering, pegging out washing cleaning, changing beds and all those jobs that expect you to manoeuvre on your knees!!
oh well got that lot off my chest!!!!
just feeling sorry for myself today after a bad night - did too much yesterday !!!!!!!

Its nice to keep things tidy which I do pottering about, upstairs is fairly tidy, bathroom kept clean and sparkling in case of visitors. I have done the washing and pegging out, even ironed the few things that needed doing. But today, filled the washer and the stupid thing has stopped working, won't spin or rinse so phoned for someone to come out in the morning.... But hoovering can wait, hubby doesn't do it like I would . There is a poem about dusting I will look it out and post...
Feeling a lot better today despite walking 2-3 miles yesterday and leg stiffened as I reached home...massaged, iced, heat...and elevated..rough night but fine this morning so getting 'there' slowly. 13 weeks PO, 75 but felt 95 last night.

Dust If You Must
by Rose Milligan
Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter,
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go (and go you must)
You, yourself, will make more dust.
