Yesterday and today.

I was tired yesterday and lay on the bed in the afternoon chasing some elusive shut eye which as to form didn't arise. Not helped by a drop in external temperature and a mad shower of hailstones. Decided to leap off the bed and set up the new eero mesh WiFi I snaffled in the prime day sales. Note I don't leap anywhere anymore. I was very diligent at unplugging everything but omitted to make a note of my network name and password. It only took me an hour to reassemble the letters numbers and special characters into the right combo. Got there eventually but gave myself a headache. Added the second box in the hall and things seemed good. Apple TV wasn't responding on the Ethernet. Just added it to WiFi and worked out what to do. Watched a scary movie which did make me jump a few times. All seems ok on the WiFi front and one box still to deploy. May need another on for the kitchen but who knows.

It’s been a busy week.

Monday to Friday that is. Seen the OT twice, got homework off the Physio. Saw the specialist nurse in Walton neuro centre it was triggering for the whole trauma thing of what happened to me. Even reading the discharge letter the night before felt weird. It's helped move me along the denial/acceptance spectrum. Thursday I saw the stroke a team psychologist she's helping me along the way. Friday was the speech and language therapist. Some tests and some exercises including this. Off to GP surgery for my flu jab managed to lock ourselves out on the way. The locksmith was there within 15 minutes and a master at his craft.
I have manflu and everyone knows it. Had a couple of catch up calls with good people which lifted my spirits.
Writing this blog post is part of my speech and language therapy homework.

Do I need to change the name?

My plan was after my op on the 25th of June. I would update this blog regularly didn't realise at the time that wasn't to be the case. I had a stroke whilst in the ITU at Walton hospital or the Walton Centre as it preferred to be called. It's only now nearly 4 months later that the effect it had is beginning to dawn on me. I am and always have been the king of denial, especially around matters related to illnessaffect affecting me. I'm not gonna make a rash promise as to how often I will update this but everybody seems to think slow and gradual is the way to go.
