In this ridiculous heat I have the cold. That's right. The cold. Last night I think I seen every hour. As well as being too hot to sleep comfortably, my head, throat, ears and nose felt all stuffy. Here's hoping it's out my system quickly.
Bug was at the childminder this morning and he won't be back for two weeks (childminder will be on holiday). While he was there I filled his paddling pool. Initially I was just running back and forth with jugs of water but then my neighbour let me use the hose. Bug was delighted when he got home to see the pool. He moves his slide over to it so he can slide into the water. Hours of playing in the garden. Days like this are wonderful. Bug loves being outside. Lots of laughing and throwing water about.
Our neighbours, F and N, have so much time for him. F sometimes asks to take him a walk to the bottle bank. Yesterday Bug was playing with just a basin of water but said to N he needs to take his glasses off so they don't get ruined - meaning bug was going to try soak him with the water. Last wee I made rice crispy cakes with bug and he insisted on giving one to them.
I've still not heard from physiotherapy and that's 4 weeks tomorrow. I was at the doctors yesterday and have been referred to see an orthopaedic surgeon. No idea how long that will take. Doctor signed me off for another two weeks so I can see physiotherapist first. The doctor said there wasn't anything further than he could do. I'm worried if I go back without knowing what I can do to support my wrists that I'd be risking further nerve damage. I always feel so guilty being off work but is it worth permanent nerve damage?
It's been just as hot here today too, far too warm! Probably the worst time to get a cold too, hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteGlad bug had fun :-) despite how awkward work can be for causing problems being off, its definitely not worth risking further damage by going into work.
I think you're right with the smoking thing too, it can only help really xx
