Social media makes it so easy to not being lonely whilst you’re wide awake into the early hours. Last night in was ‘ in conversation ‘ until 3 am.

Then I turned off my phone and tired, I went to sleep.
Sadly at 7am my doctor bursts in, whilst I am very much asleep, puts on all the lights, puts his very cold hands on my torso, and starts pressing in multiple places, plus asking me detailed questions at the same time.
As I’m used to it, I don’t mind. Worse things happen to me, every hour of every day, on balance.

Anyway, today I can get into my wheel chair using a hoist ( my own suggestion, rather than his ) and also go onto a tilt table, where they stand me up ( my suggestion too – as gravity helps my bowel function – and it’s been 5 days now without any action…despite lots of figs, fruit, laxatives and water. When it comes, it could be big… and going out to a nice cafe, probably isn’t the best plan….

He said having a hoist screwed to the bedroom ceiling would be the best plan too, so obviously that can be enquiries about, rather than a return home followed by a broken metal fixation through trying too hard to move myself using my (considerable) arm power.

Progression in a timely and sensible manner this time, I feel!
