A fairly quiet day today, I was going to finish mowing the top lawn, but it must have rained in the night and the grass stayed damp all day. So instead I sat and sewed. I wanted to make another bear using another one of my old patterns and the calico type fabric my neighbour gave me.
I didn't have any safety eyes, so embroidered them on instead.
His paws are made from a pair of my younger son's old jeans.
I went for a short walk mid afternoon to try and blow the cobwebs out.
Walking was a struggle though.
This clematis I saw in someone's front garden was huge!
Rock formation on my walk.
I just did a short 2 mile circuit today - it was really hard work, and I felt like I hadn't walked for months. The walking is getting harder.
A rose in my front garden is starting to bloom and looks gorgeous.
What a difference today is from yesterday. This evening I can't see the sea at all, and can barely see the roof of the house across the road, a real sea mist has come over.
My body still hurts, and my feet have started to get more painful. This is not good news, despite me trying to ignore it as best as I can! Days when I can't be so active outside, make it more obvious. (Mainly documenting this for my own records, not to moan).
I'm sorry that you pain is getting worse. It is, as I've mentioned before, so debilitating. I have little shoots on my rose!
ReplyDeleteYes it is disappointing. It has made me realise what a difference the steroids make to my life. I am going to give it a month, and if still feel like this or worse, will be contacting the doctor to see if I can go back on them. I figure I have to give it some time for my body to adjust, even though I did wean off them slowly, perhaps the dose didn't go low enough.
DeleteHow lovely! It was thrilled to discover this rose, as I do miss my rose garden.
That's a very pretty rose!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're having more pain again and trouble walking.
Isn't it lovely? A nice surprise, especially as I left all my roses at our old place.
DeleteSorry to hear abut the pain. Whereabouts is your Dad?
ReplyDeleteHe lives near Helensville in NZ. :)
DeleteThat is a gorgeous photo you have there, of the rose.
ReplyDeleteSorry that your pain is preventing you from going for your walks. I hope something can be done for you soon.
Thank you :)
DeleteHi there. Jennie from Codlins & Cream. Just popping across to say hello. Another one who has been busy with crafts and walking and gardening in these In Limbo times.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely spot you live in - oh, I would give my eye teeth for sea views!!!
Hi Jennie, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. I have been rather lapse at leaving comments on blogs lately, which is a bit bad as I do love receiving them myself.
DeleteVery lucky to live here, a dream come true.
I hope you improve soon, and able to walk free again, I so enjoy being outside. I love your teddy, he's the best you have made.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your lovely comment.
DeleteSorry to read you're struggling with pain. It must be really hard when it impacts on something you love to do like walking. Did you have to come off the steroids or is it something you wanted to try and do? Love the teedy and the material you've used. xx
ReplyDeleteNo the Dr didn't want me on them all the time, so it was he who has brought me off them.
DeleteThanks :) I am enjoying making the bears.
So sorry that the pain is back. Love the bear, such a great make.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a bit frustrating, probably more so as I now know what it is like to have less pain!
DeleteI know how much you love your walks, so not being able to enjoy them fully must be very frustrating. Love the teddy bear xxx
ReplyDeleteVery very frustrating, it spoils it as well. But hey onwards and upwards as they say... Thank you.
