Friday 13 November - recovering slowly

I have felt really tired both physically and mentally all week, but do slowly appear to be recovering, thank goodness.  I was at the hospital for blood tests on Tuesday and Thursday - good results with the counts going up again on Thursday.  My next visit is on Sunday.  I am still not sleeping especially well (wake up about every 3-4 hours and if I wake after 5am have trouble getting back to sleep at all) and my feet particularly continue to be troublesome but I managed to walk to the next village (c 3/4 mile) to a friend's house and back yesterday afternoon and had no trouble walking round the village this afternoon.

 Best news is that the painters finished yesterday.  RH picture is while we were in the middle of putting everything back last night (well except for the books and DVDs - we finished that this morning).  It was so nice to sit on the sofa again - couldn't believe how much we'd missed it!  We also took the opportunity to get rid of a few books and games so the whole room looks a lot less cluttered - same colour, but clean.
