Day 58 - Lost track of time.

Clever Bird has lost all track of time. She doesn't even know what year it is, let alone what day. The truth is that Baggy has too much to contend with at the moment. And yet, not as much as usual to do. It's now two months since she had her Laparotomy and Hysterectomy surgery to send Lawrence-the-durmoid-cyst off on his new adventures. One month since she had her Cubital Tunnel surgery. As far as her recovery goes, Clever Bird thinks that Baggy is well ahead of schedule. Her stomach generally feels pretty normal. That is until she does something stupid, like slipping. Then she realises that perhaps it's not quite right in there. But of course she knows in reality that it can't be fully healed. If it was, why was she not even allowed to restart her Tribal dance class until this week? And it's another month before Grotty Groom is permitted to ride, or to look after the horses. But the wound is healing very well. Generally it no longer gives any pain. Although there is still a weird dip in the middle of the wound. And the top of Baggy's stomach is still swollen. Mind you as Clever Bird pointed out to Baggy, that could just be fat! She is still in Christmas over-eating mode. Although she did just polish off the very last ("waffer-theen") mince pie! Slimming World on Friday to check the bad news. Hmmmm!

As far as her arm recovery goes; Baggy drove today. Yay! Only into the local town (about five miles), then back again an hour or so later. But she drove. Her elbow didn't start hurting until she was nearly home. Then there was a bit of a stabbing pain. But nothing too bad. Baggy can almost (but not quite) straighten her arm. It's still slightly swollen. It still hurts a lot if it's knocked, or if Baggy forgets herself and leans on it. But if she was in the United States, it would not even be out of plaster for another two weeks! So again it's doing really well. Freda Fretter is concerned that Baggy can't close her fingers properly, but Clever Bird is hopeful that it will be fine once the swelling has gone. So, really Baggy is a strong old bird. Definitely doing well. She just has to contend with flipping Hormonal Hannah who is finding it hilarious to bring Baggy out in massive hot flushes at the most awkward of moments. Mind you, the gang are on top of Hannah as far as the "feeling pathetic" trend is going. That is with one exception.

Hormonal Hannah is still preventing Grotty Groom from going over to see her beloved Boys. She knows that Grotty will get upset, seeing them, but not even being able to groom them. Plus she's convinced that Grotty will just upset them too, turning up for a few minutes and then vanishing again. But Grotty misses them terribly. So now that Baggy can drive, she will be going over to see them at some point this week.

 

 

But you see. There's the point. It's Wednesday. Clever Bird thought it was Tuesday. Creative Clara completely forgot to blog yesterday. (Sorry bloggees). The week is virtually over. But all the days are blurring. It seems like months and months since her arm surgery, let alone her Lawrence surgery. It really isn't that long. Baggy needs to learn some patience, or she's going to set herself back...........
