but i suppose first an update. i'm still doing really well, but get tired very easily. i am already bored stiff, so i must be on the mend. the thought that there are still two months of convalescence ahead of me is really quite unsettling! i was two hours late taking anti-inflammatories and painkillers yesterday though and paid for it, i needed to take the extra super duper painkillers at bedtime for the first time since i came off the morphine, so a lesson learned. the family ios all primed to tell me to take soe drugs at 5pm today. between us all, i should remember. for today at least.

did i mention that i got some lovely gifts? there were parcels waiting when i got home from hospital.

this one from

yanata

yummy chocolate! and look, my first ever ball of sock yarn! the colours are great, just the thing to brighten up my feet. turns out that the set of sock needles i ordered are .25mm too big for this yarn, but i think i may not worry about that and just have a go anyway. SpinningFishwife is coming round this week, so i'm hoping to get a starter lesson! thank you very much for this,

yanata it's lovely and it's so nice to know that people are thinking of me.

also waiting for me when i got home was a parcel from WyeSue this photo is awful, the contents lovely

3 gingerbread animals, which i am very nice and have been sharing with my children. a ginger cookbook which even my mum is inspired by and i think some baking may be done this week. some green and blacks, which is going to get used with one of Bill's birthday presents - his sister sent him the green and blacks cookbook for his birthday - yay! and Sue sent me a scarf - in the loveliest alpaca, it is just soo nice! thank you very much, it was a lovely parcel to receive, and the card (all about pants) gave us all a good laugh.

these flowers arrived in hospital from Adeline
