“Patience pays off” — Mayte Garcia
Again, I didn’t blog yesterday as there wasn’t much to say. Ate, slept, rested, felt marginally better. I managed a bit of tinkering time in the garage, finalising the work on that bike which is needed at the end of the week for a birthday present, I’d felt under a bit of pressure . Later we each had our version of a pancake each, whether English or American, Syrup or Lemon, and thoroughly enjoyed them.
Last night, I had probably the best nights sleep for a while. I don’t remember waking up more than once in the night, and I felt pretty refreshed when I got up. There’s definitely a decent improvement today. I’m getting less out of breath when I do things, and I haven’t had a nap, although I am really tired watching the football and am looking forward to my bed. Good signs though, I just hope that Friday doesn’t derail the recovery.
My hands are less sore, but still sore. At times they are tingly, almost itchy, which is new. Again I’d liken it to when your hands are absolutely freezing, like when you have been building snowmen or making snowballs. Then when you go inside and warm them up, there’s a tingling sensation in them. Hopefully it’s the nerves coming back to life and repairing ? I don’t really understand it but I hope so.
If I feel even better tomorrow, I might be a bit more active and see how I hold up. I’m not counting my chickens just yet but I’m optimistic.
