Me having a laid back approach to viewing the exhibits in the art gallery.When your tired you've just got to lie down...its abit like being three years old again!
Mart in true engineers fashion just has to have a go at the kids challenge in the art gallery!
Mart having his afternoon siesta...when he gives into his weariness that is!
Humour is really returning to the Walshaw household!
Well were two days off eight weeks post transplant.We have managed to go on a few little outtings. I had to put the daily walks on hold as new Blood pressure medication made me feel dizzy until I got used to it.I feel like both my energy and brain are returning more on a daily basis.I still get tired and I and other folk have to remind me I had major surgery not so long ago. Honestly it feels a million miles away.When I drove for the first time the other week I remembered it was the first time I'd been in a car on my own for about three months. It was fab, a lovely dusky evening with 'I'm every woman ' on smooth FM, I felt like Stirling Moss in my battered old focus....freedom! Petes starting to surrender control in the kitchen as well as my credit card ! He and Jen have been amazing.
Mart still gets weary and reluctant to stagger his return to work, guess he'll just have to learn the hard way he is infact not running at this moment on the energy he used to have. God damn that working class work ethic of his!I will have to learn to hold my tongue and accept he will do what he needs to....its dead hard..specially as I'm RIGHT on this one!
Don't know why I haven't blogged as much.I think its a general thing for me at the moment I seem to be doing alot of thinking but I am slow at taking action. Its as if life has really slowed down and I find myself thinking alot about what I want to do with the rest of my life. I think I'll just focus on the next year. One thing I definitely want to do is have an exhibition of my art work about the whole transplant experience to help raise awareness about organ donation but particularly live kidney donors.
Spring has arrived in my garden.
So good to catch up on your news and see how you're going hon. An exhibition of your experiences would be amazing I think. It all looks thoroughly exhausting but yours and Mart's perserverance is also amazing and quite wonderful!
ReplyDeletePeggy is thinking of doing the Going Global in UK next year so I might get to it. Would love it if you were up to going too.
