So today started well. I could reach to defrost our deep freezer and I managed to peg out the washing by bringing the line down low before propping it up. Hanging out the washing is one of my favourite household jobs and I'm glad I can still do it - just!
Then the not so good. I now can't take clothes off over my head by myself unless I lay on the bed and wriggle from side to side! So the dilemma of going swimming was what can I wear that I can take off by myself? I found a shirt and cardigan, so ok.
Swimming has always been easy for me and now it is not. My foot hurts when I try and flex my right foot to swim breast stroke and my arms fail me after half a length of front crawl (in reach and strength). I have been trying to swim once a week and make myself do 20 lengths but it is very hard work. Then I got to the shower with my shampoo and remembered I can't reach to wash my hair in the shower and normally prop my arm up on the side of the bath to do it. Anyone who knows North Walsham Victory Pool will know that the showers are fully on display at the side of the pool - great!!
So feeling quite down as I walked out to the car but it's a beautiful day and I looked up at the sky but I forgot to lift my right foot and tripped over in the car park...aaagh!
