Day 135

OK so i got up early this morning to go to the meet and yes the knee just is not behaving itself. Sure enough Lisa and Keith were waiting for me. There was no way i was going to walk a lamp post distance let alone a run so i went home feeling very dejected!!

I so want to do this and am finding obstacles already and its only the first week. So i have rested today. Literally just sat down or laid on the settee all day!
Leg in the support popped the pills and am hoping!! See what the Doc says.
I'm looking at the hula hoop um, i wonder if that will work standing on one leg. Shall i try? best not, liable to fall over and do more damage to this failing body of mine!!

Spoke to Lin today and she is having problems to. Spent the conversation comparing knees!!! and our weights.
Tim was on the floor wiping the tiles and i had this sudden impulse to leap on his back, feeling a moment of youth here. Duly did and only for Tim to say, hey Sue don't mind you getting on but tell the other two to get off!!! So much for feeling good. I have to say it did make me laugh though.

Its been another day that i have managed to get through without hurting so much. Missing Mikey is never going to stop but the pain of his loss has not been so profound for the past week. I wonder if its because i have had so much else to think about. Maybe.

Its my birthday on Tuesday and this will be the first one with no humorouss card from Mikey. Mikey always remembered birthdays, mothers days and fathers days etc. Tom, well it just goes past him he rarely remembers. Mikes cards are usually about botox or weight orientated!! love him xx.

It would have been Audreys birthday on Tuesday as well, last year we were at a conference the day after. Now she is no longer with us, it will be almost a year since she died in a horrific accident going home from work. Now another very close colleague has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Is there no end to tragedy. I will try and support her but i know it will be hard.

I had a beautiful basket of spring flowers in a basket for Xmas from Mikey's swimming teacher/school lunch supervisor sadly i am useless with plants but today i took time to nurture the plants and lo and behold i have just looked and they have resurrected!! how lovely to see these blooms on a miserable day. I will endeavour to spend more time on them in the future.

The evenings seem to be getting longer well at least the day light appears to be lasting longer another sign that winter is on the decline and Spring will be here soon. The seasons change so quickly.

I have blogged early tonight and will attempt to do so each day. If the knee improves i will try to get out for morning run to keep up with Sue who will be racing ahead of me!! Perhaps a good swim would help?
I'm going to bed with the hope that i will be walking better,  i will have to wait and see but tomorrow is another day.....................
