Recovery? Don’t talk to me about cross training!

April 25th, 2013 | 6 Comments

I have been going through what I think are fairly normal MdS withdrawal symptoms. Getting back from an event which is in such stark contrast to most others, and far removed from anything most of us would experience in ‘real-life’ is bound the have such an impact. Perhaps less so on those brave individuals in the armed forces, or perhaps civilian firemen, police, etc., who frequently put their lives on the line and who have a familiarity … Read entire article »

After the Trot

February 9th, 2013 | 4 Comments

The Thames Trot took a bit more out of me than I realised and one week on it’s time for a bit of a post-mortem. During the week, I’ve run a few times, but my legs have definitely been tired. When doing the simplest things, such as climbing the stairs at the Waterloo when rushing for the train, getting moving in the morning, etc., I’ve certainly noticed more fatigue in my legs; more difficult to get … Read entire article »

Rest Day 2

May 31st, 2012 | 2 Comments

The good news is that my foot is getting better a lot faster than I had dared to hope and I may even be able to get down to the gym tomorrow for a light touch of cross training, although running is unlikely to be a sensible idea. The limping has already ceased, I haven’t had to ice my foot today and my walking is almost up to normal speed as well, so I’m certainly happy … Read entire article »

Sleepovers, Ketchup and Kites

May 26th, 2012 | Comments Off

Morgan had had a sleep over with a very brave parent overnight, so after breakfast the first thing to do this morning was to pick him up. However, as we had a party to go to at 11am, to which all of the children were invited, and a present was still required, there was no time to really think first thing. The morning seemed to disappear into a haze of toy shopping, traffic jam frustration … Read entire article »

Rest Day….for some!

May 25th, 2012 | 2 Comments

We arrived home mid evening yesterday and really didn’t do much else before crashing out, but when we arrived, the children were all still up and wildly happy to welcome their mother home. Today was more of a normal day, with the school run to do and so on. Liz was under strict instructions to rest which she complied with for most of the day, although clearly had done too much (?) by 2:30 as she … Read entire article »

Procedure Dates and Habits

April 30th, 2012 | 1 Comment

I had interviews to do today at work – interviewing for a short term business analyst position. The process seems to take as long as the engagement itself! Anyway the upshot of that was that I had to be in work this morning, but had to also be home to take Liz to see her consultant for a review. With the interviews over I returned via my normal route but the peculiarity of travelling at midday … Read entire article »

Misty Swimming

April 23rd, 2012 | Comments Off

Monday’s are always a long day. I don’t think I’ve quite caught up on sleep yet from last week’s trip. It is amazing how long it takes to recover from a lack of sleep sometimes. Liz is in a similar situation at the moment, not from sleep deprivation but because her body needs more sleep as part of her recovery, so really we are having moments where we are both walking round like zombies late in … Read entire article »

Weekend!

March 23rd, 2012 | 6 Comments

Spend the day at home again today as Morgan is still not well, suffering from the throat and temperature that is going around. The day was relatively quiet otherwise, after the trauma of the visit from the nurse yesterday. She meant well, but going through the detail of everything that had happened and was still to happen was just too much for Liz at the end of the day. Just coming to terms with everything at … Read entire article »

Up to Town

March 17th, 2012 | 6 Comments

Liz is feeling a lot better today. She had a brief period this morning where she actually felt like things were back to normal, which, considering what she has been through over the last couple of weeks, is extraordinary. Nevertheless, she was still under strict instructions not to carry out any extreme feats of housework, DIY or anything involving heavy lifting or endurance activities We had nothing out of the ordinary planned today, except the … Read entire article »

First Day Fatigue

March 16th, 2012 | 9 Comments

First day back at home and nothing much to report as it’s been a day of rest. Liz was bright-eyed and bushy tailed when she got up this morning but unfortunately Luke was still not well, so stayed off school again today, although Liz said she felt well enough to sit and read with him while I took the other members of the tribe to their respective places of learning. So, we were super-quick up Pewley Hill … Read entire article »
