Another ten hours in bed, three of them awake, disturbed by the need to pee. No wonder I feel sleepy after meds and breakfast. At eight I called the surgery for an appointment. It took three tries to get through to the call queue, but was granted one at eleven to discuss the effect of the blood thinners on my legacy leaky bum wound amongst other things. It all looks healthy to the doctor, nothing to worry about. It seems my blood sodium level is what it needs to be. For an added bonus, I was given a 'flu jab.
Prawns with rice and veg for lunch, followed by an hour long sleep, and a walk in Llandaff Fields before sunset.
Before supper I wrote and recorded Morning Prayer and a Reflection for Christmas Eve. I spent the rest of the evening writing our annual Christmas newsletter. Not an easy task to get an appreciative perspective on what has been an upheaval of a year with many changes taking place and much uncertainty about the future. So much to let go of, wondering what there is to look forward to apart from decline into infirmity. At least for the moment I'm physically fit. For this I'm grateful.
