So happy to hear from you @Hopeandlove
Not happy to hear you were in pain, I hope the staff can get on top of that
Also really happy for you to be taken into the sun, that will be lovely to feel the sun shining on your skin. Hopefully to see and hear some birds.

@Till23 the nurses were quick to get on top of it so it's only a dull pain left.
They are going to take me out shortly, I'm excited for it 💙.

I’m excited for you @Hopeandlove I have been lucky to be out in nature today even though it was a 14km trip, under my own steam, so pretty tiring.
Having a cup of tea and a rest now.

Autumn is my favorite season, I love the fiery colors and the crisp, fresh air.
I can't wait to hear all about your little adventure in nature. That’s how I picture it, somewhere you can fully immerse yourself, taking in all the sights, sounds, and scents around you. Soak it all in and enjoy!
Hugs,
Snuggles ❤️

Outside was beautiful, the sun was warm and made everything around glow, the trees rustled with the wind gently blowing through them, the birds were chirping their sweet tunes, a butterfly flew past me dancing in the breeze. The nurse took my oxygen off for a short time so i could breathe in the fresh air and we found a rose, she brought it to me so I could smell it, it had a sweet aromatic smell. I closed my eyes and I took everything in, you were all right beside me 💙.

That sounds so beautiful @Hopeandlove I am so glad you had the opportunity when you were well enough to notice all those things.
It’s lovely when you can enjoy nature even if it’s a sliver here and there.
I got to smell the salt air today and also feel it, sometimes not exactly the way I would have preferred but still🤣

That sounds like such a peaceful and beautiful moment. I’m so glad you got to experience the warmth of the sun, the scent of the rose, and the fresh air. It’s the little things isn't it?
I spent most of the afternoon in the backyard gardening which was really peaceful.
