Thanks, @Dimity . I keep hitting the wall at work, but I was pleased to make it through the day. 

 

That's great about your transport and social support! What does the social support entail? Is that different to the home help? 

 

I hope that the person is well enough to water your garden next week🤞

 

Do you think you could do some reading during your convalescence?

 

I haven't yet gone out on my errands - am psyching myself up. Am amazingly not totally wiped out this morning. Just tired. 

 

No, I don't follow the news and current affairs (except on Facebook and occasionally on Google). I did for many years, but it got me down. I find I'm more peaceful without it. 

 

There are a lot of changes for you at the moment - the upheaval of your upcoming surgery, plus all the new supports. Am thinking of you as you adjust 🫂
