A Week and Counting!

I've been home a week, I'm feeling good, I'm eating well, I'm on minimum pain relief, and the new colostomy, which is now for life, is working as it should be. I'm putting on weight, (I dropped to 9st at one point), and I have lost the resemblance to Dobby the house elf, but in spite of all these things we are both finding it difficult to relax for fear of it all going pearshaped again! I guess that will come in the fullness of time.

This lunch-time (Sat), we went out for our first meal for over 6 months. Had a lovely lunch in Nino's in Market Square. It's so nice to be able to walk there and back, even though it started to rain on our return. Who Cares!

The next milestone will be driving - next week all being well, then the big one! back on the bike, but that won't be for a while yet. I bought a new saddle at the beginning of August, but haven't been able to use it yet. The footpath going past us goes up river (West) to Goring and beyond, Round and down the Kennet & Avon canal (South West) to Newbury or down stream (East) through Sonning to Henley - and not a hill in sight!
