A Lot Sometimes Happens in a Week

I haven’t blogged in a week, but that’s a good thing.

Last Thursday I got my hair cut.  The local community transport picked me up and brought me home, and in between I had an hour’s pampering.  It was exhausting (yes, being pampered can be exhausting when you have ME!) but it felt so good.  It was even cheaper than normal thanks to redeeming some loyalty point, and I even managed to get a natural styling product that I’m OK with free.  Bonus!  I hasten to add I didn’t realise I’d not been charged until I got home.

On Friday I had to go to the surgery to see the nurse, and afterwards I went to Sainsbury’s and used one of their disability scooters to be able to get around the store to get the prescription made up.  Again, this was all exhausting, but I certainly couldn’t have done this without using the scooter.

On Saturday my family and I went to the O2 Arena in London to see the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour.  Dad had won tickets at work for us to be in one of the hospitality suites.  This was a truly enjoyable day, and exhausting despite my crutches, all the assistance my family gave me on the journeys there and back, and the wheelchair assistance that was provided once we arrived at the venue.

I have been resting ever since, and will be taking it extremely easy all this month, apart from one night out for Dad’s birthday in one week’s time.  That reminds me, I must buy him a present.  Oops!
