Sunday 30th October (clocks went back today)

I was looking forward to my extra hour in bed but it turned out to be a nightmare. I went to bed at 11*35 and lay there and was nearly asleep when I got cramp in my leg I moved and upset my back got that in a position where it didnt hurt and my finger started to throb. After that my back went again and then my earring was too tight. Then I had to get up to go to the toilet and when I got back into bed my back was bad again.This went on all night and I havent had a wink of sleep. I feel realy washed out this morning. We were going out on our bikes but now we are going tomorrow instead. So lets hepe I get a better night tonight. forgotto say Ialso got indgesgeon in the middle of the night and had to get up for a tablet.

Saturday 29 th of October.

I had a nice day yesterday, Iturboed it the morning maneging to do an hour and in the afternoon my daughter came round and took me to the local garden centre.All thier Christmas things were up so we went round them first and then to the cafe for a drink.We both had a milk shakeand it was delish! Its the second time I have drunk anything out since my stroke. I had to take my mask off and felt very nervous but it was ok, and I didnt choke or dribble. After that we went round the plants and finnaly the Christmas cards, it was a nice afternoon. We my daughter dropped me back home one of our neighbours was on the drive, we saw him a few weeks ago when we were out walking. He said he could see a great improvment in my face and I looked beautiful.I think that was taking it a bit far as I wont ever be beautiful ever again, but it was good for my ego.

Still Thursday

Well I have just finished a rideon the turbo trainer. We didnt go out on our bikes becuse Hubby is still feeling dizzy.But it turned out for the best becuse it started to rain here at 2 minutes past10 and we wouldnt have gone out on our bikes anyway. Its now 11.30 and its still raining. When I finished my ride (12.8 miles ) H made us both a cup of hot chocolate. He then taped up my face and has gone up to do an hours excersize himself.While he is up there I am going to do my leg exersizes. When he comes down we are having chicken soup for lunch.

I got up this morning at 6 20 and did my exercises. Then I sat and waited for H to get up. Yesterday he had awful vertigo and could hardly stand.I hope he is better this morning because we are supposed to be going out on our bikes. I have done 3 rides outside since my stroke and it is very scary. Ive fallen off each time. If is is wet today I will ride indoors on Zwift. Yesterday I didnt do a ride because we went shopping and when I hung out my washing and did some gardening. H now came downstaires and so far si feeling such better. So its looks as if we might be going out.

I had got 2 people coming round to see me today 1 this morning adn 1 this afternoon. The first one was a speach theopist and that went well and the second one was physio that went well too.This morning I did a load of washing and hung it out myself.
