I did my first work on the 7th (made a mistake and said 14th), I took a bit too much on and overdid it. So since then I have been taking very easy. At the same time work has been quite slack which has been quite useful. On Monday I shifted six boxes of flowers from Hayes to Feltham. Now these are not run of the mill type of boxes of flowers that are delivered by the Interflora people, there are about four foot long and eight inches square (usually strapped together in pairs). I had no problem carrying (only half of it) into the delivery point.

So it looks like I am well on the way to be well and fit again.

I went for another walk today, with Colin and the dog to the Semaphore Tower on Wisley Common. I stormed up the hill with virtually no problems. I was a little puffed when I got to the top unlike Colin who was shattered. This was unusual, as he is the one that used to hang around waiting for me to catch my breath.

So I am now getting very keen on my new found energy levels. I’m looking forward to getting back to work now. Tomorrow I am off to the hospital for the anticoagulation clinic. I have phoned them to say that I have been through this and only need a blood test for my INR levels. I have been told that as I have had an ‘incident’, they need to review everything.

I decided to walk down to the chemist to pickup my prescription. Taking the dog with me, we had a very good walk. I got the prescription and walked home.

Mum was a bit concerned that I would ring her up and she would have to come and collect me. As it was she was very surprised that I was back so quickly.

I got only slightly puffed but otherwise I felt really good.
