Nicky...it’s SO good to hear from you. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking of you. Hang in there and know that many people you’ve never met are wishing you well. xxoo Stew

“wishing you were here” cards are a dime a dozen. “wishing i were there” cards are as scarce as hens teeth.

just want to say (ever the nagging nurse) take your sweet time, nickyskye - just coast along. force nothing on yourself.

pleased as punch to read your surgical wounds have enjoyed uncomplicated healing… major milestone, not to be underestimated.

the soft tissue damage to your shoulders from the unnatural workout on the OT table will resolve, cold comfort right now, so consider having gentle therapeutic massage (to your shoulders) and some passive exercising of your upper limbs. let someone else do that work for you. you (alone) will be compensating in your arm movements (guarding against pain and discomfort). catch 22. a competent local therapeutic massager - not averse to four flights of stairs - may be of value right now. 

find things to bask in - music? - until sleep finds you again. do you have a comfortable chair by a sunny window, somewhere delightful to loaf? it may induce the deep sleep you need.

thinking of you
love and best wishes
