Thea's Thinkings: Lately | I'm trying my best

Lately | I'm trying my best

6 Comments

Hi guys!

It's almost the end of my second week following hip surgery. By now I'm sure you've heard me mention it enough times (here, and here!) but as I'm pretty immobile at the moment its at the forefront of my mind most of the time.

On a positive note I'm doing pretty well. My stitches came out on Monday, a lot of the pain has gone and day by day I can tell the stiffness is fading which is really good news. But I'm also trying to be realistic. I had a consolation with my Physiotherapist for the first time yesterday and the reality is things are going to take much more time than I'd hoped. We're looking at many many more months before I'm back to normal.

I'm telling you this not for sympathy but just because I really want to be honest with you. I'm trying my very hardest to keep on top of things and do my best to stick to my blogging schedule. With everything that's happened I'm not doing terribly but my usual 4 posts a week hasn't been happening.

In reality the reason I'm writing a little less is not because of pain or anything like that but being as immobile as I am at the moment makes it really challenging to do anything worth documenting, or even something as simple as taking a photo. I'm on crutches so holding a camera is not easy.

Really, I just don't want to be cheating you with poor posts or terrible photos because I'm struggling to move. So I wanted you to know I'm trying my hardest. When I can I'll be posting as often as I can but I don't want to rush anything and give you a half finished version of something.

That means that sadly some of the posts I'd intended to do this season are going to have to be re-thought, or changed but hopefully as the new year comes around things will begin to return to normal.

This is going to be a long recovery but I'm doing everything I can to keep some sort of normal life in the mean time.

I hope you understand and can stick by me through this. I really appreciate all your patience!!

If you have any fun stories, anecdotes, Youtube videos or anything like that you want to pass on to help me pass the time please feel free to share them in the comments! It would make my day.

Thank you!
