Just three more boxes of blood thinners to go, 10 needles in each box, two injections each day. 15 days to go.
Can't tell you how much I loath having to give myself these shots but proud to have overcome my fear of needles.

I don't wear items to tell you who's in my bed.
I wear so the family across the street knows they are safe.
So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone.
So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge.
I wear them because some people want to make them hide.

Morning folks - I'm looking forward to being able to go outside and have my hair cut.
Feels like I am going to look like Grizzly Adams by the time that happens.
Without the blond highlights of course.

10 years ago, out with the Lambeth Hate Crime Stall (which I created) whilst working for Lambeth Council as their Hate Crime Prevention Coordinator.
I loved touring Lambeth's Libraries with the stall, talking to people about their experiences and encouraging them to seek advice and support.

Yay the odd socks are finally back.
For those that don't know my partner N had a stroke the week before our 5th anniversary back in September.
Like a pair of socks we have been separated from each other - so until we are reunited I am wearing odd socks and wishing him better.

Good to finally get the cast off & be able to shower without what looks like a leg condom.
Ankle swollen, bruised & the skin is a bit dry so I need to pamper it until it heals.
Want to get a hair and beard trim but will need to wait a few more weeks until I can safely venture out.

Following Friday's surgery I had to have the cast redone as it was digging in at the heal.
Hopefully this one will do the trick.

I've downloaded an image of the White House flying the national flag at half-mast in respect of President Carter.
He embodied everything one would expect of a great world leader - so unlike the Trump taking office.
Going to be busy updating my social media covers for the 20th. Roll on 2029.

Struck a good relationship with the catering staff here at Lewisham Hospital.
Desert options - hot pud, ice-cream, Jello, piece of fruit.
I always ask for Vanilla ice-cream and chuck a jello.
What's your favourite flavor?

The fortune cookie called it - I finally had my surgery on Friday, 6th time lucky after 5 cancellations. Glad to be back on the ward from recovery. Ankle aches but the pain meds are good.

Been at Lewisham Hospital since the 6th Jan waiting for an operation to fix my ankle following a fall - 5 ops cancelled so far - will Friday be my lucky day? Fingers crossed.
