After perusing my tbr for something to read alongside the final volume of The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman I've alighted upon this from Barbara Pym. I've had this alongside a few other novels by Ms Pym for some years but up to now I've not indulged. So I thought why not?

Listening to Salome by Richard Strauss whilst massaging E45 cream into one's hip replacement scar is exactly the right vibe for a dull, wet Friday night in Wales.

Starting one's day picking dried super glue away from an operation scar is not something I had ever imagined happening but nevertheless.

That was quick! I am home once more and my consultant is very happy with my progress. I just need to keep on keeping on. In his own words "You're doing very well. I don't need to worry about you."
Huzzah!! Cataract op up next in December.

Stuff they don't tell you about recuperation from total hip replacement surgery.
It takes a long time.
You get a very sore tail bone from uncomfortable seating arrangements.
Your wrists get progressively more and more painful from using crutches.
It's boring and lonely.

Another small success on the road to recovery this morning when I walked to my local pharmacy to get my flu jab. Now I'm sore but pleased with myself.

The latest time absorber from my tbr. I'm fond of Andrew Miller's writing and having read most of his previously published novels I have high hopes that this will not disappoint.

Another tiny bit of progress this morning in the form of my being able to return my rug to it's rightful place on the floor of my sitting room. Hurray!
I've been able to cut back on painkillers too.

Another tiny milestone reached for me today when I managed to negotiate descending and then ascending the thirteen steps to and from street level to my flat for the first time since the op.
Now I'm sat sitting with an ice pack on my hip feeling sore but pleased.

A celebratory day tomorrow when thanks to a much loved friend I get to put my speakers back in situ.
I don't need quite so much room to negotiate around my sitting room now I can get about a little on one crutch. Hooray!!
