Yay it’s a Saturday. Yay. Actually it’s 04:35 on a Saturday. Hmm. Ah well. What is time anyway? Picked up my device in bed to do stuff and realised I look at very few sites nowadays. FB, BBC and Guardian. The beeb is mostly for the sport.
For something to do I just removed a few apps from my homescreen. Don’t need the NHS covid travel pass and only use eurostar once or twice a year. Doesn’t warrant giving it space on the front page. The Gett taxi app very rarely gets used. At some stage I should go through all my apps and uninstall those I never use. Trouble is there are a few pub apps in there for ordering to table that can be handy. Uninstalling them might mean having to reinstall at some point. Not a biggie I suppose especially if I’ve not been in for a year or two as will mostly be the case.
Now listening to the world service. If this was during the day I wouldn’t listen to this stuff. Content for content’s sake. “some people really love coriander”. Just heard that line. I’ll turn it off.
Picked up the fox on the external greenhouse cam at 5:23am. Just as I was looking at the app. Quite cool to see him live. The lake cam footage will have to wait. That’s a less sophisticated system. Lake cam footage now available.
Thought for the day was all about light. Started with seasonal light disorder and then deteriorated into biblical quotes. Twas only then I realised it was thought for the day. All about bringing light into people’s lives. Ok. My device, which was playing the Today Programme on Radio 4 was in the pocket of my dressing gown and, walking along with my crutches, it was inconvenient to reach for the phone and turn it off. I don’t listen to thought for the day. It is usually pretty dull monotone delivery stuff. Prayer for the cay can be not too bad but that is usually on before we have the wireless switched on. Had to endure it to the end on this occasion but have now switched off the stream. I have the quiet, calm company of THG to enjoy.
As I was lying in bed, creaking it occurred to me that in February of this year I went through the hip replacement process on the right leg and spent a lot of time writing about it, largely out of there being not much else for me to do. So now it is possible to look back on this same stage of the recovery and see how I was getting on then. The day of the op was 11th Feb cf 28th October this time. If the op was Day 0 then we are at Day 4 now which would have been 15th Feb for op1. I’ve left a link in the comments section if you are interested in comparing the two experiences. Seems to be the thing to do, apaz.
My posts from February do describe progress, eg how far I could bend my leg, so it is something I can look back at to inform me as to when I can expect things to improve this time around
Last time I had the op I took a pic of the xray of the new hip. They wouldn’t let me do it this time citing GPDR. GPDR?!?! It’s my bloody hip. Apaz I have to ask the consultant which will be 6 weeks after the day of the op.
