First thing's first, the Stanmore Sex Pest was arrested yesterday and taken away. As far as I know, both the hospital and the lady are pressing charges against him and he admitted to getting his penis out. Yikes.
Yesterday was pretty hectic, what with the arrest and the police around the ward, but in general too. I've got the hang of the stretches now; I learnt that if I don't do the reaching ones or the bending down ones that I feel ok after. So I'm really getting the hang of that side of things!
The bedroom posture session with occupational therapy was fantastic too, and I have a pillow to take home to try. It's one of those really expensive memory foam pillows that is a bit like quicksand (the real stuff that's wet) but it springs back really slowly! It's like sleeping on hard bread dough, but it's really comfortable. I tried it last night and it's wonderful, so I can't wait to try it tonight at home!
Yesterday afternoon was swimming (finally) and I loved it! I tried to do as much as I would normally in the pool, but I ended up injuring myself (I hurt my knee) so I'm an absolute mess today. The porters took over an hour to collect me from the pool (which was really annoying) so I was quite late for dinner.
Dinner itself was supposed to be a salmon, cucumber and mayo sandwich, but ended up as steamed salmon steak with cabbage and potatoes in a cheese and herb sauce. It wasn't terrible it just wasn't what I had expected. The girls (well, the queen bee and her loyal guard) had ordered pizza, without telling the rest of the girls, or the boys, so we were all feeling a bit put out when we got thrown the leftovers! I managed to grab a slice and it tasted SO GOOD, but then again, ANYTHING would've tasted amazing after eating the abysmal hospital food for 4 nights.
In the evening I called home and had a chat with mum as I had a walk in the cold to try and walk off the pain (as sometimes I can't ignore it and it tries to take over) and I went to the restaurant. I bought a couple of bottles of Mountain Dew and some crisps and walked back. I felt ok once I got back, but my neck started to ache just before bed. When I woke up this morning though, I could certainly feel it. My legs are so sore.
I had some painkillers this morning with my 'breakfast' of normal pills, so I feel a bit groggy and rough at the moment (good thing I'm home) I have some exercises and things to do from the physio this weekend, but for the moment, I would like to sleep, then play some videogames!
Yay, home!
