Rest and Recuperation

I usually look like a bit like this.


More recently I have looked more like this.


I have a pic of some cutting detail but I have filed that away.

I had a word with my pal Archie but he didn't answer.


I did a bit of studying.


I think I have the proportions correct but my emphasis is wrong.

Check me out again in a week, or is it three weeks?

    1. If I take it much easier I think I would wither away.

  2. Jim,

    Hopefully you'll be well on your way to feeling better in less than three weeks.

    Have you had a chance to do any painting yet?

    All the best,

    Bob

    1. My wave of earlier optimism has been dashed ashore in pieces of jetsam and flotsam.

      I did a trivial amount of painting a day or two ago so not really any progress.

    2. Jim,

      Even a trivial amount is better than I have managed!

      All the best,

      Bob

    3. Maybe so Bob but my expectations are bigger than my modest achievements so far.

    1. If I am getting better it is in tiny increments.

      I get the rest of my stitches out tomorrow and a chat with my GP, maybe that will improve things.

  4. Tiny increments are better than no increments... hopefully the increments will get bigger quickly.

  5. Recuperation takes as long as it takes! Just be a Patient patient!

    1. Just ramped up my painkillers to include Tramadol as the investigation found a very localised pain which shouldn't be there.

    1. As it happens Archie is in a poorer state than I am. He's a not well dog and is not allowed to run free off the lead and I am not allowed to walk him without an escort.

  10. Jim, you will find that you have good days and then a bad one or two. Usually I find after some exertion I need to rest. It odesnt mean sleeping, but maybe a bit of reading or painting. Small steps and all that.Best of luck.

    1. Small steps, baby steps, oh so slow slow slow.

      The painkillers tend to knock me out anyway so staying awake is a challenge.
