I’ve had a few messages asking how I’m going, so I thought I’d do another update. It’s been 3 weeks tomorrow (Thursday) since my accident and I’m doing a lot better. But I’m not fully recovered.
I tried to go back to my cleaning job last Thursday. Just a small 2 hour clean. On the way home my car broke down (twice😩). By the time I got home I was wrecked and felt like I might pass out. I realised it was too soon to be back to work. It was always just a test. An easy tiny house clean to test the waters. And by the time I got home I knew it was too much and I really tanked that afternoon and evening in a big way.
2 days later we went to Warwick to get out with our friends who stayed the weekend. I slept most of the drive and my body was totally wrecked when I got home. I walked in the house and went straight to bed for a few hours hoping to make it to my mother-in-laws birthday dinner at the RSL. I made it, but it was definitely a push and I’ve only left the house once since (yesterday for an early morning blood test).
I’m still very much in recovery. I can do things around the house but I have to rest lots. I’m happy to be with the kids having chill days homeschooling. A lot of the time the kids just sit on my bed with me and ask for help as needed. But, all day today I’ve pushed through neck and shoulder pain and a headache. Not a migraine. But a strange “my-head’s-just-not-the-same” kind of headache. I’m communicating fine for the most part but I find I sometimes have to stop and think a bit longer to find words and I become exhausted pretty quickly talking to people.
Im so grateful my clients have been so understanding. I have to tell you, there isn’t a day my mind isn’t thinking about the galleries I have waiting and I’m desperate to get them edited for my clients, but also for my ability to make some income. But unfortunately, it’s just too hard to focus. I’m so grateful for my clients who have been so patient in waiting while I recover! And this isn’t forever. I will be fully recovered soon!
Thank you for checking in and asking how I am. I really appreciate it. I’m grateful that healing is happening, even if it’s slower than I’d like ❤️
