 ATTENPT 2 to compose a post having accidentally deleted the first one.

I was released from hospital on Monday into the care of the Early Release Stroke Team who said I had to have my bed in the kitchen and only use the stairs to the next floor where my computer, sewing stuff and craft stuff are when watched by my son.These stone steps are the steepest in the house son I'm baffled why I have to learn to safely traverse these first. My mother is also here 'to be a help'. She's keeping me supplied with hot drinks  but hanging around to see if I need help in getting dressed ( only with my left sock and shoes which are one of Jamie's jobs as he's much stronger than Mum and brute strength comes in useful with this job). Thanks to my habit of cruising around the furniture, I have been promoted from a walking frame to a crutch.No more powered chair but Jamie and favourite drinking partner are between them taking me anywhere I want in the push wheelchair. Mother of the team leader of the Early Release Team saw me in the pub on Thursday (pub quiz) and joined the thong kindly and carefully making sure I came to no harm in the Queens. I love living in a village.I'm trying to get out and about as the weather is gorgeous. I've worried a couple of times that I might have committed to mote than I can do but so far I have  safely managed there and back, up and down. Tomorrow, I get to watch son, daughter and her partner, paddle boarding at Wastwater. 
Persephone the cat is very pleased to have me home and is keeping a close eye on me. She's being fractionally friendlier to others as they are feeding her until such time as I can bend over that far without landing on my nose and being unable to get up again.
i've thoroughly enjoyed reading all the latest Biggles stories.I won't be commenting as my mother is keeping too close an eye on me and she reads over my shoulder but I've been very entertained by them, thank you

Thank you. I'm very pleased to be back home, although I'm missing the nurses who used to remake my bed around me when I go particularly tangled up and especially the one who would physically straighten me up when returning me to my bed.i have more spoilt princess in me than I thought.

I'm so glad you had some Biggles entertainment while you're convalescing! And that you have many helping hands :)

I'm rather enjoying all my helping hands Not sure I want to return to doing everything for myself

I’m glad to hear that things are going okay and you’ve got help at home - and for the important stuff like getting to the pub to see your friends! Here’s to a speedy and full recovery <3

Thank you. An unexpected day at home as forecast thunderstorms stopped the paddleboarding plan.I'm supposed to be cooking tonight to prove that I still can,but I feel a takeout order coming on.

We've got thunderstorms in the area here too, I'm keeping a wary eye on the sky and hoping my laundry gets dry before anything shows up. I'd like the rain, my lawn's brown and dying, but I want to get the washing in before it hits...

Getting takeout ought to count as proving you're able to get food for yourself!
