Started week off with a terrific trip to Newgale on a scorcher of a day. Enjoyed 2 long walks to each end of the beach. Have never seen Newgale so busy - well it was the Bank Holiday |

New visit to Aberaeron, which is very picturesque near the harbour but not so nice walking along the top of beach. |

Have felt quite deflated occasionally this week. Not so many calls from friends. Trying to do a little more to test my mental and physical fitness now. Still using face toner – up to 3 hours by end of week. |

Had good acupuncture session on Tuesday. Seemed to have quite a few needles on my face today especially above the eye (I think) - none in feet this week. Felt really relaxed during treatment but quite emotional during the evening. |

Mum had college all day Thursday so I decided to test my independence and caught bus into town. Wandered around for an hour doing some shopping then got bus home. That was plenty mentally & physically! In case I have not mentioned this before I have made up my mind that although I do feel very self conscious about the patch over my eye, I feel better when I look people in the eye & speak or smile. There is no need to hide behind this patch. I’m not sure which is easier - seeing strangers or friends! Although I did see some friends before I came to Wales. They saw me at my worst! I think friends, at least they know me as a person & know what I’ve been through. They will treat me as normal (I hope!) & I won’t have to keep talking about
my recovery. We’ll just have normal conversations and a few laughs. Still not sure about going on the p*ss though! Can you imagine after a few glasses of wine your face packing up! Will it? I will either have to ask or experiment for myself as my godmother suggested! (Some godmother huh?!) Am feeling stronger in many ways but am thrown every so often when I realise just how little control I have over my legs! Have started to feel quite low this week. Poor mum has been picking up the pieces as usual. I would never have got this far without her support. Thanks mum! |
