Baby foals!
Momentous occasion - today I took my first steps unaided for a week! It looked a little bit like this:
Only I did it while there was no-one watching, in case they felt the urge to nudge me in the bottom with their nose. And then after a step or two I looked a bit more like this:
Sadly I never progressed to galloping which probably these foals were doing after about 15 mins, but I was still impressed with myself. It was surprisingly scary attempting to put the weight fully on my left hip...and after the event I felt quite tearful and overwhelmed...but after a nice long nap I perked up again! I have slept more this week than any week in my life I reckon...and in all sorts of positions. I am so grateful that I have always been a good sleeper...anyone who can fall asleep during take-off on a plane has a lot to be thankful for! I am also incredibly grateful that I sorted out the super-steep staircase in my house last year, so that I am actually able to get up to my bed with crutches. And that when I bought my new sofas, I had the foresight to predict continuing hip problems and bought reclining ones. I seriously don't know what I'd have done without them...I can only sit in a fully upright position for about 15 mins before I get very uncomfortable, so the reclining chairs have been incredible!
One of the jobs my parents brought with them this week, was sorting through old photos from the loft...I just want to share one with you which shows what amazing hips I used to have:
Maybe I'll be doing this in a few more weeks....
