Wednesday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day you cut yourself quite badly and ended up having it checked by the hospital. We are grateful it didn’t need stitches but it could be fixed with steri-strips and a bandage. I’m sure it will get better quickly.
For me, I worked almost 10 hours. When that happens you know I get to do no exercise. The good news is I am taking Friday off to decompress and just rest. The sunrise this morning was pretty spectacular.
Mike had an appointment at 7.30am in Kenilworth to have his car serviced, so he left really early to get to that. I started working at the time he left. He went via Muizenberg and took Prince George Drive only to find police had closed the road half way along. This resulted in a traffic jam of note so he postponed the service and came home.
Today I heard of someone else who was struggling with possible post-Covid fatigue. I sent them the supplements that seem to be making a difference with David. He takes 2 of the CoQ10 a day and 1 B-Complex. I’ve also got him on Zinc and Tumeric supplements which apparently reduce inflammation.
The other funny thing he has included in his recovery is a walking stick! As he says, ‘this is not a fashion statement!’ but it certainly helps to have something to lean on when he needs to walk somewhere. He said he was going to go to Olympia. I said “‘Of course you’ll go there, because you can say, ‘I limp here!'” As you can tell from this conversation, I can take the mickey out of him now because he is feeling better and not on death’s door. We’ve just got to get the message to his legs so they start working. Today he taught for 3 hours and coped well. The Lord has a plan in all of this. Meantime, we are enjoying spending a lot of time with him and the days are finding a rhythm of us seeing David for breakfast and dinner. I sometimes stop by his place as well just to say hi and see how he’s doing.
The day ended with dinner and then another episode of Poirot.
And now it’s time for bed.
Psalm 79:9
Help us, God our Savior, for the glory of your Name; deliver us and forgive our sins
for your Name’s sake.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran, xx 🙂
