Recovery Day 10

I haven’t posted for a few days, mainly because I have been in bed, ill, for the whole time. This is the first day I have actually been able to sit up in bed, let alone get up. I’ve also stayed away from immi as I have had a temperature and blinding migraine and pressure in my head/neck, so whatever I had I obviously didn’t want to pass on to her.
Murray has been an absolute rock, looking after us both and keeping everything going. The nurse came to check Immis wound yesterday, apparently it has opened a little at the top which we need to monitor closely and take her to the walk in if it gets worse. She is still very tired and in pain, the neurologist said he doesn’t want her back at school before Christmas, although with her school right next door, we may allow her in for an hour at a time. We won’t do this while the wound is still open though.
If you are a pray-er, please do pray for protection from infection in the wound. I am very aware that’s I am obviously full of germs at the moment and am concerned for her in it all. Also please pray I get better quickly, I don’t remember ever feeling this bad and I have never stayed in bed for 3 days - but I I just haven’t been able to move - has been horrible, but I need to get well!
Finally please pray for Murray’s dad, Andy, who is in hospital in Glasgow after a massive heart attack on Tuesday, they have kept him in and hope to do a valve op, but we don’t know when that will be.
It feels very full on atm, and I feel very easily overwhelmed.
Thank you all for your love and support and if you have messaged or texted over the last few days I’m sorry I haven’t replied, I’ve been totally out of it.
