Same, same and ever so slightly different

Its like taking a train journey from the mountains to the desert. The transition between the two terrains is excitingly different as all the changes come thick and fast. And then its just sand and more sand, in every direction, for days.

I do recognise that my recovery, like the train (in this PROFOUND analogy), is moving forward. My posture is improving, i'm just about off the pain killers, i can walk much greater distances etc.
But its oh so frustratingly slow. Today is below average in terms of nausea, vomiting and fatigue.

However, this week has had its own different milestones. Claudia's extended maternity leave ended this week. She is back to 3 days a week at her GP practise. The fact that she has had so much time for the children throughout my entire treatment has been a huge blessing. Louis is now going with Max to nursery for 2 days each week and in due course i will be looking after the boys on Fridays as my strength improves.
