Better

18/04/24
I took the bandage off the wound today, after the two weeks were up, and was a but shocked to see how big it is. It seems to have healed well, though the soluble stitches are still there.
So off to the sauna I went, to meet daughter and have the first swim for ages, hooray. The tide was quite low, as low as it can get and still be swimmable so it was quite a haul up and down the beach, and probably why I’m so knackered now, almost asleep on the sofa, too tired to get up and go to bed. But it was lush, so good to be back in the sea and on a beautiful sunny day with no wind for once. The sauna is a wooden box, about the size of a horse-box, with a stove and two levels of benches, room for eight, with a big window looking out over the beach and out to sea. Daughter has managed to organize her finances so she has a pass to buy cheaper tickets than I can buy and books me in as well so I’m in for regular saunas now. I hate it while I’m in there – I’m not good with heat – but afterwards it makes e feel so good, so relaxed.
Then it was back to yoga, first time for two weeks as well. Oh, how I love it. I’ve hated being unable to do these things – the sea, the sauna, the yoga – all the body stuff that keeps my mind at peace.
