I am preparing to leave the house under my own power (being carried out does not count) in over a week. I am starting physiotherapy up at the hospital and my first appointment is this afternoon. I am slightly frightened of the outside world omg looking forward to it.

In other news, for no apparent reason, I have been overdosing on science websites of late. I have learned many interesting things. For example, the Big Bang? Probably made a sound that was more like a deep hum. There's an audio file. Other sounds of space may be heard here.

Oh so cool.

Also this morning, I made a cake. I am concerned that the icing is too sweet, though. The cake itself turned out great. Go me.

Glad you are convalescing! I worry.

I am getting better. I am prohibited, both by my doctor and now by the physiotherapist, from sitting for "longer than it takes to eat or go to the bathroom" for the near future. Instead, I am to either lie down (back, front, side, whatever) or stand. Some walking is also encouraged.

I am even mostly off the painkillers and muscle relaxants now. I take painkillers first thing in the morning, because I wake up stiff, and muscle relaxants last thing before bed, because otherwise the pull of my lower back would wake me up. All the inbetween times, though, I am now happily drug free.

I appreciate the good wishes -- thank you!
