In my wisdom I thought it would be good to go shopping and get a start on my Christmas shopping.
My Mum and Dad took me to East Kilbride and we hired out a wheelchair, which I hated the thought of.
We got to Boots and I wanted to have a wander myself so I got out the wheelchair and picked up a few pressies, very quickly though I became tired and sore and as my bag was too heavy to carry I just had my purse - but of course I had put my painkillers in my bag! So I was really panicking.
I made my purchases and almost dived in the wheelchair - we made friends.
Got another few things and then I was utterly desperate to get home. Poor Mum and Dad didn't know what to do for the best - I'm saying I'm ok when clearly by looking at my pale face I wasn't.
I feel like my recovery is going well but here today is a perfect example of my brain saying " Yay go for it" and my body saying "Get real!"
Looks like I will need to content myself with some online Christmas shopping for now.
