Still Recovering


My back is still recovering and my left leg is still gimpy.

It has been 11 days today, still early days. Recovery from a herniated disc can take up to 8 weeks but I am confident that I will make a full (or near full) recovery in another week or two (or even three).

Mum is now comfortable with food delivery and this is a positive development. In fact yesterday, she called me after eating her meal to give me a food review hah..hah...

But today, I decided to go visit her (after resting for the past 3 days). I also brought some small groceries and toiletries for her. My leg felt looser and not so fatigued though I still limped.


The air quality is very bad. The buildings far ahead looked as if they were enveloped in fog. I wore a mask and since I walked much slower than my normal pace, I was able to breathe easier.


On my walk back to the office, I bumped into this cute kittie.


The kittie was very shy and ran back to the car porch.


I saw this pot with a single pink bloom.


Lovely!


This was at the next house. Also very pretty.


And the house next to it. Two tiny pink roses.


I could not get a better angle to snap this rose due to my bad back.


I proceeded to Rice & Pot Empire for lunch.


This time I had the version with dumplings with add-on pork belly and fried pork patty. The soup was tomato based and today the soup was diluted. 


Then I walked to The Starling not for my post meal walk (can't do that due to my gimpy leg) but because I wanted to go to Jaya Grocer to buy coffee.


The travel fair is on again.


The Signature Tours.


Well, those who can afford the money and time can get a good deal at these fairs.


Have a great weekend everyone! I will be home, doing my cold pack treatment and maybe some light housekeeping.

I remembered what my doctor told me years ago (my first herniated disc experience) - in recovery, don't be a good housewife. If the house is messy, let it be messy. LOL!
