It's Saturday and the forecast is 26 degrees and sunny. Today the doctors are letting me out of this prison to go for a walk in the park next door........ FREEDOM!!!!!
Come about 2pm I finally got off all the drips had a shower and Dave and I headed across to the park. After struggling up 5 steps to get some cash out at the ATM we headed over to the park. Our destination was a cafe which apparently is in the center of the park so we started walking around.
The one thing I quickly noticed was how much fitness I had lost. Walking up a path which may be on a 1% incline felt like I was walking up a massive mountain. After a bit of walking and a few breaks sitting on the chairs we finally found the cafe (funny enough it was in the center of the park).
Dave and I got a seat outdoors in the sun and ordered some food and drinks. I ordered a hot chocolate, dave got a coffee and we shared a vanilla and a caramel slice... yummmm.
Currently in my arms I have tubes hanging out which is where the nurses pump me full of liquids. You would think with that in my arms most people wouldn't ask you to do to much. Apparently I was wrong, whilst having our afternoon tea I was asked to mind someone's baby and take photo's of a family. I'm sure if I had no hair they wouldn't have asked me to do those things.
Finally I decided it would be an idea to get back to the hospital. The walk back was very challenging and by the time I got back to my room I was totally exhausted. Mel and Simon came not long after and I'm sure I wasn't that entertaining since I was so tired (Sorry Mel and Simon).
It was a good day, hopefully my fitness comes back quickly when I am healthy.
