As a wonderfully relaxing weekend draws to a close, I am grateful for H’s company, being looked after, being pampered, being able to catch up uninterrupted (thanks to grandparents for looking after H’s small people) being able to be totally comfortable just chilling in our PJs.

I’m still surprised though that even when I’ve done nothing all weekend I’ve still got some pinching and unable to sleep properly – when will I be able to do normal things? Have enough energy to do whatever I wish? How long will it take for the tissue to settle down?
