Glad to hear that it sounds as though the procedure went well. May you recover now in leaps and bounds. (Possibly not the best phraseology) Ceri

Thanks Ceri, let’s hope leaps and bounds won’t be far off (though maybe not this weekend 😳😂) xx

Oh my goodness. Those prawns look to die for!! Glad to hear you’re home safe and sound, new hip in situ. I’m going to try the playlist when I’m struggling for sleep 🩵

We are thinking of you and hoping that you will be in the out of pain part and into the walking like a pro part very soon.

It has been such a joy having Thea here with us she is a delight. You and Mike have lots to be proud of.

Much love, J&C

Thanks so much Cath, I’ve been very good at both physio and resting over the weekend (really quite enjoying the afternoon sleeps!). Thea is clearly having a wonderful time, you’ve been so good to her, thank you 💕💕

It’s good to hear your hip op is done and that you’re making good progress Vanessa! I have a feeling two hours resting every afternoon would do me the world of good too but as it is I barely sleep in bed let alone anywhere else - I’ve downloaded your sleep music in the hope of a miracle..!

Thank you… 🙏🏽

And I’ll definitely be trying that prawn recipe… even my fussy hubby likes prawns..!😅

Rest well and often lovely…xxxx

Another bonus (I discovered last night) is that binaural sounds seem to counteract the snoring to my right 🙌🏻

I've been thinking about you this week! Must have been tuning into the fact that you need a big heal well hug!

Also, finally figured out my substack password so I can comment and like!

Biology of Belief is a wonderful book — enjoy. And hopefully see you soon xx

A healing hug is just what I need! Think I may listen to B of B on audible - worried it’s a bit scientific for me 😂

Great news you’re home!! Rest up and enjoy the rest. I do hope the pain eases off soon. I am happy to be a Guinea pig reiki client… I have had it a few times and can highly recommend! I’d love to learn to do it too!
