Dad's doing great! I took a mid afternoon run around the golf course, which was easier than I was expecting from yesterday but not as easy as it should have been. Lots of families with dogs out.
Went to see the Guilty Feminist in Manchester in the evening, and ate a tasty curry. Good day.

We weren't allowed to call till 10.30 today so went to Keelham Farm Shop and then I ran back to Jen's. I was super tired today but it was nice to be moving on beautiful familiar ground, and good that it was mostly downhill! I was so tired that I converted pounds to kilos the wrong way in my head at the Farm Shop and ended up with 2 kilos of sausages instead of half a kilo. We now have a new family joke and I've been happy to be the cause of light relief on a tough couple of days.
When we called at 10.30 they said Dad was doing great and ready to be discharged in the afternoon. He was looking fantastic when we arrived despite very little sleep, and after I was taught how to do the blood thinner injection we were out of there. Everyone very happy and relieved. I'm going to join Dad in taking some time out for myself the next couple of weeks too I think!
Up early to take Dad in to the BRI. He was whisked into surgery before 8am and in recovery two hours later, and was stable within ten minutes of coming out of anaesthesia. Of course this is the NHS so we didn't know that till 3pm. So some worried walking around Chellow Dean and then heading home for a bit. Very glad it all went smoothly, and left Dad in the hospital at 7pm before coming home and collapsing.
Mostly a traveling day. Nice flight, actually made it to deep sleep for the first time ever on a flight according to the Garmin. Walked from Paddington to Kings Cross, then got the train to Bingley, meeting Mum and Dad in Leeds. Quiet evening in with the whole family before a welcome night's sleep.

I was tired and decided to just jog slowly and see how far I got, and the answer was Snickers.

Oh man, totally turning into a yoga person. Today's was mostly focussed on breathing and almost meditation, and it felt rejuvenating rather than boring.
Less rushed gym session - mostly upper body - fun but tough!

Very stressful day doing the financials of the grant I'm sending off. It got done but Rob took me to the Fells to calm down afterwards. It was cold and rainy and totally great.
