Hello people. Lots happier now. Got breakfast in bed, and then got taken out for the day.
First of all we hired a shopmobility wagon. Now this is something you probably think is very old ladyish. However I found if you put your crutches in the clips on the sides, they look like machine guns, and then if you turn it up to level 10 and go manically over bumps at speed, it is the best fun possible with SPD, believe me. I literally laughed until I wept. Over and over again. My only regret was that I did not have Nutty in another one by my side doing it in tandem with me, like disabled and heavily pg cowboys yelling yeee-hah.
I then got taken to a fab and trendy restaurant for lunch and had a glass of Chablis with it. DH had discovered a brand new spa near the restaurant and treated me to an hour long 'Biarritz' pedicure which involved sitting in a specially heated massage chair and soaking my feet in a jacuzzi thing. Then they did my cuticles etc and painted my toenails nicely pink. I actually fell asleep, it was so relaxing. I had a massage as well, lying on my side, and then they did my nails pink to match my feet. I fell asleep then as well. DH apparently had some sort of man wrap followed by a massage, and was almost comatose with endorphines afterwards. I asked him 'What did you have then?' and he just murmured 'Dunno ... ' and smiled, as he had practically lost the powers of speech.
DH then found us a funky bar that only opened last week, and I had a glass of champagne and some tapas with him. The bar had a lovely atmosphere and the food was outstanding.
We then came home because this is the longest I have been out for months. Then the best bit. DH and I had a little carnal knowledge to celebrate me cheering up (sans thrusting because of the issues last weekend), and I got the surprise of my life. My SPD appears to have vanished!!! Well not completely, but I went to the bathroom afterwards and suddenly realised I was walking normally and the pain had totally gone. I walked around the bedroom a few times and it had still gone. I then went down the stairs to test things out, and it was still gone. I then RAN up the stairs just for the novelty of it, and it twinged a bit at the back but was really just like being normally 8 months pg. At that point DH said I was scaring him and could I please stop before it came back and I got stuck and hurt myself.
Anyway, whether it is increased blood flow to the area or the baby curling up smaller, or something to do with the bones clicking into a good position I don't know, but I am very pleased about it nonetheless.
