If you live alone, what’s a typical day?

I think that it can take a long time to recover from surgery and you should try not to worry about your current period of idleness.

After my first op I felt like you and every day the nurse that came in to change my dressing told me to relax. There is nothing wrong with watching tv, apart from finding something you actually want to watch.

You should get your mojo back soon and also volunteering.

Good luck

Oh yes and far too much time on my phone! I seem to be addicted to Instagram and know I need to limit it.

I’m 67 and it’s just me and the dog. My daughter lives close by but I don’t have grandchildren (yet.) I like my own company but have been feeling a bit aimless recently as I’m recovering from surgery and am not as active as usual.
A normal day would be two dog walks, meet friends, chores and a bit of shopping.
Interspersed with reading and in the evening a good series/film on TV.
I’m hoping to do volunteering for Age UK and in my local cathedral.
I do feel I spend too much time being idle though and am experiencing the occasional feeling of loneliness.
How do you single ladies pass your time? Do you ever feel lonely?
