Good morning family and friends on a glorious, crisp, chilly morning. Winter is definitely flexing her muscles and I for one am thoroughly enjoying the drop in temperatures.
There is a lot going on behind the scenes family wise with BigBear landing two incredible work contracts, well done son. Princess now has a definite way forward with regard to her knee. Eventually she got an appointment with a very highly recommended Orthopedic Surgeon who, after an MRI diagnosed a torn inner miniscule. This has led to chronic pain which absolutely nothing helps with. She is not booked for surgery on the 15th June as they have had to take mid year exams into account. She will then spend three months in a leg brace and all the necessary physio. Poppet, Big Guy, Jelly Bean and all the rest of us are well and working hard, that seems to be the way life is currently.
I managed to ditch my cold Praise God, and had a busy week within the house. I mentioned last week that we had ordered couch covers and am delighted with them. All three are now covered and it makes the room look so tidy and even classy. Definitely a project ahead with scatter cushions and finding a rug to break the grey. I also took the plunge and managed to find a new tablet, my iPad was coming a very rapid end. It was mainly for this Blog and obviously everything else I do. Typing the Blog on a phone was great fun haha.....not!
Tomorrow I begin the next stage on my journey to 'normality' and have to be the hospital at 9 am for my exchange surgery. This is where they will remove the expanders and replace them with implants, they will also do fat grafting to get everything looking as normal as possible. I will be honest and say I am not looking forward to the surgery and ensuing recovery time but, it is just another step on my healing journey.
Yesterday we had the most incredible day as all the CT family joined together at the Bandy Bunch's house. As usual everyone pitched in and the food was phenomenal, Baby Bear's Mom and sister are in town from the Free State and Australia respectively and joined us, it was truly a special day for all the mom's in the family. One vital person was missing and that was Big Guy, oh how I wished I could teleport him just for the day, I miss him so much. It truly was a real family day with much laughter and just good fellowship, thank you guys for being such incredible humans.
Folks that is me for this week, I have a ton of things to get done before tomorrow and need to get busy. I wish you all a blessed week, please stay safe and healthy. Ciao ciao
A glorious view of the mountains.
