Recovery time

 Good morning folks on this crisp, fresh Monday morning, I trust you are all well.  I actually just realised that we are halfway through May and yet again I cannot believe how quickly this year is going. 

Last week really kind of evaporated and I constantly had the feeling I had lost a day - you know when Thursday feels like Wednesday or Friday ?  Quite confusing !  Technically speaking I did lose a day as my surgery was Tuesday, I checked into the hospital at 6.30 in the dark and checked out at about 7 pm in the dark.   It is such a very organised and efficient day hospital and operates like a well oiled machine.  I was taken through to theatre at about 12.30 and the rest of the day was a blank haha.  The operation went well and I came out of theatre around 5 pm.  My biggest complaint is the compression bra that I have to wear 24/7 for six weeks........ Yikes.  By name it is very tight and catches underneath where the stitches are.  My Plastic Surgeon did Fat Grafting as well from my tummy in two places and on the sides of my chest, this caused the most pain - it feels like I had a very hectic gym session, which eases a bit more every day.  I am taking things easy and obeying all the do's and don'ts as instructed.  Saw the Dr on Friday for a quick check up and got the thumbs up, I see him again on Wednesday when I have a few questions I want to ask.

The family have been wonderful and as always JB picks up the slack in the house, I don't know what I would do without her 🤍.  Hubby has been working on clocks and watches as they continue to come in steadily and has also managed to technically close off the deck WOOOHOOOO.  I say technically because it still needs the Nutec boards (which are ready and waiting) and a lot of finishing off but yesterday we opened the glass door and Zeepha was able to go out on her own without a harness, the dogs were so confused, they just stood looking with their heads cocked to the side hehehe.  It has taken us just over four years to get to this point and now that the end is in sight I am beyond excited. 👏

Folks as you can imagine I don't have a lot of news, the above is pretty much my week.  I would like to ask though that you all take extra care of your health, we really do tend to take it for granted.  In the last six or seven weeks I have had one friend break her ankle, one friend fracture her knee. Another friend spent a week or two in hospital and yet another being really ill with a bladder infection.  I was scared to phone anyone else is in case they were ill as well, but thankfully all four are recovering well.  It seems like people's health has really been under attack.

I wish you all a blessed week, please stay safe and well.  Ciao Ciao
