Rubbish Pet Portraits and latest medical bulletin

 This is a new find for me

BERJAYA

They're wonderful abstractions of pets, funny but really good as art. People send their pictures for him to draw from, and the proceeds go to pet charities. He has thousands on his waiting list!

And my ten day post operative check-up went fine. The joint is fine, and so am I, just need to work on strength. I can drive! I can throw away the compression stockings! Free! 

I walked quite far in the building to the examining room, a test in itself. X-rays done and instantly available.  It's all good and I feel as if I should ring a bell or run up a flag or something, yay me!

Seriously, yay blogistas, too. Your encouragement was huge in keeping my spirits up through a scary time and i thank you all.

Happy day everyone, I'm having one.

Home again, home again, creepity creep

Home now, with Hippolyta, Polly for short, that was a busy day or two. I had two sessions of PT, one in the hospital, one at home today.

Handsome Son brought me home and I've starting using the walker in earnest. Yesterday I did manage to navigate the PT or OT equivalent in the hospital, the bathtub with the bench like mine, the mockup car with real car seat setup, the flight of stairs. So they sprung me today.

HS really should have a fanclub. The stuff he realized to do and did, was far above my expectations. He already got messages from my online pod community thanking him and admiring him. We've started on the freezer meals, so glad I did them.

The expected post operative pain is happening, and I have pills.  

Also better views

Walker with tray in place waiting the arrival of supper, whee waiting for food to be brought. Nearly as good as being a man, you never heard me say that.

And this 

BERJAYA

Frilly hats to minimize friction, by the non wheeled legs, on the floors, and make them glide quietly. Handsome Son and I figured this out. Two pieces of fleecy fabric, two doubled rubber bands. When they wear out I can replace them in seconds.

And here's

Korean spice bush, viburnum carlesii, suddenly starting to bloom and scenting the whole patio.

And

BERJAYA

Late daffodils and early tulips blazing away, first thing I saw coming home.

Happy day everyone, thanks for all the kindness.
