Went to hospital at 12.15pm yesterday. I was a wee bit nervous, but that was mainly because of the unexpected. However it all went extremely well! I was done at 1.15pm, came back out from under anesthetic at 2.15, into recovery at 3pm and allowed to go home at 5pm. All very civilised and easy. The surgeon said it went well, and that the screw wasn’t loose but certainly protruding into the patella and surrounding muscle. I have a massive bandage covering my knee which is actually causing more annoyance than the pain of the surgery. I can take that off tomorrow thank goodness. The yellowness of the leg is all that pre-op antiseptic they smear over the area. Smelly!!
So Justin has taken this all in his stride and is finding that juggling the phonecalls and the kids and nappy changes and housework etc is a lot of work and can take up a lot of time. He has taken the girls to Playgroup this morning and took reading sessions with Holly’s class yesterday. Isn’t he wonderful!
Fathers Day was nice – we had a BBQ for lunch then drove to Parliament House to have a wander around and show the girls where the Prime Minister works. Afterwards we nipped into McD’s for a cone. The first Ice cream cone that Amy has ever had and she LOVED it!!
Jess has formed a new friendship with the little boy that has moved in up the road and has a play date with him on Friday. Cute! She chased him up and down the street Sunday evening, while the big girls rode bikes and scooters and the big Mums and Dads had a few drinks. I love my new street! Well except the lady next door who is cross with me for some reason and won’t talk to me!! She used to be really nice – I wonder what I’ve done 🙂 Oh well, not losing sleep over that one.
I’m going to book our tickets to Tassie now. Tania gave us the all clear to come then so I’ve instructed her to make a booking at the Cadbury Factory Tour and a date for the Salamanca Markets. Yippeee…
And just a quick shot of some scrapping that I did for Beth’s challenge.
Have a great day in the sunshine 🙂
