Friday 6th July. Still taking "One day at a time "

I am NOT going to tell you what a miserable time I had in hospital at the beginning of the week, where plans changed on an hourly basis, where I spent most of the time in pain and crying, feeling very pathetic, and sorry for myself.

I am instead ( as I now have my lap top) posting some cheerful photos, not I hasten to add of my father-in-law and his trousers episode, that's quite enough excitement for this week. He proudly showed me his smart braces yesterday, very fetching, and more importantly able to do a proper job in keeping his trousers up.

 "Who's on the morphine?.... Steph and I on the swing seat..

 My niece-in-law and their four year old.

Sticker books are great, fat swollen legs are not........

 My nephew and his and his rather small knight....

 Rockin' the pyjama look with some Nurses/Consultants. ( Not exactly in my 'active wear')....

Two trouble makers...

 On our new boat .....named Lady J ..... by me of course....

 Support crew with medical supplies......

Even had a paddle afterwards.. very good for the two large appendages that are trying to pass themselves off as legs...

Mary Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?  Reasonably pleased that I managed to get out there today and see that we have had some success for 'wedding flowers', not sure we'll fill that marquee though ...   

 This evening a little paddle again, not swimming or anywhere close, but still very grateful for small mercies.

 Look!!! No oxygen, and a cleverly disguised 'drain bag', yes I've still got it unfortunately.
You couldn't possibly tell the fact that I  have weedy arms and a humungous lower half where clothes definitely do NOT fit. 

Love him x
