I finally got the staples taken out on Friday. When I had gone to the health centre on Wednesday it was still too soon and Dr A commented that it looked like I had zippers … and well, the nurse thought this was the funniest thing. She even got me to teach her how to say cremallera in English, and she passed this on to her nurse co-worker on Friday. Ha ha – zipper woman! Nog said that, all things considered, having a zipper put in would actually be a good idea. He has a point.
Anyhow, a part of the wound hadn’t healed quite right so it got taped up and I was told I had to keep it bandaged and dry for another 48 hours and then could resume normal life again … which means I’ve just had my first proper shower in two weeks! Oh, those simple things in life that are so wonderful. Next will be when I can get on a bicycle again … quite looking forward to that. And possibly starting my yoga classes again (depending on how the new chemo affects me). But for now it’s daily walks, which are also wonderful.
Hope you’re enjoying today as much as I am. 🙂

Zipper…
When #2 was born the hatchlings’ Dad suggested the Obstetrician to put a zipper in my belly. The Obstetrician refused, thankfully.

Although an amusing thought, and probably practical with as many surgeries as you’ve had lately, and anticipate having, skin is still the best barrier against infection. But I like the graphic, it’s fun.

I’m trying to emulate your enjoying of each day. it’s a holiday in Oz today, so I spent an hour cleaning the aviary and repotting plants which was fun. then i had to spoil it all by doing my taxes 😦

Taxes! Boooo…hissssss…
I have to admit that although I do try to enjoy each day I sometimes ‘trip & fall’ and it feels like I’ve let myself down and I don’t have the energy to start all over again. But then Nog smiles at me like I’m the most wonderful person in the world and says I should just pick up where I left off … sometimes he knows just what to say.

Just a quickie to say have sent an email with details of date with gorgeous man, and requests for Cajun recipes? Any ideas for great vats of spicy food for hungry dancers?
Thinking of you honey, hope the zip is comfortable.
