Lizzie, I think it's always a big decision to have something like a knee replacement, but if it relieves you of pain in the longer term, it is probably worth the short term pain. But that doesn't make it much easier while you're going through the operation and recovery pain, I'm sure. It will be good to have your exercise bike up and ready to use.
Plant, our weather was quite good until about 3 o'clock. Since then we've had more rain, quite heavy at times. This morning the floods were deeper in places than the previous 'high' in 2013. We had to go a very roundabout way to collect OH's car to avoid the deepest water. It had dropped quite a bit this afternoon, but with the heavy rain again now plus high tide it could be bad again tomorrow. We live on the very edge of the village and the ground is slightly higher so our road (and houses) are safe.
Gem, little E will feel so grown up with his new bed. Is he going to carry on sleeping in his dinosaur sleeping bag or will he have a duvet? Was the library quiet with the bed weather?
Oma, I hope GS's journey back to Uni was ok and he arrived safely. I agree, it's always a worry.
We had nothing planned for today except a phone call from the consultant about 3 pm, and OH's car being mended. We were rudely woken up well before 8 o'clock by the phone. By the time I'd picked it up and put the light on because I couldn't see where the "answer" button was the caller had rung off. But I got up anyway. I'd just poured two cups of tea out about 8.15 when the phone rang again. This time it was the consultant. Was it ok to talk because she'd got a few quiet minutes and so often calls get later and later? Anyway, by then I was properly awake, so it was ok. My blood tests results were very good, she checked what I needed on prescription and so all clear for treatment as usual on Friday. She kindly read out all the blood results for me, because it can take the hospital up to two weeks to load them online. I thought I'd have breakfast then phone DS2, as he always likes to know test results etc, but the phone rang again. It was the vet we've chosen to treat Eva's bad knee. She sounded lovely, and said she'd like to see Eva to see if there was a way of avoiding surgery, so we're taking her there tomorrow. By the time I'd had a now cold cup of tea, a shower and breakfast it felt like mid-afternoon! I managed a quick call to GS2 who was waiting to hear that GD1 had got to school ok, as their bus didn't turn up this morning. Luckily one of the mums has a huge SUV and took 5 of them to school. I'd just got back from walking Eva after lunch and the garage phoned to say the car was ready. Our online community groups are very helpful, and I got three different suggestions for avoiding the worst of the floods. It still took quite a while to get there and back, and both cars have well-washed wheels!
By the time I'd prepared some bland food for Eva and made the curry I'd promised OH I was ready to sit down! I think I need an early night tonight.
