I woke this morning just after 5am in a great deal of pain for some reason, whether I had twisted differently or just been sleeping in an uncomfortable position I don’t know but it woke with a very sharp jolt! Anyway I had some painkillers and a cup of tea and soon felt it easing, it is however still tender some 5 hours later.
In just 4 days from now we will be setting off on our journey home, it will be a long trip but we are so looking forward to getting home it will be very worth it! The last few days have been better but I don’t seem to have much energy, part of the problem is having never had surgery before I didn’t know what to expect and probably thought I would be up and fighting fit by now, hitting the shopping malls and filling the spare suit case which we brought in anticipation of the amazing shopping there is supposed to be over here, in reality, we did find one shopping mall a couple of days before my surgery but after about 3 hours were both tired, still suffering from jet lag probably but did get a few lovely clothes which were excellent value, I made an addition to my dress collection, not that I need any more dresses I just saw it and loved it and at $25 thought it was a bargain.
A nice surprise for today was a lovely Skype with our very good friend David Pilpel back in Busselton, we got caught up with the news back home which was nice and lovely that he is looking forward to seeing us next week. We are also hopefully having a Skype call with our neighbors today, Andy and Linny which will be nice, I am so blessed by the number of people who have kept in touch all the time we have been away. Also a special mention to my very good friend Niki down in Florida, she had her surgery 1 week after me but flew home after just 9 days, I can’t tell you what a bonus it is having her in contact as we can compare notes etc. a great contact for the future as hopefully she will make it to Australia at some point and we now have a couple of people in Florida to see if we ever fancied heading that way.
