Home again

Well, that wasn´t a barrel of laughs but I´m home now and recovering nicely. I must say the hospital vegetarian food was atrocious - fried rissoles and hamburgers which were dry as dust and almost impossible to swallow, accompanied by a boiled unidentifiable vegetable (pumpkin?), not a green leaf in sight. Just what is required to tempt the appetite of a queasy patient. My daughter, who stayed with me, was slipping me bits of her salad to keep me going!

Anyway that is all in the past now. Toby, needless to say, was delighted when I came home and is sticking to me like glue. The only fly in the ointment is that I have to give myself a daily injection in the stomach for 14 days. As a former nurse needles don´t bother me but it is a different cup of tea when you have to stick it in your own stomach. Still, eleven down and three to go...

  1. Good to see you are back home and Toby is pleased to see you. I hope your recovery continues well. I note that electricity consumption is a perilous sector at the moment in Brazil and you are being asked to turn off a light or an appliance due to low rainfall affecting the hydroelectric supply.

    1. Thank you Rachel. Yes, our power supply is definitely under threat at the moment. We can go for weeks without rain in winter which doesn´t help.

  2. Home again - the best place!
    Thank goodness for your daughter supporting you and Toby waiting to welcome you back.
    Hopefully things will soon get back to normal for you.

    1. Thank you Wendy. Went out for the first time with Toby yesterday, just around the block with a friend in case I felt wobbly. All was well and I shall do the same again today. Baby steps but I´m getting there.
