The Sun The Moon and a Thruple

8 Mar

Take a peak this week into the lives of retired lesbians living in the jungle of southeast Mexico.

Lovely sunrise view from our roof.
Full moon and lunar eclipse.

It’s been a bustling week which included an early morning lunar eclipse, a visit from our friend Michelle, and annual doctors’ check-ups (ortho, gastro, dermo and pulmo). Getting old is a full time job.

Stella loves Auntie Michelle

Michelle adds sparkle. She is an avid bird watcher, lovely conversationalist and pitches in with Mom, the dogs and household tasks. No drama just life divided by three instead of two.

Identified by our bird App this week on the roof.
Lots of colorful visitors.

One doctor’s visit was particularly helpful, a second opinion on my leg. I went for a scan and will return on Monday to come up with a plan. He said I should not be in this much pain a year and a half later. I left hopeful.

Hopefully there is more bone growth since this last xray in December.

Unfortunately Michelle has returned home but the mental health break she gave us provided respite and a vow to take better care of ourselves, as we all need to do.

The thunk thunk is the toucan.

    Love to you three – and wish I could have met Michelle – she sounds great. See you soon!

      He said that I might need a hip replacement. But that is a last resort. I’ll let you know what he says.

        My hip replacement was very good–but that doesn’t mean anything. Yes, let me know

        Doc says there’s no other option but hip replacement. Looking into it now.

        Mine was the anterior surgery (front of the leg). Because you had the break, maybe it’s different. I’m sorry you’re having so much trouble!

    Sorry to hear you’re still in pain. As you say, growing old is a full time job. Lovely birds, though and love the toucan! 🙂

      They’re so illusive. The sound they make is like a drumstick on a block of wood.
