Post Surgery Ramblings

6 Sep

One evening this week we spent almost an hour on the phone with our eight year old granddaughter. We giggled while using special effects to create silly, distorted faces with puppy ears, pig noses and rainbows. She loved teaching her grandmas new tricks.

Missing teeth makes it even more entertaining.
Fun with Sara.

Also, physical therapy started in earnest with both increased pain and increased capacity. While I’m getting stronger, I still feel like such a wimp.

Many thanks to our house sitter for taking good care of our dogs
Luna is so regal.

I had friends visit almost every day. They both lifted my spirits and wore me out. And somehow I managed to not take one picture.

Enjoy the photos of my pups and know that I’m slogging along through this healing process, wishing I were home yet deeply committed to seeing it through.

    Dear Alex,
    What a lovely blog today! I love the quote: is it yours? May I borrow it? If not yours, do you know the author? I love it and it impacts me deeply…

    I am so happy you are healing and that you had such a delightful time with your granddaughter – what a cutie! I am wishing you all good things…and sending love !

    We have been notified that our (OUR) property – in Bacalar, ’next’ to you and Lisa (almost next to you) has “sold” and we have until oct one to get all of our things out. I am in Maine in the woods writing – no airports near – and Bob is home awaiting a hip replacement (surgery date is January due to back log of patients) and he can barely walk. This is Kathy Clifford’s move – we are beyond shocked and stunned. …

    We have a good lawyer – for now, please keep it between you and Lisa…but I wanted you to know. ..

    Keep healing and know I think you are very courageous and strong – I am proud to be your friend. Much love for now – L.

      Oh my. How can she sell your place without your permission? Do you know what the plan is for the property?
