Ladies that Lunch

Hi there

George just gone up to bed so I can write till my heart's content!

Didn't get back to this last night - but I had a very nice visit with Kunpriye from the office - she came after work - wouldn't let me do a thing - even get the gingerale bottle out of the fridge.  We had a good chat and George was almost back to his normal self with his joking around.

Today I had a lovely visit from my two musketeers - Shirley G and Collete.  They brought lunch and we dined in the dining room.  (I cleaned up before I went in for surgery - I hadn't seen the table cloth in a while - it has become the overflow from the kitchen for George's office)!     So it was nice to be able to site in the dining room - Yeah for Mainly Cheese!

They came loaded up with a huge card full of signatures from people at work and letting me know of everyone's generosity of enough money to get a cleaning service to come into the house a few times.  Wow what a great idea - As much as there are days when I feel quite well and do things with my good arm - it catches up on me a day or so later.  So I am thrilled with this idea.  Thank you so much everyone.

I am going to have to watch out for my job though - that Shirley is after taking over.  You all know that I am known far and wide for my poetry writing skills, well that wee scottish lassie thinks she can take over my job while I am indisposed ....I have to share what she wrote in a card she and Colette brought with them - that card is two little girls decked out in jewellery and hats and dressed to the nines .....

This is what she wrote:

We took our picture
Us two girls
Shirley's in the glasses
Colette's in pearls

We wanted to give you
A great big smile
When you see our cuteness
And our sense of style

Friendship means
We stick together
'Cause after all
We're birds of a feather

All for One
And One for all
The Three Musketeers
That's what we're called!!

You have to really see the card - it is so great.

Just kidding Shirley - happy you can follow in my footsteps 'on a temporary basis'!!!  :)

I was tired though - I started to wilt at the table - so they were observant enough to not outstay their welcome and I went to bed right after they left.

(How boring am I?_

Nurse came today - it was one of the regular nurses that has been coming in to see George for the past year or so - she knows us very well and it didn't seem so stressful for me.  Things seem to be healing well - I don't know how it is supposed to feel - the wound is a little tender, especially under the arm area - but I guess that is normal.  I haven't been taking many pain meds, but felt the need this afternoon and I must admit I am feeling a little better now.

 I have discovered the game Mahjong and spent the morning glued to the computer   - I couldn't believe where the time went.  I am going to have to watch myself - it is addictive.  But at least I am sitting in one place and not dashing around here and there.

Nicole checked in a couple of times today - I have told her to stay home this weekend so that she get her own stuff done and pay some attention to Steve - so I think she will be taking him to the park.

We are fine - have plenty of food in the house and there is nothing we need.

Signing off now.  Going to read my huge card and all the comments and then hit the sack.

Love to all
