I'm home

At the risk of being boring (nothing as mind-numbing as another's ailments, unless you're involved), I'm posting my return home. 

All went well in theater and my Group Assistant Jill collected me and brought me home to the farm.

Interestingly , the hospital gave me a blue surgical mask which I had to wear ALL the time. Into theater, while asleep that night and all day in the ward. I was in a private ward. All the staff wore masks and visors,  like Jill is wearing above.

I have all these wonderful friends around; Ron bought my groceries on Thursday; Janine, my other neighbor, brought my Avon order home from town. I unpacked it and on Thursday, Arina (my Avon mentor) collected the customer's orders from me to be delivered. The sister from Estcourt did my dressing on Thursday (to be repeated twice more next week) and Jenny our local palliative and hospice nurse, visits me in between. 

Young Derryn and Jenna, next door, treated me as well. Derryn cut my hair and Jenna gelled my nails. 


I am truly blessed with such wonderful neighbors and friends. 

Our Internet seems to be playing ball, so I intend to visit  your blog posts today.

Be safe out there 

and 

HAVE  A GREAT SATURDAY!

  4. So glad to know things went well and that you are home again and being cared for. Your friends and neighbors sound so wonderful - and I know getting hair and nails done must have been really been uplifting!
    Continue to get better Jo - good days are ahead for you I'm certain.

    Sending warm hugs - it's sweltering here now high summer has arrived, and wearing masks is uncomfortable but necessary. My friend made me a beauty - fabric printed with elephants because she knows I love them!!!
