It really is unfair when life throws a bunch of horrible things at you in a short space of time but glad you’re able to share your thoughts on here as it’s good to talk about them. Also your neighbours sound great and you don’t need me to tell you how good the health system is over there. All the best with the op next week, you’ll get the best aftercare I’m sure. Had op on Friday and hopefully going home today. Spoke to Wife and she seems to be settling in despite being very confused. Since being in the home shes had a couple of falls that required hospital visit so am happy she is in the best place. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say so far its been easier than I thought. Not really painful but more uncomfortable. Was up same day and able to walk the next (with crutches obviously). Been home (on my own) since Monday and am managing ok even up and down stairs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps just stick to putting for a while, then a few nine irons and you’ll soon be challenging for Augusta - just watch out for those falling pines. And don’t mention whispering grass. In all seriousness, I hope things improve for you both shortly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Easter Saturday I'm pretty certain I encountered her, the one who was less than candid and who I grumbled about last year. Ummed and aahed a few times but quite rightly said nothing. She was with some friend I assume but who knows- had I been a few drinks in I may have pointed out the juxtaposition of her what seemed to be alias vs real name, marriage vs her stated more open arrangement- but I wasnt so fortunately I did not.

I tend to agree yes. Would have been interesting to see her reaction yo that juxtaposition, name v alias, marriage vs more open arrangement- lkekwiae had I been with certain friends you know the sort of characters that aren't always giving the most sensible advice let's say well something might have slipped out but fortunately neither were a factor!

BigTone Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Knee coming along well however the same can't be said about the Wife. She seems to get worse every visit. Just had her family over from Ireland to see her which has been challenging to say the least. They really have no idea. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
