Hello again.
Thank you all for your good wishes and support. It was so lovely and heart warming to read all your messages. I am now back home again and about halfway through the healing process of my half hip replacement.
What looked initially like straight forward case has turned into a truly life changing experience in so many different ways once the cause for the fall became obvious. And my first hospital stay in 55 years (I had my tonsils out as a child in Switzerland) has also held some huge surprises about myself.
I am planning to start a bit of a blog to tell more and hopefully enjoy your continuing support for my further journey but I would like to update that Macsen and Manon are with
@Qualcast&Flymo - I can't thank you enough for your prompt hands-on local practical support. Hub could not have managed without you while I was in hospital.
Merlin and Sulwen have yesterday made the journey to
@furryfriends (TEAS) in Northampton where they will spend Christmas and will hopefully return - finally - as a bonded pair. Again, I am so grateful; it will mean one less cage to clean.
@Qualcast&Flymo has also been instrumental in putting us through the local grapevine in contact with a local family who is willing to help us with a weekly cage clean while hub and I are both struggling with mobility. I met them today. She's animal mad.
We are finally starting to get a leg on deck while sorting out so many things to adjust to the necessary changes. The important thing is that all piggies are still alive although I need to see the vet with a couple later this week.
Since I am still very weak and exhausted (even though I am doing my best to ace the class in terms of recovery), I have to take it all very slowly and prioritise my own needs so forum attendance is going to somewhat patchy and haphazard but as things settle and improve I can hopefully do that bit more every single day and be more in control of my body and everyday life again. Just being able to come on here is such boost after spending the last three weeks in a kind of parallel reality.
