FBG SWEATSHIRTS

 

On Wednesday afternoon I ordered two plain purple sweatshirts online.  (blanktees.co.nz)

The arrived less than 24 hours later!  Amazing service.

I am going to wear them on FBG walks when it's bloody cold.

And now... I am making them 'mine'.

ABOVE:  Once the first one is finished, I shall show you.  I'm hoping it looks OK.

ABOVE:  Last night, once it was cool, I planted the two new little ground cover plants we got for by the letterbox.  I also put a paver there, one that's not heavily 'decorated'... I think it looks nice there.

Stew's surgeon is visiting him around 11 am this morning. Depending on how that goes, Stew could be coming home today.  I am going up at around 10 am, so I'm there for when the surgeon arrives. All indications from yesterday suggest he will be coming home today.

ONWARD...

12.30 pm.
And he has been discharged.

ABOVE: Getting in and out of the car was difficult, luckily he won't need to do that again for about a week.

ABOVE: Me being the dutiful wife... lunch is served, with decorative greenery and a flower.
I've told him not to expect that again.  😂😅

ABOVE: now he's safely ensconced in his chair with a cuppa tea and food, I'm popping out to the supermarket for the fresh fruit etc.
He has his phone handy in case he needs help... but I think he will be just fine.  He has Coco.

2.40 pm:  And PHEW!  I'm knackered.  I did a rather big grocery shop, picked up Stew's prescription, came home and unloaded it all, then grabbed some lunch for myself.
I think we have enough food in the house to last us a month, at least!

  1. I suspect Stew will be coming home - just in time for LUNCH. You could pick up your favorite take out food . However that Hospital Food looked really tasty!

    Glad things are going well!

    The bee paver is lovely! You could likely sell versions of them at your annual neighborhood craft event.

  8. In the car it would help if Stew sits on a plastic garbage bag (bin liner). It makes it much easier to swivel the hips and butt. Definitely helped me!!

  13. Hi Nurse Chris, I hope your patient is doing well and the painkillers are doing their thing. If you have not already done so, I suggest making up the spare bed for one of you in case he had trouble getting comfortable and sleeping at night so that at least one of you can move so you are not both overtired 🥰

  14. Excellent! Hope the pain is bearable and he can start moving around more easily.
