DustyI am thinking of you as well, and goodness, that is very impressive that you are so well organized, you had the needed items, so quickly, and have everything set up well, for your husband to manage okay at home. It sounds like he will recuperate well; Don't forget to take good care of yourself also, and Happy Birthday, too! Hello again, to everyone here. I had tried to sign in to this site, a few times recently, and I didn't get my password correctly, apparently. Am I a robot? I was asked, numerous times. um....no. I hope all of you, know that!

What animal did Mary take to school? And... What was the name of President Kennedy's dog they had at the White House? We gotta be sure........ :>)

What was the name of President Kennedy's dog they had at the White House? We gotta be sure........ :>) Very funny! The only answer I remember, to your list of questions, is that Mary had a little lamb! I was very weary, when I had tried to sign in, multiple times, and was finally asked to choose which pictures included a bridge, and the pictures were TOO TINY, and not clear to my limited vision, and too indistinct for my fuzzy brain, so I had to let myself appear to be a robot! What a place, this world has turned into! Where people might be robots, and robots can act like people! Oh no, how many pickles were there???????

Just a little update on hubby He’s doing well due to getting one on one nursing care FROM ME I’m no nurse just using common sense and it seems to be working OK ...so far so good he’s not starved to death YET ...I only need to supervise him while he’s getting on and off shower chair / getting in out of shower he can do all the rest , he’s mainly using a walking stick ......However I don’t really know if that wise so soon never mind he has a appointment with the specialists on Tuesday in Adelaide so I guess that will answer all the things we need to know . Other than that I only need to help him with a few things that require bending like putting his Sox on his right ( injured / replaced hip) his shoe and helping him settle in bed I left him home this morning while I stocked up food we needed and gave him a stern warning ...you try to do anything strenuous I’ll be ...grrrr when I get home 🏡 He was still in one piece when I got back so that’s the main thing

One of the great things we've seen in our lifetime are the miracles of modern medical technology. I shattered a knee in January 1977. They kept me in the hospital 31 days!!! Huge cast for a long time after that. In 2009, went in to have that knee replaced. 24 hours later, I was home with a totally new knee!!! Keep him reined in. Do what the physical therapist recommends. He will be JUST FINE!!!

Thing is 2old he was told while still in hospital he didn’t need rehab or physio cause he was to fit and he himself would work out what he needed to do to get back on his feet at his own pace. The physio was amazed he could walk to the end of the passage and back less than 12 hours after his surgery . His appointment in Adelaide on Tuesday is a check up with the surgeon Hubby broke his knee in his shed years ago ,we was up a old ladder that looked like it was made from round steel water type pipes ,the ladder had a wire hook that was suppose to keep it open ( it was how you bought them ) anyway he was up the top changing a fluorescent light and the ladder collapsed ....long story short he had nothing to grab so he landed on his knee breaking it in 4 .....it was operated in repaired ....then he went back to work 3 months latter ...walking out of work one wet day and putting his motor bike helmet on he stepped on a large piece of plastic slipped and pulled his knee apart AGAIN .... so they wired it together So keep up your golf and we will hopefully get back to dancing when we can it pays to keep fit if we can

Dusty ~ Oh my! Your hubby sounds accident-prone. He seems to survive well in spite of it. What types of ladders do they sell in Oz? Water pipes???

It was very similar to this ruby they were very heavy cause they were made from water pipe looking metal ..now days ladders are as light as a feather cause they are all aluminium

He’s doing well jaila he waking without any aids but keeps his walking stick close by just in case He has another appointment with the hospital this Tuesday ..so hopefully he won’t have to go back till next month when he has a X-ray to check all is going well . I was very tired so I’ve been forced to cut back on work that was mounting up like heaps of fruit off our trees waiting to be preserved or stewed .....so I shut my eyes and binned allot of it ..my cupboards are full to the brim with preserved fruit already ..and I’d run out of my preferred preserving jars ..so that was a good excuse to bin the fruit Normally I’d dry a heap of peaches ... but not this year it makes a huge difference when a team is reduced to one doing all the jobs we don’t realise how much each does till ones out of action

We're all glad to see your updates, I'm certain, Dusty !
You are right, that you just must cut back on the usual chores, because one cannot do all the usuals plus all the extra needs, ongoing, This has surely been exhausting for you, too. Those drives included!
and your health and your stamina, is more important, despite how difficult it is, to look the other way, from what we normally do and would like to do. But the personal price is too high, for both of your benefits, now. You need to ultra-prioritize!
I'm glad to hear that you realized that, too.
I've been through many levels of having to do that, too.
