Re: ~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...
So relieved to be on the other side of the full moon now, and my physical discomforts & emotional turbulence should settle down now.
I doubt that the young parents even know that there’s an author named John Beckett! They’re just following the trend of using surnames as first names now, probably.
I have been thinking of your arm injury lately, Cowboy, as son-in-law #2 put an awl or some such thing through his wrist recently, and needed stitches. D2, as a new OT who trained with a couple of “hand” OTs, is only too aware of how close he came to severing major tendons and arteries!
I’m not up by the baby; he’s almost two hours away. Her in-laws are there. Actually I didn’t feel all that welcome when I went up there before he was born, so maybe shouldn’t have gone. Oh well. I’m trying to do the right things as a grandma! Letting people know about the birth is awkward too. People want to know, but she wants to tell them herself, but can’t in her depleted state, then days go by and people don’t get notified and feel badly...I’m trying not to overstep, but this is all awkward. I’m going up there tomorrow. Feeling a bit deflated about the whole thing, but I will try to do the right things...
My PT holds out hope that when we can do more knee strengthening exercises then maybe it will hold together better. I sure hope so.
I’m so sorry you’re in pain, QW. It is such a hard place to be.
Good point Cowboy made to you, Jude, that the difficulty of getting back into work after the long leave of absence may make it easier to transition into retirement.
Our dog is pondering why he has a cone on his head and incisions all over his body! Lots of growths were removed. The pain meds seem to be keeping him comfortable.
24 more hours, please & thank you!
