[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 346814, member: 1991"] G'day for Monday. Sharon/LDM, it sounds like a busy but enjoyable family time at your place. Enjoy the spring weather. I had a busier day today than I really wanted. I went to the doctor and then the physiotherapist with mother in law (my physio too). I didn't actually go in to see the doctor with her this time, but I have an appointment to see the local doctor tomorrow. Meanwhile - I had to call my post-surgery support mob, it feels like the infection is coming back, so I've been told by the surgeon to go back onto the antibiotics. I've always got two tablets to start with, it gives the local pharmacist time to order in my (expensive) antibiotics. I'm still trying to organise my radiotherapy. I started telephoning them on Friday morning, there is some sort of computer glitch with my file, they tell me, and they can't give me an appointment until it's sorted. They keep saying, "I'll call you in half an hour," or "I'll call you first thing Monday morning." I'm still waiting. I knew there was a waiting list for radiotherapy - I didn't know there was a waiting list to get onto the waiting list! mother in law & I got back home with barely half an hour to grab lunch and head back out to collect sis-in-law from the airport. I did stop off at the mall briefly to buy husband's bread rolls (it's the only place that has the ones he likes). I have other groceries I needed to get but I knew I didn't have enough time. I was glad I didn't have to take easy child 2/difficult child 2 to the doctor after all - daughter in law came to the rescue, including bringing easy child 2/difficult child 2 my spare crutches for her to borrow. One girl finishes with them, the next needs them. The doctor told easy child 2/difficult child 2 that it was just a bad sprain. We did a little shopping on the way home, but no time for fruit & vegetables. Got home at 5.30 pm, ready to collapse. I dropped mother in law & sis-in-law at mother in law's place then went home for as much rest as I could get in an hour. Then it was back down to mother in law's for dinner. We just got home - my brain feels fried. Usually when we eat at mother in law's we have a fairly quiet relaxed dinner and watch TV together. Tonight sis-in-law was showing photos of her daughter's school formal (= "prom") to mother in law while husband & I tried to watch a documentary. Everybody was talking loudly (so mother in law could hear) and my brain feels like mush. difficult child 3 was talking loudly and constantly, and by this time of night with medications worn off, he tends to use his own jargon and get scathing (or frustrated) if we don't instantly understand the 'technical' terms he invents to describe his own specialised interests. Sometimes I'm too tired to concentrate. Tomorrow is forecast to be sunny, and then the weather will get cooler and damper. I'm hoping to be able to get to the beach tomorrow even briefly, or I won't get a chance for another week or more. difficult child 3 has his drama class tomorrow, after which we'll have dinner out, just the three of us. I'm looking forward to a quiet dinner with husband. Enjoy your Monday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
