Diversions

I got a knock on the door at nine last night. Odd. It's rare for me to get callers that late. So I opened up- looked round- no-one there- and then Joe chucked a snowball at me from across the road.

I like having the snow. It's a diversion.

Ailz is doing OK. I saw her scar yesterday. It stretches most of the way across the top of her stomach and it's held together with funny little staples. We were hoping she might be discharged Wednesday, but she's been told this morning that it'll be a few days longer. Having seen the extent of the surgery I'm not surprised. She was trying to persuade the surgeon to let her go by telling him that lying in bed all day was making the pain from her fibro-myalgia worse. And he replied "I don't think that's the fibro; that's your liver growing back."

Cheers for Ailz! :)

She's doing well.

Now what she really needs is a good night's sleep....

Poor Ailz! I remember that scar--I kind of liked mine: it looked like railroad tracks. Now--please tell her this--it's just an elegant silver line.

They took my appendix, too, which was a nice bonus.

Your snow is lovely.

The appendix is on the other side, isn't it?

I love snow.

I'm pretty sure they are both on the same side.

Did you get my email? I need your address!

I replied by return.

Let me know if you still haven't got it and I'll send again.

May she heal quickly! ( I think she's going to, with that attitude she'llbe up and creating in no time)

I wonder if it is okay to rub vitamin E oil and aloe into a healing surgical scar or not...

Thanks.

She's in good shape, but really tired. She was woken up this morning at three o'clock by the woman opposite calling "Please nurse, will you take me for my shower?"

Alos, I wish we had snow already. The first accumulation is always the most magical. I want to make snow faeries. And eat teh snow. mm.

Snow is good.
