Progress!

There seems to be positive progress on all fronts, which makes a change. Shortly after finishing my last post, I received a phone call from the Clinic, the process for Hip Surgery, is obviously not a short one, from what was said, it appears that I passed the paper sifting stage, and I have toContinue reading “Progress!”

Still in Limbo

Marcela contacted the Clinic responsible for deciding if they will operate on my hip on Monday, they said the Meeting had, for some unknown reason, been delaid and was due to be held that day, with the Pacients informed of their decisions by the end of this week, so we live in hope, but areContinue reading “Still in Limbo”

Hopefully!

To say that I am frustrated by the restrictions I am under is an understatement, if I am hobbling around the house I can use my walking stick, likewise when we go shopping, we park across the road from the Supermarket, I tried using my zimmer, but then, all I could do was watch whilstContinue reading “Hopefully!”

I’ll Know Soon

Last week we went to El Santuario to collect some packages from Jaime’s house, and on leaving the car park, I stepped on uneven ground, and my hip went, Marcela went on alone, and I waited in the car. As a result, on our following trip to Rionegro, we went to an Orthopaedic Supplier, andContinue reading “I’ll Know Soon”

Life Goes On

Over the last three weeks, my right hip and right knee have slowly been getting worse, if I leave the house, I can’t go anywhere without a stick, and then I have to be careful, if I am not walking on level ground, because my hip wants to take me in one direction, but myContinue reading “Life Goes On”

Solar Con?

I am beginning to think I have been taken for a ride, and Marcela is not letting me forget that it was my decision. We still haven’t sorted out the problem with the solar system, the bills from the Energy Supplier keep coming, and rising each time. We are still waiting to hear from them,Continue reading “Solar Con?”

Marcela’s Turn!

A week ago yesterday, I had to go back to the Dentist for a clean, and had managed to get Marcela her first appointment since the start of the Pandemic, I got away with a light scrub, Marcela wasn’t so lucky, she told the Dentist that she had had an accident a few months ago,Continue reading “Marcela’s Turn!”

Busy Week

Firstly, I finished revamping the coffee table in record time, having changed the edge of the table from a roundover to a chamfer, has made it look quite modern, surprising how little things can make such a difference, and the darker Oak colour is an improvement as well. That done it was time to getContinue reading “Busy Week”

Apologies!

The first order of the day is to apologise, for the standard of my Posts, I have just been reading back, to see where I am up to, and saw a number of errors, due to big fingers, which I have now corrected. I do read through my Posts, before publishing them, but obviously notContinue reading “Apologies!”

Twice in one Day!

I said I had been busy, and then realised that my last post was dragging on, so decided to make it two! Last Saturday, whilst alone, I was in bed reading, when the volume of music from somewhere nearby went through the roof, so I decided to go out and have a look, to seeContinue reading “Twice in one Day!”
