630


Another love token from my babe.

Trying to keep things simple right now as situations are getting a little tricky. Working two days a week ticks along nicely until it doesn't. My MIL had a hip replacement 6 weeks ago and all started off really well but now there have been complications so we continue to be minus 50% childcare, now until who knows. We're juggling for now, but add in husband's travelling and support carers going away and it gets, tricky.

Is anything ever without complication? Sometimes I think if I stayed home full time it would be easier, but we know that has many challenges of its own too. I do tend to get less fraught these days, what can you do? No point expending energy that we have all too little of, getting wound up about those things which you can't control. Plough on and work through.

Hang in there - you are doing great. Think of it as a phase you just got to get through...

Take care and don't think too much about the pain. I learned that the patients who just had a hip replacement surgery are not allowed to cross their legs within one and half month of hip replacement surgery as this can lead to hip dislocation. Whether you are sitting on a chair or standing or reclining on a bed, never cross your legs at least during the vital six weeks after total hip replacement. Take care will you.
