Ok so Friday I got up feeling not too bad, just a trick, by the end of the day I was knackered. Never mind we still went out for Friday night footy at the brothers place. AND I got the genuine roaring log fire!! Beautiful. Was warm as toast. Shame the game was so bad.
Yesterday we were up really early and drove to Shepparton to visit with my sister and brother. Spoke to the sister earlier in the week, yeah sure she had nothing on, would be home all day Saturday. So why was it that when we got there at the appointed time on the agreed day she was not home? Tracked her down and it seemed she thought we were coming next Tuesday, sorry sis, got other things to do next Tuesday....lol. BB WAS home and a sight for sore eyes. He is looking so well and managing so nicely it is a joy to watch. He can move around and up and down the doorsteps into and out of the house on his own but uses his stick outside for safety. He does still occassionally bump into things on his left side as his sight is still a bit weak but that requires time to heal. Having a brain bleed has not diminished his thought proccess, he was merrily cracking jokes and remembering the punch lines. Wtg BB I am very impressed with your progress. Anytime you want to slack off on the exercises or any of your therapy, remember, that around the next corner a nursing home is lurking, just waiting for a likely candidate!! (Think BogeyMan)
Quick lunch with the sister who was still trying to find what day it was, no sorry sis, cannot stay, have to rush off, heavy schedule, people waiting etc. Then off to Benalla to meet with the brother back from WA. Rang him the day before to say we were coming over and sure he had nothing planned for the day, would be home all day. As we were leaving Shepparton I called to get directions only to be told that, wait for it, he was out! Not only out, but out visiting a mate in Shepparton!!! Did I miss something in that phone call???
So right we would go on to Benalla and visit with the old folk and he would call when he got home and we would catch up. Got to town, went around to the old folks place, oh oh, one car with the bonnet up and the second car not home. Knocked but of course, they were out! Not their fault. I had not called them to say I was coming. After all to quote one of my children when speaking to someone about us, 'they are ALWAYS home'!! After that I played phone a friend and went to see Elly, who WAS home! While we were sitting in her backyard in the very pleasant sunshine having a cuppa and a chat, the brother rang to say he was back from Shepparton, so eventually, we drove out to visit with him on his brothers farm just out of St James. Was very easy to find, just drive down the road and turn the corner at the paddock on fire! The locals are preparing for this years planting and have started burning off old stubble. An impressive sight, and even though it was very well controlled and managed, still a bit scary to see how fast it travels and how noisy it was. Fairly smoky too!
We got back to Bendigo around 10.00pm. A few hundred kilometres on the clock and quite a bit of rattling of the brain and body. Maybe it will be easier when we move into their area..........
