Yes Lyn. I'm hoping you're doing great.🙏🤗 I guess I gotta hope you went through surgery too even though I'd rather you didn't have to 👀 hopefully you have to get well soon😜😘.

 

[Ray--Opo]

@Lyn W hope your operation went well. Now take it easy for as long as the doctor wants you to.
Let others take care of you.😁

Last week Opo managed to crawl into a tomato cage and couldn't back out. Have no idea how long he was like that. He had to get pass the barrier that guards the plants. Knock over the cage and crawl in. He was walking around the yard with the 4 legs sticking forward. Like he was a quad threat jouster. I had to cut him out. Where he was the ground was soft. So my power chair got stuck. Had to get out of my chair, so now I am on the ground in the soft dirt. After getting some plywood under the wheels. All the time Rose is scolding me for going in that area. Finally got it unstuck and went straight to the shower.

One thing I've learnt with Lola is that if there's trouble to be found in any shape or form he'll find it. Torts are naturally curious without the benefit of seeing consequences!
Glad Opo and you are OK.

It's downright spooky 👀 Joe painted a picture 😁 I promise I didn't tell him about our conversation here. Ok which one of you has been communicating with my brother telepathically 😊View attachment 350680

Is Joe secret member of TFo?

Well come on, how was the "experience" Lyn, nosey people(me) wants to know??

I've had so many knee surgeries of different types, I might not do well on the written but I could probably pass the "driving portion" of the Surgeons exam!

 

[Lyn W]

Good morning all.
Thank you for all the good wishes. Went to theatre in the afternoon so didn't get home until about 9. 30 last night . The nurse suggested I stay the night but I wanted to get home so my sister collected me and stayed a while to make sure I was OK. So far so good - some pain which is to be expected but fine in myself. I settled down to watch tv on the sofa when she left and I woke up at 7.30 this morning! Had a great nights sleep thanks to the anaesthetic I think.
I hope you're all fine and your torts are staying out of trouble - especially Opo!!
See you later

All good so far thanks Jeff, It was keyhole surgery so not too drastic, but I didn't get to see the surgeon before I left so I don't know if they repaired or trimmed down the torn cartilage. They would have cleaned it out to get rid of any debris floating around in there to stop that causing problems. I'll have a follow up appointment in a couple of weeks so just have to take it easy for a while, keep it dry until the stitches are out, start some gentle physio and use the crutches. Then hopefully I can start enjoying longer walks.

Good for you Lyn and thanks for calming my own curiosity!

I think they re-crewed the station....

On another thread, I've been whining about my new cell....yesterday my oldest texted asking that I call her.
For reference, this is the daughter whose husband got stupid last Christmas and told her he didn't want to stay married, after 18 years.

She was devastated of course, by March she bought a new home and began dating.....she's found someone she gushes over like a teenager......and when I called her last night, she had wanted to invite them BOTH over for dinner.

3 weeks ago, it was "You won't meet him till Christmas, if then...."we're going slow"

I noticed that......LOL

I told her I'd be at Kerry's but of course they were both welcome, 74 miles from her home......not sure they want to do a 3 hr car ride to talk to Dad, but we'll soon see!

Who wants to lay odds that my daughter will be married bewhat a wicked little thpughtfore the end of next year? LOL

At the very least, she won't be looking at moving back in with you.... I know.... what a wicked little thought, Jan

Kind of. He caught the tortoise bug from me and brought me home a present from the fair today

You can't believe what I do to avoid using both crutches altogether. They cause me more pain than the injury. Poor you. With my fractured knee cap I used 1 on the injured side, fiddled my foot on my good side to slide around, and hopped on my good foot. And planned every step to take before I attempted it. In other words sat on my butt as much as possible 😉

We are supposed to get some bad storms tonight heading for you tomorrow. Maybe even tornadoes for us tonight. We'll see. That's Lovely. I love the mirror image in the water in the picture. The fall colors just starting. This weekend is supposed to be our peak for Fall colors. Here's hoping you get to do some kayaking for your peak 🤗
