Home again

Thursday saw us at the hospital again waiting for the doctor to possibly discharge Rebecca.  I am so pleased and proud of her she is trying very hard to walk upright and potter off to the bathroom but then she rests in bed and zonks out.  They finally let her go mid afternoon and we took her back to her place where a bed has been put in the lounge to save the stairs.  Her little kittens were pleased to see her, they are so sweet.
I can't find a photo at the moment so will have to take one.

Friday I stopped en route to buy some nice goodies, strawberries, avocado, spinach, nice little treats.  A lovely green smoothie with pineapple, kiwi, pear and spinach was first up. Lunch was home made vegetable soup that we had made together last Sunday and frozen, then white fish for supper, out ready for when Antoni came home so he could have something easy to cook.  A lighter diet is recommended for about a week and she is quite happy to err on the side of vegetarian anyway.

Even though much of the time Rebecca was asleep it was the comfort of knowing I was there that made her feel relaxed and sleep is the bodies way of healing too, so I sat quietly doing a little cross stitch.

As Marilyn comment about looking after yourself as Antoni will be there over the weekend I shall return next week and use the weekend to chill out a bit and just potter about.

The fair was in the plaza in Benissa on Friday when we stopped and hubby took these photos as he thought how colourful everything looked.

He had the camera on some weird setting and it came out like this - different!
Got a few ideas for a little stitchery so I'm off the have a wander round the net to see what images I can find. Have a good weekend whatever you are doing, take care xx

  1. Sending my very best wishes for a fast recovery for Rebecca. Surgery really takes it out of you, but it sounds as though everyone is doing everything they can to help. Rebecca will have been pleased to see those little kittens, animals seem to aid recovery, it's as if they know they're needed. Don't forget to look after yourself too.

    1. The kittens are so sweet and full of mischief, animals do help in recovery and such good company, they can certainly help to cheer you up. Our furries always seem to know when you need a cuddle.

  2. I am glad that Rebecca is out of hospital. I hope that her recover goes well, I am sure it will with your tender loving care. I know that you will take care of yourself too!! I'm not sure that I care for that camera setting! I think that I like the "normal" picture better! xx

    1. Thanks Amy, although Rebecca had her own room its so much nicer being in the comfort of your own home, the food's better too lol, she is so looking forward to Thursday when the staples come out.
      I'm not sure about the photo either, he doesn't know how he got it so I don't think there will be a repeat performance

  3. I can only echo the sentiments of Jo and Amy and tell you that I'm thinking of you and sending positive vibes along the web of good things that stretches to where it needs to go.
    Those kittens are doing more good than they'll ever know.

  4. Just being in her own place will be a great help for Rebecca's recovery also - nothing like being home and in your own space, especially with the kittens to entertain her. So good that you are having those couple of days to refresh yourself, but knowing Rebecca is being cared for while you are doing so.
    The bottom photo looks a bit like a painting and is quite a different effect than the first one.
    Keep taking care of yourselves and of Rebecca.
    Hugs xxx
