Well look at that: my first full weekend at home since surgery. Long may it last!

This week has the potential to be just as quiet, with nothing more strenuous scheduled than a massage and a couple of visits to the district nurse to get dressings changed. I’m back on top of the medication so shouldn’t have any more drama from that, and recovery is my main priority.

What could disrupt my plans? Apart from the totally unexpected, two things are likely.

First, the results of last week’s ultrasound may have finally located the source of the intermittent pain I get in my back and right side. It seems to be coming less frequently, so maybe it’s self-resolving, but if they did find what they were looking for it will need treating, and that will mean a trip out of town, probably to Hamilton.

The other possibility is a date for the pending CT scan. I doubt they’ll want it on short notice, but as we move towards Christmas closedowns who knows what they have in mind. So that’s another Hamilton trip, whenever it happens.

Otherwise  I’m expecting a quiet week at home. Let’s see if I get it. Meanwhile it’s another beautiful morning here with the sun starting to rise over town ahead of what will no doubt be another hot day.
