Late with the 14th week report:
To quote Woody Allen "If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans." I guess, as a Buddhist I might change that a tad, maybe "life does not take suggestions from you." or "oh shite!"
My vacation plans started changing when the so-called mechanics of NWR hijacked my car forcing me to fly and Ron to miss the Ontario leg of the journey. I had a lovely time (see above) with siblings, kids, grandkids, and so forth. Ron arrived by truck to the house we'd rented out to find a big mess. The tenants left at the end of April. Our management people had not done a good job - the house was dirty, lots of things missing, lots of damage, and worst of all a slow leak in the laundry room had destroyed the flooring in that room plus an adjacent one, and half of the drywall has to be replaced due to mold. We thought we'd see friends, and family, canoe in Prospect Bay and generally kick back - a nice treat after a tough winter of me being in pain, working hard, no vacation etc...
Ha ha ha said life!
Instead it has been cleaning, fixing, meeting with insurance adjusters and so on.
But I wanted to say something here - not a whine, not a moan.
I am so grateful that I have a lovely new hip! This would have been devastating with chronic pain. We will get through it and it is only stuff. We will still see family and friends. We will go out the bay.
So listen all new and old friends - this journey we are on with new hips is worth the bumpy starts, the detours, even the breakdowns and start overs because the land of no chronic pain is a miracle!
