Patrick had surgery to repair his severed Achille’s tendon on Monday and all went well for him. Now he will be hobbling around on crutches for the next six weeks followed by physical therapy and he may be able to walk again with a boot. He has decided to not shave during his recovery and he was looking pretty grizzly. It will be interesting to see how long his beard becomes.
I don’t have a lot to write about this week, as I have stuck pretty close to home - going for long walks in the neighborhood, taking care of the potted flowers, watching the Netflix series “Inventing Anna” and working on stitching cards.
I am at Ben’s house for the next week, keeping Yoshi company. They had intentions of being on the road by 10:00 but I got a text at 10:30 saying they hadn’t started loading the van yet and I was already on my way here. It was noon when they pulled out. We had a light rain for a couple of hours, so Yoshi and I walked when it cleared up and then it was perfect for enjoying the patio and back yard.
I’ve also picked them up as a new cleaning client, so I’m doing a test run this week. Stripping the beds and remaking them has already taken an hour. I’m thinking it will be a 4-hour job every two weeks.
