This time next week.....

All being well....

This time next week...

I'll be going to bed the night before I get my knee operated on! Yeeeay!

I can't believe I had to wait 8 weeks for a MRI and it's results, and then I only had to wait 2 1/2 weeks for an operation! I did get in due to a cancellation, but it's so incredibly perfect I can't believe it'll happen.

Because I've a large family to look after and no relatives nearby it's very hard for me to take a break. I have school and nursery run, and 7 or 8 hungry people to feed. Since I broke my leg the teenagers have been really helpful, but there's still loads to do.

Being given a date of 18th December for a knee operation is probably most people's idea of hell, but for me it's ideal. My partner and the teenagers are off for 2 weeks from 3.30pm 19th December, so I really should be able to relax. I won't have to walk to school, I won't have to chase after my 3 year old, I won't even have to be the one who gets up and flushes our ridiculously stupid and cantankerous toilet after my 5 year old has been.

I am DETERMINED I will not even be the one standing in the kitchen for a couple of hours cooking tea....

I should however be the one on Christmas Day who has a working knee and can actually sit down on the floor with my children and play with their toys....

      I've not forgotten you laughing at me going up your stairs to the loo before we knew my leg was broken! I'll get my own back one day... :P

    It really is the most perfect timing, I think your luck was due to change. I'm keeping everything crossed that all goes well and you're on that floor building Lego with the boys on Christmas Day.
