Hey
Back from hospital. X-rays done and saw consultant. Gosh, you should see my X-rays - my bionic feet are remarkable - I have robot feet all put together with pins and screws. I'm like a mecanno skeleton.
All k-ish. Itty bitty slight complication - the 1st MTP joint has screws inserted which cross over - this ensures completion fusion. However, one screw is too long! On Tuesday, they will put me out - cut off plaster, do a bone imaging scan to check on the big toe fusion and all the other toots, remove the wires from all the toes (just a case of pulling them out - takes minutes at the most) and then do a little operation to remove the long screw. My surgeon doesn't know yet whether or not he will replaster the right foot for a further two weeks - all dependant on what the scan shows. No driving for a month tho!!!!!!!!!!!!! Walking hopefully (kinda proper walking) in 2 months-ish.
Anyhooooo - I guess no biggie. He thinks that the "dead" leg (right leg) which I keep getting will hopefully disappear when the cast is off and I start to move around a little more.
The rest of my joints - well, part and parcel of me - can't use the crutches coz of my hands, dodgy left hip from weight-bearing on left foot (and wearing one platform dancing shoe and one flat dancing shoe), sternum still sore - again can't use crutches coz of that - but that has improved lately fortunately. Fatigue - just......... stuff and me.
Possible completion move date of house on either 14th or 21st April. Spoke to my seller and he's good to go. Possible exchange date end March! OMGosh!!!!!!!!!
Divorce settlement sent to me by ex - he'd altered some stuff since yesterday, but we talked about it again, and I'm gonna stick with my "walk away" plan - he's not a bad person and we still care about each other. If I were to ever really struggle - I know he'd help me if he could. Strange, isn't it - now we are not together we have more clarity about each other and how we handle things. We just couldn't hold the marriage together because we were too far apart to see any clarity - and he couldn't hold his "temper". Now we are about to be divorced we can talk and care about each other - without the other cr*p getting in the way as we have completely separate lives and outlooks (he's a misery guts a lot of the time - Mr. Armageddon!) - but hey - he's about to move in with his girlfriend who's 20 years his junior, they are very happy together, he's gotta be doing something right. Shame it didn't work with us and that our family became broken - but then again - I wouldn't have met "J" and found that complete happiness and love (albeit in another world now) so, it was all meant to be.
Only thing ex-hubby and I fall out about is our BigBoy. Our eldest son has no part in my ex's life - has only ever met his girlfriend twice. It's like my ex has a put him in a box and parcelled him off. It's his way of survival - but it hurts me and my sons that he chooses no longer to "emotionally father" his child. He did for a while - he made the effort and they grew closer - but now, he has a new life, and my eldest son doesn't come into it. It's the only thing the ex and I ever fall out about. I won't judge him on his survival technique - it's all about survival - he does it his way - I do it mine. I nearly did the unimaginable - so I could never judge his way as being wrong or right. He see's me as a different person now and, like my parents, can't get his head around the Live Laugh Love motto - HA - you know, it feels good to be like that
. Oh what am I doing
. Was just posting about my hospital visit and now I'm rambling on about a load of tosh as usual.
So
long and short - too long a screw, but that's typical for a person one often calls "a little screwy" - HA!!!!, not a problem - I just get to sleep for a little bit longer on Tuesday.

Then it would be my laptop and music!
