The GP was quite pleased with Stella's progress, although he was worried about the ongoing pain in her back and organised for her to have an X-ray.
Stella, Tony and I had lunch in one of the cafes in Mount Martha on the way back.
Stella had a bit of a go on her new scooter. We intended to have another go but whenever it was convenient - it rained!!!
Stella's X-ray showed that she has a crack in one of her upper vertebrae, which explains the ongoing back pain.
A woman came from the home help people to set up ongoing home help for them, including an hourly visit three mornings a week to help with showering, dressing and useful things, 90 minutes once a week to help with house cleaning, someone to come weekly to put the bins out and bring them in and a financial contribution towards pre-prepared meals.
Tony went to choir practice.
I went to work on Wednesday and was reunited with my car keys so could actually use the car :-)
And yesterday I went to work and then made my way back to Mount Helen. Rupert and Sam seemed quite pleased to see me. I think Jim might have been a bit pleased too. He spent most of the week sorting out the flower and shrub beds and keeping the vegetable garden ticking over.
Stella is noticeably improving but, of course, she wants to be absolutely better rightnowthisveryminute. And it's going to take longer than that.
