Post Surgery

So Madeleine had her 2nd hip op on Monday just over two weeks ago, and came home last Monday. Things didn’t go quite as smoothly as they might have, but in and out of hospital in 8 days for a fairly invasive surgical procedure is still pretty good going!

Anyway, progress is made every day; yesterday was her first outing beyond practicing going up and down the stairwell – we went over to the Metropole for breakfast!
Today she’s out again, hospital visiting, but in theory that involves no more walking than yesterday’s expedition…

Not sure how far we’ll get on Sunday (it’s dark too early on other days to do much outside) but if the weather’s ok we should get a few yards at least! Maybe even to Peter’s Yard for coffee and cardamom buns! Bit doubtful about that, though, come to think of the distances involved.

Mark Eitzel plays at the Cabaret Voltaire on Saturday; pretty certain Madeleine won’t manage along, but I might!
