Firstly, we have been thankful for the home care which came about after my back surgery, one hour per week of housework - and my goodness what our worker doesn't get done in one hour is hardly worth mentioning! Well she informed us this week that she has pursued our 'case' further, and this care will continue for another 6 weeks. Hey that's truly a help and blessing for us - ensuite cleaned, house vacuumed, kitchen floors swept and washed.
And secondly, although my back scar has healed up well it has recently become a little tender where I lean back, so it requires District Nurses to check and dress it every second day, watching for possible infection. These special nurses have been unfailingly cheery and professional, so we are indeed thankful for their services too.
The picture below (sorry - not the most attractive sight!) was taken about 3 weeks ago, showing my 35cm scar, but the reddish patch has not healed further, and when you press it, it 'wobbles' at the top of the scar. We're onto it though!

| It's healing well except for the 'slower' bit, probably from where I lean back on a chair. |
We seem to have had a koala theme recently and this is no exception - yesterday evening Brian took this photo of a koala on our back garden fence. However I suspect Brian would have been a little more 'active' at moving it along had he known the koala's intent, because it climbed onto our flat house roof overnight, making one heck of a din before a loud thump and then things went quiet again.
There were no visible signs of the activity today.
