Hi @utopia
Thanks for your post - the knee recovered overnight after the RICE treatment - rest, ice, compression and elevation - I couldn't seem to take time to rest when I sprained my ankle but when the knee flared I had no choice - wow - that pain was epic, momumental - but I did read a lot lying on the bed with my foot on a pile of pillows
Yes - I do have a lot of services - domestic and assisted shopping - I don't know what the situation will be when My Aged Care takes over but it's not time to worry about that yet - I am not without resources unlike so many people
The book - yes the book - I read it in a few days - it's The Tattooist of Auschwitz and it is not that depressing - it's a true story and a love story and warms the heart to think of two people who met in such inhumane conditions were able to survive and find each other after the war and marry and live in Melbourne
It was vitally important to see my relatives - and to have such a wonderful day when my uncle is so sick - I haven't heard anything since I returned when I rang to let them know I was safely home and I did send an email - but I know both of them are battling
We naturally do the best we can and I can only pray my uncle will be okay - he has been my my life all my life and more like a big brother in many ways - I am sure it meant a lot to him that I went -
Thanks Utopia - I read somewhere that you are going on the wagon - I will get to that or you will let me know. It has to be hard for you - I hope this is your choice and not someone else's - but it will not be easy and I can't know anything about it. I wish you the best though
