It just keeps gettin' better

Another brilliant day! Other than Joy, no-one was more delighted than me. Trevor and I took Joy on a ride in the gardens again (climatically, another sensational day) A couple of laughs, coffee and a chat with a few very inquisitive geese set our day up nicely. Back to her sumptuous private ward (organised at normal rates by her amazing friend Kate) for some physio. Isaak, the physio man put her through her paces and she seemed to cope very well. More of the same tomorrow. Lucia arrived with armfuls of fruit and then on to Auntie Trevor's Fantastic Hospital Made Fruit Juice (an alarming machine that Trevor uses to concoct out of this world fruit drinks for Joy on site) a few visitors, lunch and a kip! After supper tonight, Joy had her first bath since the op, almost entirely unaided and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s so humbling how Joy feels the need to keep thanking us for stuff. Her friend Gayle says that, having been a nurturer all her life, it is so difficult for her to receive nurturing. News Flash for Joy "Get used to it!"

You have nurtured all of us all your life, it's about time you got some of it back. We all love you so much and your recovery is the greatest gift you could ever give us. WE LOVE YOU!
