Well yesterday was an eventful day.  Up at 6, out by 6:45 and then sit and wait while Mary had her operation.  It looks to have all gone according to plan and now only time will tell if the Doctors managed to sort Mary out so that she’s not in any pain.  There’s so much to be thankful for.

The operation went without complication and Mary’s home and recovering;

Mary had the best care.  You really cant fault the job that the nurses do.  I know that they can be bristly and austere but they have a massive job to do in an inefficient system and they have to do the best they can.  The staff that looked after Mary yesterday were superb, they were gentle, sympathetic, understanding, knowledgable and caring.  Even the consultant, and those that know mewill know that I’m not a great fan of consultants.

Whilst we’re talking about consultants I am extremely grateful for Mary’s consultants sympathy and understanding over Mary’s request for sterilisation, their wisdom for suggesting alternatives to defer the decision and their experience to be able to implement an alternative that Mary hadn’t considered and was happy with.

I’m also thankful that the first thing the girls wanted to do when they got in was see their mum.  Their’s nothing like the the support and love of your family to speed your recovery.

At long last the sun has come out.  It seems like it’s been winter forever.  Dark, gloomy and miserable.  Much like our global economy.  But at long last the sun has come out today and it feels like the winter has gone and the summer is coming.  It’s amazing what a little sunshine will do to lift the spirits and blow out the cobwebs.

I dont know about you but winter has dragged this year.  Maybe it’s because the whole world is spreading doom and gloom as a result of the downfall in the global economy.  Everything just seems to have been black for far too long.  However this morning I was woken by bright sunlight and I have to say that it was more than welcome.  I’m tired of the miserableness of dark morning and dark evenings. 

So come on Mr Sun make an appearance and shine on us all. Hopefully the sunshine will have a positive effect on the global economy and everyone’s outlook.  The more positive we are the better things will be
