Nothing like dropping off the face of the earth

Helloooooooooooo,

Long time no chat!!!!!!!!

I cant believe it was June when I last posted and here it is the end of October already. Soooooo many things that should have been done between now and then, but, oh well, they will happen soon enough.

It really is wonderful to touch base once again with you all. Such excitment here. My husband received a bilateral lung transplant on 1st September and we have been in Sydney all this time for his recuperation.

The Doctors allowed him a few days at home (just a 7 hour drive) last week and it was great. If only to sleep in our own bed again.

Needless to say DH is doing quite nicely and has another month if routine weekly clinic visits before being allowed out on his own for a month at a time.

We cant wait to get back to normalcy.

It is amazing to see him so well.

As far as the patchwork is concerned not much is getting done. That's not to say it wasnt all brought down to the city for occupation, but alas, other things have got in the way. (Like lunches at Bondi Beach, lunches at Coogee Beach, a day at Manly, a trip to Cronulla.....the New Zealand Natural Ice Cream Shop, the Movenpick Ice Cream Shop....lol)

Cheers for today

WOW HOLY MOLY, what an incredible few months its been for you Jo and your DH. Thank goodness all has gone well for him and his major operations. As far as the pathcworking well I can relate to the other priorities you listed, I would probably be spending time there also (I might have some stitching in my bag but it probably wouldn't see the light of day!)
Nic to hear from you again hun and with such a positive post!!
