News update - funeral, physio, dog op

Monday was some day. I was up early and on the road to Bristol to my sister's. My lovely 'larger than life character' cousin William had died recently in France, following a fairly short and unpleasant fight with cancer. He had lived in South Wales for most of his life and his heart lay there so he was brought 'home' for a cremation service on Monday.
My brother in law drove my two sisters and I to Narberth for the service. Apart from a few cousins and partners who managed to come, it was a huge crowd of friends from his years in Pembroke. There was a lot of Welsh being spoken and many kind words and fond memories of William. Three things came to the fore about him: his kindness to others and love for them; how much he was loved by all; and how everyone remembered him for his filthy jokes! That was our Will.
I cancelled a trip to Suffolk for the weekend so I could be fit for hours of travel. It took me 2 hours to my sister's, then 2.5 hours to drive to Wales. We had a 'light' lunch before the service (jacket potatoes all round - but HUGE potatoes with a mountain of filling plus side salad!) then headed to the crematorium. It was a lovely and moving service. Brought back memories for me as William's second grandchild is on the way and will not know his/her Granddad. Our little Alex was just a 'bump' when Peter died too.
The journey home was a bit quicker, but it was after 10.30 before I was home again after another 4 hours + on the road.
Tuesday I mostly slept and lay with my legs elevated! (Apart from a bad move on the stairs that jolted my new knee painfully!)
Wednesday was a busy one. I dropped Honey off at the vet for the op to have her cancerous tumour removed. The headed to hospital for a physio session. My knee was a bit stiff and painful after Tuesday but I gritted my teeth and got through the session ok. The PTs have signed me off now YAYYY! :D No more hospital trips for physio.
I dashed to Wimborne for a late lunch with John before heading home to collect Honey.

She was a bit groggy and obviously very sore after her op and the site looked rather angry. She slept after getting home. I ended up sleeping the night on the sofa with her on the floor, as she could not make it upstairs to sleep with me when I went to bed. After an hour of her whining and crying I gave up and joined her downstairs. Peace for us both then :)

I did the same last night as it looks like she will be able to manage the stairs tonight. (I hope)
Thursday the wound looked a lot better and calming down nicely. Very little swelling now.

James popped round tea time to help Jenny swap our old huge 'fat' TV for the new thin one I'd bought. It's a big screen and super to watch.
The old TV is in the boot of the car ready to go to the tip this morning :)
I hope there's a man or two around to help shift it out of the car!
I just need to sort the DVDs and Wii games now and give the whole table/trolley a good clean. I do dust round regularly but was a bit horrified at the layer under the old TV as I could not clean under it.

Have a great weekend whatever you're up to. I think I might be watching some movies :D
