A certain degree of normality returned this morning. I had the alarm set for 6:30, and ten minutes later, Zoe arrived with Ellie. She obviously went straight upstairs to get into bed with Nana. We soon clicked into the old pattern of activity and were ready to walk Ellie to school at 8:30.
Di headed home, and I went for my morning walk. It was very chilly to start with, but I soon warmed up. Once home, I grabbed some breakfast and then spent a morning doing some admin and refactoring several parts of my financial spreadsheet.
Di, meanwhile, was getting her information together for an afternoon appointment at the hospital. We drove to the Nuffield and were seen by a charming Consultant. He reviewed Di's description of the problem and her previous medical background. Then he showed her X-Rays and explained what was visible. He talked through the options, and she decided that the full knee replacement was the sensible option. That's it. The die is cast. We just have to wait for a date, but that is likely to be 2-3 months hence.
After some Kindle time, I left Di to rest while I went to collect Ellie from Athletics. It appears she has a "meet" on Wednesday afternoon, but we have no real details yet.
