My mother had her surgery yesterday My sister brought her to Dublin on Thursday And the operation happened early yesterday morningMy Dad stayed here while they were awayAnd we busied ourselves cooking and cleaning And generally making the house nice and comfortable for herThey arrived home today late afternoonMums foot is bandaged tightly And she has to wear an orthopedic sandalWe helped her in to the house And on to the couchThe general anaesthetic has made her very ill last night So she just had tea and toast and water We sat and chatted for a while Mum told is all about the hospital and the staff who were nothing short of brilliantThen I helped her put away her things And in to her pyjamas She's not as incapacitated as I thought she would be She can use crutches And get to the bathroom okBut she needs to help changing her clothes and things like that So right now me and mom are in the living room She is relaxing And I am blogging She will need a lot of looking after for the foreseeable futureBut I don't mind one little bit She has often done it for me
Mums operation has been a great distraction for me Given what is happening tomorrow The show in my equestrian centreThe dressage show to be more precise Myself and Star are making our debut!I can't lie I am nervous I really don't know what to expect of the show I'm hoping there won't be too many people there As lots of people make me anxious I basically have to do a routine with Star There are different letters around the arena And you walk or trot depending on the instructions All in all I've only done the full course about five times And I definitely dont know the course of by heart But lookI will give it a go It will be funAnd good experience for me Myself and Star are building a nice little relationship And he has started to co-operate with me Which is great So I spent the evening getting my clothes ready for tomorrow Eilish gave me some proper riding bootsWhich I cleaned up I'm wearing olive coloured trousersA gray topAnd a gray fitted jacketSo hopefully I will look the part
Anyway I'm off to have dinnerWish me luck tomorrow!I promise beaucoup de photos....
