ABOVE: This is Coco's boyfriend... he's coming over next weekend to 'be with' Coco...
Teddy has been trying very hard to 'do the deed' with Coco... but the poor bugger has no balls! lol.
Seems boys dogs still get the 'urge' even when they are de-sexed.
I'm catching the train to Middlemore Hospital today to visit Myra... my neighbour. Her daughter rang me last night to let me know she has turned the corner and is on the mend. I couldn't be happier for them.
So, I'm outta here for now...
ONWARD...
I caught the train to Middlemore Hospital... and spent a long and difficult hour and a half with Myra. She was in a chair when I arrived and was in a lot of pain. 2 nurses came and tried to get her to stand up and get back into bed... well that didn't work! She just got so distressed... it was awful to see her in so much pain.
After the nurses trying for about half an hour they finally got 3 more nurses to help and lifted her out of the chair and put her into bed.
ABOVE: the frailty of old age... she is COVERED in bruising... and is so sore.
The sum extent of our conversation was her telling me she was in EXCRUCIATING PAIN, she couldn't hear me cos she didn't have her hearing aides in and someone had taken her watch. I don't know if I can bear the thought of going up to visit her again... it was very hard to feel like my being there was making any difference to her.
JAXX: good point.. out of respect to her I have removed her photo... just in case. I will ask her and her daughter if it's OK before doing that again. Though what is 'appropriate' to put on my blog is up to me I think...and as everyone knows I blog about anything and EVERYTHING... so well... there ya go. (said ever so nicely of course)
Dinner tonight I tried a new thing.... Beef Wellington. Seared steak (scotch fillet) wrapped in pastry that has been lined with caramelised onions and herbs... then baked in the oven for 20 minutes. OMG it was exceptional! Everyone loved them.
ONLY.... it wasn't until we were eating them that we realised it was BLOODY PORK! lol
It still tasted exceptional. Salad on the side was almost not necessary...
END OF DAY: a nice day all up.... looking forward to tomorrow when I can get out and see the girls at the Hospice Shop. (I say 'girls' fairly loosely as I'm the youngest one there... lol)
nite nite.
