No longer in Kenya (aaah!) but still a Kenyan at heart...

An update part two.

Firstly, to everyone that has sent me notes, text messages (guys, remember the time differences OK!), phone calls etc etc - thanks a stack! Y'all are really wonderful people.

It's been a few days of up's and down's but mostly up's. Hubby is a lot better (he's starting with his fussy ways again...) and we are home - our domestic worker has offered to stay over the weekend (even thought it was a long weekend in SA) to help me and to make sure that I also get some rest. The meds etc are quite demanding and meals have to be served at certain times and with certain ingredients. Something we've never done before, so this is quite the adjustment. We used to be very happy go lucky with meals and mostly ate when and if we felt like it. Anyway, at least it a square 6 meals a day now...

On the health front - he's breathing better and sleeping better because of that. The surgery scars are still very painful but the stitches are out and the specialist says it's looking good. He's picked up another 3 kilos (and I've picked up a kilo as well - eating in sympathy!). All in all, its still not nearly easy, but it's getting better every day.

As for work - the new post is great but very demanding - but the bosses understand that my priorities lie somewhere else at the moment. They've cancelled all my travel arrangements until the end of July in order for me to be home for a bit - good guys then. And I get to work from home if I want to, as long as the results stay the same. RESULT!

Hope y'all are well and happy and none of my US friends have been fried to a frazzle in that little heat wave.

Will keep y'all posted.

So glad y'all are doing good. I've
been worried but didn't want to
bother y'all. I knew that your
parents were there so it was all in
good hands.
If you want I can give Dawie a
few kilos of my fat. HA!
It's just such a wonderful thing
to know that all is getting better.
Just know that I wish y'all the
best always and forever!!

HUGS!!!!!!!

Glad you guys are home now. Wow, what a lot of adjustments. Will Dawie have to stay on this special diet and meal schedule indefinitely? Or will you be able to go back to your "happy-go-lucky" ways?
How wonderful that the bosses are understanding. Hope that bodes well for the future with this job.
