Day 168: Surgeryland Recovery and Helen's Lapis Bracelet

We were up early to greet Chris the cleaner this morning. He is so patient with us, working around our various movements and always leaving the house so fresh and sparkling clean.
After a completing a few work tasks this morning, and after James and Lindy returned from the North-side we all headed into the city for a delicious lunch Chef's Gallery Chinese restaurant.

After lunch the boys peeled off to do their thing, while Lindy and I went to my appointment with Dr Elizabeth. Elizabeth gave me the last 'inflation' allowing me to preserve as much skin as possible before the radiotherapy begins. It will take a couple of weeks for the skin to stretch comfortably, and then we'll be ready to go again with the radiotherapy. Lindy took a photo of us leaving the clinic - she's the selfie queen!

We all came home for a relaxed afternoon  - I was too tired and sore after my trip to the city to go to the dentist, so rescheduled for tomorrow - something to look forward to!

Today I was wearing a lovely lapis and gold bracelet Helen (Day 50) gave me as a gift one birthday from a little antique shop stuffed full of treasures that we used to frequent just along from her place on Victoria Street, Potts Point. We both bought gifts for each other and for other friends and family there and were both very sad when the shop closed and was replaced by yet another cafe.
