Making progress...

I've been home 3 days now...the diet is 'free fluid' for 2 weeks but that includes yoghurt, runny custard, jelly, sieved puréed fruit etc, so I've been eating a lot of dessert/pudding! Lol. The family have been visiting and eating normal food of course, as in DD1's snack of cheese and crackers in one of the photos below.
I thought it might be nice to use some glass parfait glasses but I suspect I took them to the Red Cross Op Shop in a cleanup last year. So wine glasses and other little dishes have been used instead. 
But I did find some glass dishes that my mum used to use when I was a little girl...


On the savoury side I'm allowed to eat puréed soup which is sieved and then thinned with milk...and once again, I thought that if I have to eat this stuff, meal after meal,(6 tiny meals per day)I'm going to use the 'best' china! Lol
My 'best friend' at the moment...
A sprinkle of this on everything I eat, has kept me regular...:-/

Today I have not needed to take anything for the shoulder tip pain so that's great and where the 5 little cuts are, have not been sore at any time, so hurrah for laparoscopic surgery! 

Yesterday I used some scraps of yarn to make some 'middles' of some granny squares and the plan is then to continue with rounds to make them 10 inches. 

But today I've been more weary and have done a fair bit of sleeping. 
DH is not well either as he's hit another obstacle to full recovery after his op 5 weeks ago...he has been battling a UTI for over a week but has had medication for it since Saturday. So I'm not getting 'waited on', instead the 2 of us are muddling through together. We'll get there eventually!!!
