Husband had his post-op check-up this morning. All is well and they don't want to see him for another year.
So it's over. But it's not. Because he's still not back to full health, energy, or fitness levels, so there's still a limitation on what he can do. So it feels a bit anti-climactic. I feel we should be celebrating but he's not up to going out much.
Which is why, I think, I've been feeling a bit restless this afternoon. Last year was a horrible year healthwise for him and that's all over, so hooray. Don't get me wrong: I'm delighted the op went well and his recovery is proceeding apace. I guess there's just been all this internalised stress that needs an outlet.
So . . . you know you get a good idea and then when you've started to implement it you think, "Was this really a good idea?"
Sorting out a kitchen cupboard was definitely a good idea but I was doubting it when I had taken everything out and wondering how it had all got in there in the first place.
But look at my cupboard now. A place for everything and everything in its place. For today anyway.

If only recovery were as dramatic as the onset. But it's good he's where he is anyway.
I often have a pang when I empty out an area and now I have to deal with it. Your cabinet is now showroom quality!
I wish your husband all the best and good health. I am 68 years old and prediabetic for 10 years now so I understand the lack in energy; I empathize. I have been living alone since my divorce of 1998 and have no children. I love to clean and organize and I have been doing exactly what you are doing now. You have done an amazing job, it looks fabulous!
It is something of an anticlimax, but recovery is really a waiting game. Consultants are always optimistic once their part is done, but they don't see the length of recovery and the various ups and downs.
Your cupboard looks amazing.
Good job on the organization!
Great for Husband to have a clean bill of health now! And your cupboard clearing out time was well spent, it appears.
your cupboard looks very satisfying..... if only i'd been able to buy myself some drawers yesterday i would have also had a massive "re-org"
Can you just take him out for a nice drive which doesn’t take much energy? It doesn’t have to be far.
That's good new about your husband.
A good way to keep busy here too, tidying cupboards!
