Therapy Things

Yesterday's Bris-Vegas trip was great (altho' of course it rained on the way). The therapist spoke to each of the girls individually. Cas was most interested to know why the docs can't give us leggie loo afterwards to keep (she loves her mementos) so Cherie explained to her that leggie loo will be cremated along with a few other people's body parts (argh!). Jadie did her best to distract Cherie from talking too intimately about anything. And Tara zipped in and out - Cherie says she's very prepared and ready for this and didn't need any therapy at all.

Cherie warned Tone and I that the medication after the op is likely to make Tara quite grumpy at times - but Tara's VERY cute when she's grumpy, so I think we can handle that. She also said there is usually some grief experienced afterwards, and once she heard how much leggie loo is loved - she suggested we have a Goodbye Leggie Loo Party with the family. I wasn't 100% sure but we chatted on our own with Tara and she's keen to do it, and to keep it small because she doesn't think it'll have "much meaning" for other people. So we'll do that on Easter Monday.

Tara's physio was very happy with her progress. In fact it was quite exciting being at pre-hab for a change because they were all sooooooo impressed by Tara's demeanour and physical condition that they're so excited and can't wait for her to have the op. They say they're looking forward to working with her after the op and watching her  gain so much freedom. They reckon she'll fly! Apparently it'll be 10-12 weeks before she starts walking...it's gonna be AMAZING to see Tara take her first steps!

Tone went to Noosa afterwards (for business and fab gourmet pizzas with Giorgio and family) and we girls trained it back to the Goldie, got a lift with Vets (thank you!) to school, and arrived just in time for drama...which was perfect coz Trixi the Clown visited!

And then home to watch Mr Bean (thanks Lizzie Loo - so divine to see South of France!!) - and read some FAB emails from two of the wildest, most inspirational girls you could ever meet...who live in such different parts of the world - Katie in Winchester and Janelle in Arusha!
