Oh dear, all our plans are in disarray. Ari told you that Dad has Covid and that may affect him being able to come home next week as planned. Well, everything became much more complicated when later on Tuesday evening some of the ligaments in Mum\u2019s left knee decided they didn\u2019t want to work anymore. She had to call her lovely friend to ask if she could be taken to the hospital. We were all in bed and had to wait to see what was happening. Mum came home just after midnight, wearing a big black thing on her leg. It goes right from her thigh down to her ankle and she isn\u2019t allowed to drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum has no idea how long she will be hobbling around on crutches. Ari offered to try using the sit on mower for her, but Mum didn\u2019t think that such a good idea. If Dad can come home Mum won\u2019t be able to collect him from the airport. If he gets here from the airport Mum won\u2019t be able to take meals up to him while he\u2019s in quarantine and can\u2019t get the room ready for him. We\u2019re all a bit fed up really, especially Mum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To Aristotle\u2019s disappointment it means he won\u2019t be going to hydrotherapy next week. On the bright side, Mum has tried cheering him up by ordering the collar he really wanted. She\u2019s just hoping the one she has ordered will be big enough for him. He\u2019s feeling very proud in the meantime as Mum is letting him use Alfie\u2019s old collar until it arrives. He says that is making him feel very special. Mum even asked if he wanted to keep it longer term. He said \u2018not that special\u2019 in reply to that one. He doesn\u2019t want to miss out on the opportunity of a lovely new one of his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
