Busy................

So much seems to have happened recently that I don't know where to begin! I am sure also that an indepth tale would bore you to tears anyway?!

In short.....................

I am home but still in a lot of pain. There are days that I THINK I am much better but in the "real world" the truth is I am just learning to manage the pain better through an understanding of when and how to take the drugs! I am VERY aware of how little I have really "moved on" when I am even just a few minutes late in the taking of my next dose and suffer agonising pain until they finally take hold again. I find this both upsetting and extremely frustrating.... I am as you know an active person and not very good and the realisation of being "limited"..... I also am in a somewhat difficult position of having an "over caring husband" who sometimes doesn't quite understand that there is little I can do to help STOP the pain OTHER than take the pills. I think he sometimes tries "too hard" and I find that in itself a bit frustrating! Walking around is actually FAR LESS painful that laying up resting too much as I simply can't deal with the pain of pressure..........It sounds a silly thing to say, so I guess thats what he doesn't understand?! I guess in the past I haven't been very good at "resting" so he is trying to protect me but on this occassion I am doing what I need to do to prevent agony not "overdoing" it because I'm the stubborn mule I always have been! That said, I am fully aware that I must take things easy and I am careful not to do too much or go to busy areas where by I may take a knock so dislodging the fracture even further............My last x-ray showed the fracture had moved since the first.

The house is resembling a refuse depot....NOT I hasten to add because the helper is not doing her job properly but because we have a new business venture and its come with outrageous amounts of paper work to absorb as quickly as possible! Graham and I are now the owners of an International IB based PYP school here in Singapore! Last week involved the appointment of a new Principal who we have brought in from Adelaide, Australia having a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field. She has worked in Mongolia and Brunei in previous years on similar projects so hopefully will be the amazing "Captain at the helm"?! I will have a large role within the school, but in a different capacity involving new and existing roles yet to be completely finalised, but on a more "Managerial/liaising" level. The Curriculum etc will be the responsibility of the Principal who is more experienced in the field so ensure the children are educated to the highest possible standard in our "school of excellence"! It is an exciting time involving many changes and its becoming difficult to prioritise priorities!!!!! Rome, however, was NOT built in a day and there is a big vision of both short and long term goals to be achieved so softly, softly..........

For now thats all............

A cup of tea is calling............
