Special Mom’s blog

Okay, I am not going to talk about me. But I am going to talk about a friend.

Me and my husband are friends with a couple in their early and mid seventies who bring their dog for a walk. We meet them almost every day during our walks.

The wife underwent double hip replacement first week of August. She is a nurse and I enjoy the conversations I have with her. Before she underwent this surgery she explained to me in detail her post surgery plans as how to run her household with her husband. I definitely learned a few things.

It is seven weeks post surgery and we met her husband yesterday. He told us she is recovering good. In fact she walks slow and that is the reason she is not out in the park with him and their dog. But she now drives for her physical therapy and she also goes to her job! Yes she is now giving flu vaccines. Wow, isn’t thay wonderful! Trying to do something and keep yourself engaged.

I asked her husband if he was doing less house work, he smiled and said yes!

I love when people do not throw themselves a pity party! I do not know if I would be like her when I am in my seventies. Maybe I should try!
