hi rusty,

hope all is well with you, been real  frog weather lately lol,  ours are hopping all over the garden,

very fraught few days, hubby had is operation, but was 10 hours in recovery, had problems with his breathing, and crashing blood pressure, "a  few tricky moments"  the doctors told us. my husband never does anything by halves,no infection found at present, but swabs sent to lab. he is 80 but is more like 60, and a tough old bird as we call him. but all is well at present, he is very bright and happy he has a new hip at last, will be out of bed tomorrow, or monday to try it out for a few steps, to say we are all releived is an understatement, will just have to keep him away from ice in future.

keep well mally
