My return to work yesterday went very well. After a phone call to reset a password that had expired while I was on leave, I was able to get right to work. Fortunately, the task assigned to me had not changed much in my absence. Other than being very tired once I got home, there were no ill effects.
Excellent news.

I was quite happy. Another bonus is that I was so tired I managed to sleep four or five hours straight, which is something I've not done since before my surgery.

Awwww!   :hug:

My physical therapist was really happy with my progress today. My big problem has been straightening my leg completely. She did not measure today, but said there was a noticeable difference. I have been working quite hard to get my leg to straighten completely, so it was nice to hear that all my work is actually accomplishing something.

There's nothing like straightening a leg to make you feel cheerful Velma. Well done. :)

We just had a potluck and the kids got their certificate of completion.
:secrets1: I do have pictures, but I don't like to share my kid's pictures with the world.—I'm sorry.  :(
I know not everyone is mean, but I remember what Crow said about Bruno's daughter, and how he reacted. I wouldn't want to go through something similar. You're just gonna have to trust me when I say: He finished preschool, we had a great time at the party, —and he's really cute.  :smilenod:

That's okay Mags. We understand not wanting to put children's pictures on the Internet.

I'm glad that he had fun at the party  :)

I understand, and I trust you.  Would a mother lie about how adorable her kid is?  I think not.

Thank you, Ecurb Noselrub:hug:

Don't worry, I don't think he'll be going to: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'll teach him everything he needs to know.  ;) ;D
