I had intended to write a moving and poignant account of Son’s homecoming today.
Then, when my mum came over, I thought I’ll simply post a picture instead. Unfortunately it keeps going sideways no matter how many times I correct it!
Then, because his splint or jacket or whatever they call it, reminded us all of a corset (which, like shoulder pads, is apparently the latest ‘thing’), after Grandma left and Son was having a nap, I googled ‘women in corsets + pics’. Well, that was a bit of a shock! I am probably now on some police list of suspected pornography addicts – hell. So I quickly added ’18th century’ to my search phrase and, even though some of those websites were also a bit suss, I finally found this:
Then, I went outside to discover that one of the long lost hens had reappeared! I’m not quite sure where she has been or where the other hens are and I keep expecting to see multitudes of baby chickens but I can’t find any evidence of a nest. Later, when Son woke up I told him she’d returned and asked him where he thought she might have been.
“You don’t know much do you, Mum,” he said, looking down at me from his new height. “She is one hen and we have three roosters; wouldn’t you have a hiding place? You are so naive!”
We are back to normal!

I love this post! 🙂 So glad you are back to…cough…normal 🙂
He is so well – I’m amazed at the rapid recovery!
It is good to see him smiling! Love this! ~ Lynda
Thanks – he’s made the most incredible recovery and is a different person from just 2 days ago! I am so relieved. He’s in the kitchen now with his 2 best friends talking about sex (they think I cant hear them). It’s all quite innocent, don’t worry – quite cute!
Obviously takes after his Mother … innocently talking about sex that is…. ok maybe we are talking about the 80″s?
My long lost friend, Annywanny! I wanted to see you when I was in Perth but it was all so rushed – so, when are you coming to visit – hehe!
Your Son is really amazing.
This post is hilarious – I’m laughing out loud re-reading it.
It’s the second time I’ve searched on the internet for something innocent and been confronted with stuff I’d rather not see – argh!
I’m laughing and I’m crying. Congrats to son looking so damn good! Its an amazing thing this thing called medical science. Thankfully we are in a plce where there is more good than not. Its just really good to know he is back in your care. Whose better than a naive mom?
Haha! Yes, so far so good but I am preparing myself for some radical highs and lows over next few months. He is high at the moment but I will have to ready myself for the inevitable lows – that’s okay!
Wow! Son looks amazing!! Humor intact and WAY taller! Have you figured out how much height he gained?
It’s around 3 inches – not sure what that is in cms?
Hooray for normal! Enjoy.
Yes, he has just told me I’ve done a ‘good job’ with the house and garden while he was away. He seems to think he is the boss!
Absolutely fantastic to see that wonderful smile.
What an amazing young man son is. He is an inspiration to all as he has been through so much and now can stand strong and tall knowing that he has a truly wonderful, loving and supportive family.
Julie you are amazing.
Thanks, but I am not amazing – if only… hehe!
