The reason I am deferring my knee operation to the end of the year is that I want to recuperate in the summer, not winter!  I am petty good at handling pain so as long as I can last until then the wait should be (more or less) bearable - hence the cortisone injection to help to see me through until then.

After watching Four Corners last night with its food substitutions and things that are found in food, we ended up having an open Gozleme.

It was great Marina , nothing like a change of pace . Wagga Wagga is a beautiful town . That’s a long time to wait for your knee replacement.

A quick trip to DS uni . Was great to go for a long drive . Cannot believe how green it is . A day at the uni footy . Was great to catch up with DS friends . We were privileged to join them at the pub for presentations and dinner . Such a great bunch of young . Lots of chats with them . So many were at DS 21st . Out for Breakfasts too . Long drive back ! Tad eventful , not only did DH nearly collide at a roundabout on one of the days . We were very lucky , but hit a kangaroo on the way home , it’s not too bad but it tail hit the rear passenger door ( tail vertebrae marks and cracked paint . Then two kangaroos decided to fly across the road we stopped in the middle ( car behind nearly hit them too) . We were pleased to be back . We drove to The Rock which has some pretty country around the area ( that’s were the football game was . ) cattle country green lush and beautiful gum trees . It was cold too , we had hoped it would have been warmer.
