Warning - icky 'womens' stuff
I had the coil fitted to try and stop the bleeding and it got worse but then eight days ago it stopped 🙂 I was however having problems with the thread stabbing me - the dr tucked it all back up again but due to the separated pelvis can't show me how to sort it out myself in future or just check that it's still there so if the threads fall down or I'm worried I need to go back to the surgery but that is actually nothing compared to the almost eight months of bleeding which was just grinding me down.
I also get to stop taking the hormone tablets which is good as I hate taking tablets :/ Now all I need to sort is the eye problem, an infected cyst on the back of my neck and my pelvis and I'll be almost normal again 🙂

Mary sat up all by her self from laying completely flat and then proceeded to tip the crib over - off course I had things set up so that the only place for her to fall was straight out onto the bed. But this ment Saturday saw an exhorsted Daddy, Mummy and Ferfer trying to put the cot up after a day at Cattle Country with the School!
Also due to floods and evacuating Jean and what have you we had basically nothing other than a bumper for the cot and when I checked on her Saturday night she had wriggled down and pushed her leg out of the slats at the end onto Jeany's bed. So today saw fun and games in Mother Care but more on that adventure later!
The Inmate looks very happy and we now have a lovely set of bed lining for the cot including another bumper and it is all textured aplique and Mary loves fabrics and feeling different textures so it is perfect.

Jean got her a musical flower garden for the side of the cot - something she can press buttons on and the flowers move and lights flash and it plays tunes Mary already knows so she does her little bobbing dance to them 🙂

It was however a strange thing - Jean moved out of our room at 6 months, Mary is moving at 8 and it's somehow didn't have the urgency it did when we had Jean - maybe it was just I wasn't used to sharing the bedroom with a child where as Jean still regually comes and climbs into the bed with us in the mornings.

Jean is happy as she cried when me and Mary moved out of her room and was grumpy we had her sister and she wasn't sharing a room with her like I promised!
As of last night Mary has a tooth 🙂
Tomorrow Saturday 24th September 2011 sees the Exhibition in Braille a touchy feely art attraction set up by Centre Arts to raise money for the Gloucester County Association for the Blind. Tickets cost £5 and are avaliable at the doors which are open 12-7pm.
There are some really cool things there for you to touch and feel and an interactive braille table to boot!
Here are a few sneak peaks but you can not know the majesty of these pieces without actually going and feeling them!

The exhibition has been put together with the blind and visually impaired in mind and as such bright vibrant and therefore easier to see colours have been used in some of the pieces and there is also a bueatiful light sculpture.

Then we come to my piece - the giant coral I have been working on for what seems like forever!

Which I set up last night 🙂 Complete with beads for the molecular sand! There are also MP3s of some of my poems that I felt where a good counter point to the visual/textural piece there to listen too 🙂
Wednesday Jean made her promise at the picnic tree in Cranham Woods and became a Beaver Scout - this is something she has been going on and on about ever since she was 3 yrs old!

She did very well and the District Commissioner already knew who she was because she had been so 'helpful' during the rest of the meet!
The DC also had Alaric's camp permit and Scouts came up with a plan of an off road mobility scooter so I can come back and be Skip :/
