Bubble wrap...

Hey Dot...
Yesterday we drove (at 0630 hrs) out to Orange (NSW)... about 200 klms... as youngest daughter, Simone, phoned to tell us that hubby Leon was finally being admitted to hospital for surgery oh his kidneys re kidney stones. Has had his admittance day put back numerous times due to more urgent cases in front of him.
Also... youngest son Billy - 17 - crashed his dirt bike during the national titles on Sunday ... middle of a jump & another bike collided with his front wheel & sending them both to the ground. Unfortunately Billy's left foot was caught underneath the bike & he suffered a very nasty break!
Both were admitted to Orange hospital yesterday morning, hence our trip up there to keep her company.
Whilst there we took her out for breakfast - coffee break for us - & during the discussions she asked if we knew a 'Dottie' .. surprise surprise. This led on to her showing us a msg/email on her phone regarding her wrapping the kids in bubble wrap!! By the time we had finished telling her the stories about how we met 'Dottie' & the numerous hilarious incidents we enjoyed over the past 14 years, she was just about wetting herself.
Needless to say she finally connected the dots (no pun intended) regarding Dot/Rob & Lynn/ & us...
Billy had surgery on his ankle & has wires & screw holding it in place, they also found a fracture just below the left knee that will eventually heal itself whilst possible ligament/tendon damage in the knee will require further treatment in a couple of weeks once the ankle situation is a bit better. Possibly a few months down the track.
Leon apparently has considerable stones in his kidney... yesterday he 'strained' a urine dump & found 17 small stones - the surgery removed a very large stone - an accumulation of numerous small ones.
Both going home today...
