Until we meet again

Sweet dears, this post is to inform you that things are going to become quieter on the Chronically Vintage home front for the next little while. The reason behind this is because I’ll be going in for surgery on Wednesday (25th), for reasons pertaining to the (unexpected) hospital stay I encountered last May.



{Unlike the chipper young lad on the cover of this delightful 1950s children’s book (which can be found in etsy seller Ficklefrog’s shop), this week’s surgery won’t be my first hospital visit, but what he and I do share in common is that both of our mothers were/are going to be there to help make things more bearable. My wonderful mom is flying out from B.C. to help look after me while I recoup, which I know is going to make this experience infinitely easier to get through.}


I truly do not know at this stage how long my recovery period is going to be (my body is often ridiculously slow to heal, even for the most commonplace of things like minor cuts and bruises, and in the past I’ve recouped rather unhurriedly from other surgical procedures I’ve had), but I’ve been told (by my doctors) to expect at least three to six weeks.

It’s likely that I won’t be blogging again for at least a couple of weeks, and should the unexpected arise (i.e., I end up having to go back into the hospital after I’ve been discharged post-surgery), my darling husband will most likely write an update post informing everyone of what’s going on. In my absence (from blogging), he will also be approving all comments and fielding any incoming CV related emails.

I’m going to miss you all very much, and want you to know how much I truly appreciate your support and understanding regarding this situation.

Be well, precious friends, and know that you’re in my thoughts, as I send out oodles of wishes for a positively glorious, entirely enchanting last month of summer to each of you!

  8. I hope your hospital stay passes uneventfully (boring is better than things going wrong!) and that you recover soon! Looks like that kid got his tonsils out - I know when I was little I was jealous of any of my friends who had theirs removed because I was convinced the experience would be exactly like that cover!

  25. I hope by this time you are well on your way to recovery.
    I just had to tell you that I am sure that my mother had that book around when I was little. I was never in the hospital as a child, but both of my older brothers had their tonsils out so maybe that is why she had it. I remember being fascinated by that book. It really did make going to the hospital seem exciting, which is kind of a cruel joke.

    I'm sorry to hear you're going back in the hospital. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband.

    It's been a strange summer for me as well. I've discovered I have a chronic illness and I can definitely sympathize with the unexpected (and unwanted) times away from things you truly love.

    Sending get well wishes and hugs your way,
    Jen
