The China Pearl Inn part 10

Today Xena has her first trip to the United States of America. Rick and I are taking her to the US Embassy in London to meet some of his colleagues before we register her as his daughter.
 
*the air tingled and moved just before she appeared on her rafter to look down on whoever may be about. *

Good Morning!

Colder than a witch's---*cough* no offense to witches. I was one for a very long time. Moved on. We're in the middle of a ground blizzard warning. The winds are suppose to kick up and with it, the snow. Haven't seen that yet. I'm glad I have a day off before my working weekend.

CG... some complicating news to share with you and Kama. I just got a letter back from my doctor. Looks like my left knee is going to need shots and possibly I'm facing a knee joint replacement. Can't afford to take time off from work so I'm going to see my new knee doc in two weeks for assessment and I'm going to explain the situation to him. Hopefully he can come up with an alternative for me. I'm hoping they can brace it so between the brace and the shots I'll be okay for some time. Hopefully, it'll buy Dryfter some time to secure a better job that'll work for us and allow for my operation, months ahead. I just plain wore out my knee. I'm not looking forward to any of this. However, I'll face it and deal with it as much as my situation will allow.

Now, how is everyone else?

Knees are definitely not made to last as long as humans do. I hope the doctor can figure something out that works for you. Good luck. :)

Knee surgery is never easy to deal with and is only ever undertaken as a last resort. Your surgeon / specialist will advise you on what to do to help with your symptoms. If it is decided surgery is the only viable option you’ll be assigned a specialist nurse who’ll take you through everything. It’s a long journey but you should be fine afterwards.

Xena conquered the staff at the Embassy yesterday and was the star of the show. We plan to take her to Texas in the summer. We want her to feel she’s a citizen of two great nations.
 
GG enters the inn and sees its deserted. Covers the bar taps, ensures the fridge is well stocked and damps down the fire before securing the guard. Sets the alarms and scribbles a note for CG

Hi CG

The old inn seems deserted so I’ve secured it as best as I can until you return.

As a nurse I’m very concerned for your health and as an officer in NRR I’m ORDERING YOU to rest until you feel better.

On behalf of all the patrons past and present I thank you for everything.

With love and kisses

Iwasagoodgirl - better known as GG :kiss:

GG locks the door, secrets the alarm, Salutes and returns to the real world where Baby Xena is waiting.

Thank you. Both of you. I'll just have to wait and speak with my new Ortho doctor in two weeks. I'm sure we'll develop a health plan for me. :)

I need to go find something to do. I'm antsy today. Luckily work calls soon. Snow flurries and COLD winds are never much fun. You all have a great day.
 
*rolls out of my hammock, hitting the floor with a loud thud sending Shifu scurrying for higher ground*

Hey all, seems I was out for a bit, hope the world didn't end this time.

My dear, you really must take better care of you body, but I feel you knee pain. Hope the new doc has some new ideas. If I can suggest, some eucalyptus lotion doe's my knee some good when I'm aching.

GG, hope all is well on your side of the pond. GL with the embassy visit. I figure the RW will pull you away a bit more often these days so best wishes in advance :D

CG! I need a drink, I've recovered from some RW trials and I need a fix my good man! SAKE! STAT!
 
Ah real world trials do have a tendency to be rather nasty Kama.

I pass over a bottle and a glass to him then get a glass of my own.

To better days.
 
Cait I am holding a good thought for you that all will be well. After all you need two good knees If I am to chase you around.


G G ever the nurse evaluating the injured and determining the best course of action. You wear your heart on your sleeve and as always your compassion is front and center.
 
*Pours himself a glass, and tips the bottle to pour CG one*

Aye, to tomorrow for every day brings the hope of better things.

What are we to do with the beautiful women of the Inn Sir? I feel they are more than a match for the men off the Inn these days.
 
Ahh but the struggle is worth it Kama and the rewards are delicious! :devil:ish :D

One can win when apparently loosing. ;)

Thank you CG & Kama, I’m flattered. But please remember I’m a SOLDIER as well as a nurse. Anyone who threatens my Queen, Country, my Country’s Allies or my Colleagues will find in me the most merciless of all women!

But I’m also a wife and a Mum and it’s just gone 0235 hours here and my baby has a dirty nappy (diaper) and is hungry. Rick has just changed her, now I must feed her.
 
GG we could never forget that lol. Don't worry, me and CG could be dragged out of retirement to kick a few more asses if the need arises. You focus on das babe.
 
Is it great minds or weak minds that come up with the same quotes Kama? Hell I don't know...…..another drink?


On a different note the government is open for another three weeks so I can get some back pay. My question is in three weeks will we have to go through this idiocy again. :rolleyes:

Ah well nothing is to good for pour Vets and it appears that that is what the politician think when it comes to Coast Guard Vets. Three wars, two military ops, and drug interdictions. I same we didn't serve.:(

I wouldn't be surprised if it closes again. This has to be the longest two years in the history of politics.

I am not much good at kicking, but I can give a great dirty look, if that helps any. :)

I was talking to my grandparents last night who both agreed that we have the worst Prime Minister they can remember (and my granddad is nearly 80). But the alternative, the guy who will run against her, seems EVEN WORSE! Thank God we’re Soldiers of the Queen - I don’t think I could fight for this lot!

Any news from Shiva? If you read this know we miss you!

Meanwhile, Xena, having kept the whole house awake during the night is now sound asleep. Tough! We’re off to Church this morning!
 
I suspect we will see shut down look till 2020 sadly.

Who's y'all's PM now? May survived the no confidence vote right?
 
Morning G G or afternoon as the case may be. How did your little Princess due on her outing for that matter how did you do with a more or less sleepless night?

Morning Kama. The world is quite discouraging when there is no adult leadership and just squabbling children running things.
 
Today has been a very emotional one as I stood in silence to remember the nearly 12 Million people, half of them Jews, who died in the Holocaust.
 
We remember less we forget that mans inhumanity to man has no bounds. We there for must be on our guard less our darker angels prevail.

One of those things we should never forget, but that I don't like remembering. Just the word Holocaust makes me weepy.

Did you ever go to the Museum of Tolerance when you were in Los Angeles? The pictures... sigh. It is one of those places where you start crying the minute you walk in the place.
 
S F we best not forget. The forces of darkness always have to have a them to vilify. A dark threat that must be confronted at any cost. We must remember what that kind of vilification of a minority will bring. It happened in 1930's Germany and we best believe it can happen hear.
