Best/Worst

The 'Best/Worst' entries are an opportunity for all of us to have a glimpse into each others' worlds.  Once upon a time, people dropped in for cups of tea, rang each other on the landline, hand wrote letters, and were much more available for one another in a physical sense.  My blog is a new form of communication for all.

Please leave your best/worst for the week.  Here are mine:

Best:

On two occasions I had the opportunity to rest and relax in our new therapeutic spa bath.  I know that it is a luxury item, but it was worth the wait and the money.  There is nothing like lying back with a good read, a cold drink and the jets massaging my weary body - without a three year old wanting to hop in with me!  

Worst:

On Thursday, Luke had the chop.  Yes ladies and gentlemen, Luke had a vasectomy.  He is one brave man and certainly seems to be in the minority.  I will be forever grateful for Luke's decision and I know that he has done it also as a means to protect me from the woes of my condition if we were to accidentally fall pregnant again.  So why do you ask, is it a 'worst' for me this week?  You all know how much I would love to have more children, but my condition makes this a challenging task for me.  In fact, if I were to fall pregnant again I really don't know if I could be a very good mother.  The constant pain would be debilitating and I would find it very difficult to keep on top of our active lifestyle.  Luke having the chop meant that having another baby was really over.  This, within itself, is a grief process for me and one that has brought me to tears on many occasions.
