Our apartment renovation still isn’t finished. The holdup is with the counter tops in the kitchen. I’m not sure why. There’s nothing we can do. They were supposedly ordered in July. So we have an ugly temporary counter which is better than nothing. We finally received our furniture which was in storage so had a pile of boxes to open and unpack. While the movers were bringing up everything on the elevator, a little Italian man entered and said our couch was here. This is another delivery-we’ve had several-where what we have ordered is basically just left on the street and you have to get it up to your place by yourself. Luckily, the movers who delivering our furniture brought it up. It would have been just Maurice and a guy putting up some light fixtures. I was, and am, out of the picture as I hurt my knee somehow in our new exercise club. I’m hoping it’s just a muscle thing and not something that will require surgery. I get an X-ray Friday. It doesn’t hurt while sitting or standing but I walk like Grandpa McCoy, a character in an old TV series. I manage to unpack boxes and put things away but can’t be much of a help in moving things. Also, on the medical front, I was having vision trouble and it turns out that I have a cataract in my left eye and will have surgery in November. Cataract surgery used to be a really big deal with patients having to lie prone with their heads between two sandbags for a week. Can you imagine? Now it is all done in an hour and you go home shortly afterwards. I’m not looking forward to it but will be glad to have good vision again. I thought there was something wrong with my glasses. Anyway, here are a few photos of our place. More to come if we ever finish.
I’m sad to read about your exercise injury, and the delay!
Your flat is beautiful, by the way.
Hang in there. It won’t be long until you have everything settled and in place. I know you are going to be enjoying living in that apartment - you will spend many hours with food and wine enjoying the view. My mind will be enjoying it too!
Your apartment will be lovely once everything is done, I’m sure. I too suffered with a bad knee earlier this year, as I’d overdone walking and tennis, but after xrays ruled out arthritis, hurray, exercises and time helped. Thank goodness - it is depressing when you wonder if you’ll able to walk any distance in the future. But you will!!
Your place is gorgeous and in no time at all it will be arranged exactly as you like it. Hang in there!!
Sorry to hear about the knee injury but you now have a good excuse to indulge in more reading. 😉 It will just take a little time and some faithfully executed exercises (and hopefully not surgery) to sort itself out. However, if surgery is in the picture it’s not too bad - take it from one who had both knees replaced simultaneously. I know you must be frustrated with all the delays in your remodel but it certainly is looking good so far.
