Because it's been a week since my last proper update - and because I promised several people a normal post of some sort this week even though I've pretty much had a hellish week - here you go...
* My brother Andrew finally has a physio appointment for December 2nd. It seems incredible to me that you can get stabbed and then have to wait three frickin months for follow-up treatment.
* Also on the subject of hospitals,
deans_babe and I realised this afternoon that it's a year ago today that I was in hospital having my latest nose operation. We were laughing at how I remember coming round from the anaesthetic and seeing a very cute young man (nurse I guess) sat next to my bed, at whom I grinned like and idiot and said 'he-llo' in a mightily attractive and slurry way =) Oh, and one year on I'm still waiting for my 3-month check - awesome huh? Am so not surprised though considering how many times they've done - and screwed up - that particular operation.
* Had
aruna7 come to stay last weekend and it was wonderful to finally meet her - she's so damn lovely and I hope she can make it back again during her time in the UK. As well as perving at some surfer boys down by my pier, she got to see a very attractive one undressing on the side of the road, so I think her trip was complete =)
* My shitty week involved very, very stupid people at work who quite frankly need a damn good slap, plus the fact that I've not only buried myself in RL work this week but also in site (Kawoosh!/Impala) and comms work too - so I apologise for all the pimpery and announcements you've likely seen from me all over the place, but you should know by now what a pimping whore I can be at times.
* Tomorrow is Halloween - my favourite holiday of the year - and this is reason enough to help me get through the last day of the week =) Happy Halloween all - hope you enjoy yourselves =)
* Who wants mail? Seriously - do you? Comment here and you shall receive - might be a postcard, might be an actual card, might be a mini package of glee - pot luck what you get really but you shall get something =)
*huge hugs all*

Me? ^_^ :makes puppy eyes:
Good thing that your brother finally got an appointment. A bit overdue IMO. I hope this will help him.
Sorry to hear about your shitty week

I'm glad that Andrew finally has his physio appointment! Will it be an initial assessment of the damage and deciding the best way to move forward, or is he going to be starting treatment there and then?
I don't understand about your nose operation :S but I'm very, very glad you're okay :)
I really will go and put drawing pins on everyone's chairs if you want me to! I'm stealthy like a mouse when I'm not... y'know... losing another battle of Kayla vs. The Clumsy.
Happy Halloween!

I'm glad to - he actually smiled when he told me, which isn't something he does often *lol* I'm not sure what happens at the first appointment but I'lve told him I'll take him if he needs/wants me to.
The very short version of my nose op stuff is here. They operate on it every few years and screw it up every damn time. Frickin idiots. And I hate my nose. Nuh.
Well they're pretty worn down from my cutting snark this week so chances are they wouldn't notice the pins, so you go right ahead!
*heffa hugs*

I barely breath with it anymore, thanks to allergy too, so I guess I probably have one more operation in my future...
So, complete understandment and a lot of wishes go to you, my friend.
I hope your brother gets back in former shape soon...

I hope Andrew will be okay now - at least he has something positive to look forward to and that's a good thing. persoanlly - and i know this sounds weird - I'm looking forward to the court dates. I want to see the bastard who did this to him (and his friend) sent to prison for as long as possible.
*HUGS*

I don't think that's weird. If that was by brother he stabbed I'd want to see him burn in hell personally. So you ar enot weird at all. In my personal little special world I like to think that eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth should be applied even today for some cases. I bet that would teach some good lessons a little jail never will.
I hope I didn't sound scary *lol* I swear I'm not the female version of Dexter :P

I don't really like feeling this angry towards this person, I don't really do these kind of feelings well. But I want to see him charged appropriately and sentenced appropriately - I think he's an animal for what he did and he needs to be put away. So I WILL be there at the court dates, so I can see it for myself.
I hope I didn't sound scary *lol* I swear I'm not the female version of Dexter :P
*lmao* Ah - at least Dexter would take care of it pretty damn effectively!

That's beyond ridiculous, that they make Andrew wait so long. Although it's pretty much the same here. 2-3months is a usual wait for a visit at specialist. This always makes me so damn angry, considering how much money they take from my monthly pay, for so called public heathcare.
But it's a good thing that at least there is a date set up for Andrew.
Stupid people at work? I'm starting to suspect they hire them on purpose. No idea what purpose yet, but there's just too many of them for it to be a coincidence *is disgusted*
And happy Halloween to you =) It's not a holiday I actually celebrate, but I hope you'll have fun =)

It is crap how he's waited so long - I mean, if it was a routine referral I maybe wouldn't be so pissed about it, but he was stabbed ffs, he shouldn't have to wait this long. *sighs* Still, at least it's finally happening and he now has something positive to focus on.
I'm not sure if the stupid people are doubly idiotic this week or if my tolerance threshold is so much lower - maybe a bit of both =)
Happy Halloween!!

*hugs* The whole waiting for appointments things suck. I tend to have to do it too (depending on where we live at the time) and it can be annoying... on the other hand, free health care...
*more hugs* have a good Halloween and take pictures if you dress up! (You can photo shop a jack-o-lantern over your face or something ;))
From:

Yeah, free healthcare is definitely a plus, I just wish they'd been a bit quicker taking care of him. Still, he has an appointment now so it's a start =)
I used to decorate the whole flat every year - take my borthers trick-or-treating when they were younger - I think last year is the first year I didn't decorate the flat or celebrate it as I was in hospital - bleeding pretty damn well so I'm sure I looked ghoulish! *lol* And you've seen pictures of me so I wouldn't need to hide my face! Unless of course you found the real thing too frightening! =P

You'll definitely get something - i'm still undecided whether or not to do Christmas cards this year, but I figured if I at least did something now then I hopefully won't feel too guilty if I decide against the whole Christmas thing =)

They undress on the side of the road, dammit. How am I supposed to not crash my car, huh? This one was particularly yummy too...
My operation was a year ago today - and I agree and hope they get locked up for a long time too.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY excited for Halloween. I think it's such a shiny and fabulous holiday. I would totally celebrate it every single year but my friends totally suck and therefore there's no one else to celebrate it with. *hangs head*
I'm sorry your week was horrid. *cling*

Halloween is the best holiday of the year - I totally love it! When my flat is totally decked out it looks awesome! Shame your friends won't celebrate it though, that does suck =(
I'm just so glad it's Friday - and am hoping for a weekend free of drama and full of chocolate munching on my couch *fingers crossed* You have a lovely weekend =)
