4.


1) hospital: Had my pre-surgical assessment at the hospital on Monday which was okay, though I still don't have a date for the actual surgery. The woman I spoke to today in the surgical booking office said they've had a lot of emergencies recently and my surgery might not happen now until December/January. I'm obviously very disappointed at this, but as I've waited literally years and years for them to do this full reconstructive surgery - as opposed to the regular shoring up (which is how I think of it) surgeries they've done over the years in the meantime - then I suppose I can wait just a couple more months.

2) freezer: Got home from the hospital Monday evening to find that my freezer door hadn't closed properly on Sunday and literally everything was ruined and had to be thrown out. Really didn't need that right now.

3) bathroom: Haven't had any more leaking in the bathroom since Sunday, but that's probably only because it hasn't really rained since then. Am now using pillowcases there to cover up the hole, and they're proving to be effectively absorbent. I'm nothing if not classy resourceful.

4) beach: Deb and I took a couple of service users out for lunch at Urban Reef this afternoon, which is a lovely place right down on the edge of my beach. After, we walked along the shore for a while, so here's some more random beach photo's for those of you who are interested:











Hope you're all doing okay ♥

1) I hope they'll do the surgery soon and you won't have to wait much longer.

2) Aw, that really sucks. =/ *hugs*

3) I'm glad the leaking has stopped. I really hope it won't happen again the next time it rains!

4) Yay, beach pictures! As always, I love them. :) ♥

It sucks that you have to wait for the surgery but at least it will be done. Those pictures are really lovely.

DOn't worry too much, December is almost here.*hugs*
Your pictures are amazing!

It sucks that they're making you wait longer for the surgery again, but at least this time you know you're going to get the one you need *hugs*

Those pictures are gorgeous! :)

I'm glad your appointment went okay :) And I'm glad you're finally going to get the surgery you've wanted!

That restaurant sounds lovely. Whenever it is that I get to visit Hotel Muppet, I'm totally taking you out for lunch there (or to another place, if you prefer!) No is not an option!!

1 - That sucks that you have to wait. Even if you have been waiting for a long time already, it is still annoying, regardless, if you have to continue to do so. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you're able to get in sooner rather than later *hugs* :)

2 - Boo-urns. That SUCKS. So sorry to hear about the freezer :P

3 - You live in a flat, don't you? Why isn't your landlord fixing your bathroom? Isn't that his/her job? (And forgive me... you probably answered this a LOOOOONG time ago, but I can't remember that far back, LOL!) Still... I'm glad to hear that at least it hasn't leaked any more than before :)

4 - Gorgeous pictures, as always! I love the beach so much! :)

*sending you love and positive thoughts* ♥

Ugh - freezer door - I had that happen once. Not cool. >_>

You are super super classy ;)

And again, I love the pics!

it's so lovely that you have such a gorgeous beach close to where you live!

Hope your doing okay, and the surgery occurs sooner rather than later.

That beach looks lovely! If you ever come to Australia, there are many a beaches that you'd love too!

*HUGS*

?? Hospital? :( I'm sorry to hear they're being twits about it though *hugs*
But yay for the non-leaky bathroom! And the pictures are so gorgeous.

[identity profile] chratz.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
omg, those pictures are beautiful. It really makes me envy you. I wish we had a beach. but since I live in central europe, we don't *sigh*

I wish you all the best for your surgery and I hope, you'll get it soon. Sorry about your bathroom business. but at least it's only the bathroom right? my uncle had water damages and it ruined his whole flat. :( so sorry about your freezer.

mine died last year, so we had to buy a new one, which really sucked.

*hugs*

Good to hear the pre-assessment went ok. I hope you won't have to wait so long for the surgery, but at least you know December/January isn't too far off. *hugs*

That sucks about the freezer! ARGH :(

Looking at the restaurant site makes me hungry :) And the beach photos are lovely. ♥

Lovely place!

The thing with the food sucks and I'm crossing my fingers for a relatively early surgery! *hugs*

1. I must admit to being curious, but also knowing it's none of my business as to why you've needed/still need all the surgery. I can't even imagine the strain it must put on you over the years. *hugs* I hope you get the surgery you've hoped for soon.

2. Damn. :(

3. Eeep. Could you not somehow get the SES or someone to shore it up from the roof with some plastic sheeting or somthing? Water coming in doesn't sound all that healthy. *Hugs* You are resourceful though.

4. You live in such a great spot.

This is me, catching up! I will laugh so hard if we're surgery buddies! But mine will be keyhole. We can compare hospital food.

Ugh, freezer. Hope it (and the leak!) is behaving now!
