Thanks Sheila. The hernia surgery is turning out to be really frustrating. I’m classified as being “Urgent” but not an emergency (as in immediately life threatening). Because it is between Christmas and New Year, there are limited theatres operating and I am placed on an “Open stacked list” where things are done in order of emergency – this is now day three of waiting on the list – and have to fast from midnight each day – only to find I am bumped too far down the list to be done that day (usually find that out around 3:30 in the afternoon). Theoretically I am now being done at 6pm tonight – but we shall see. I guess it’s one way to be on an enforced diet!
Hope you and Chris have a wonderful new year, and yes – do hope to see lots more of you… that would be really lovely.
