Lot to puzzle about today.
I think I mentioned that bluey and shinny came over to visit two nights ago and we did a Jig-puzzle. Yesterday bluey and I did a puzzle, today I did puzzle with a bit of help from bluey. I'm getting addicted! My Mom used to do puzzles and would have 20,000 piece puzzles set up on a slab of plywood in the living room. I kid you not. sometimes these puzzles would take weeks of her time on and off to finish. I used to tease her about them. But here I am keen as mustard to get back to it. Weird eh?
Last evening I had my ultrasound on the liver again, and again the ultra sound tech said "hmmm, have you had any problem with your blank before?" (in this case insert pancreas) I'm thinking "s**t there goes another organ" (or worse) however Shoes was in this AM and says "ultrasound was clear, by the way" That was close but what about the cyst on my pancreas says I. He says everyone has one, don't worry (be happy) du du duddy du du.
He is still concerned that I itch so is doing a skin biopsy to have it definitively looked at. "we'll keep you on the anti biotics for a couple of days to be safe, and oh by the way you are in for the weekend. probably kicked on Monday.
Bluey is disappointed as we thought we might be meeting Jo and Gene and Bev for lunch at Alexandra Surf Club. I'll wait to hear how that went. Guess I will get a visit this evening from them.
I may be reacting to the drip antibiotic they are giving me as this afternoon's little cocktail was infused faster than usual and my back flared up like a rocket. My afternoon antihistamine and pnandol damped it down.
Geesh I wish I had ruby slippers 'cause now I want to go home.
I have started to amuse the nursing staff. My infuser pump gets filled up with one antibiotic then when it's finished it needs to have a flush setting, then after that a slow maintenance drip setting, then the other antibiotic and so on. I have taken to walking the stand down to the nursing station. They went off today talking about how they love this drive by nursing, offering to up-size my drip, and asking me to park over there while they get my order ready.
It's pretty weird sitting here with my drip stand next to the kiosk, plugged into the wall. I'm getting good at finding power points in the patient lounge, etc to keep the battery life up. I pretty much want to be anywhere than in bed.
Greeting to pseudo-Sib, shiny, bluey, Dan, DT, Cory, Serena, Jazz &BP, Lynn and Peg, Callum, Greg, MargieB, Regs, all the gang at USHS,Alicia, Lisa, Ret, Don, John and Ginger, Nate, Auntie Marion and all the others thinking about me.
Thanks and
more later

See my ideas are entertaining you even now. I am glad you have found something to do with your idle time. No doubt you have a lot of it in hospital (though I suppose you were ‘released’ today). Jig Saw puzzles are almost as good as those cube thingy’s where you have to make all the sides the same colour. (You know the ones).
My late night’s are now Tuesday and Wednesday (Tuesday because I have an English literature lecture till 8pm and Wednesday because I have Judo). So I will hopefully be crashing at your house on Tuesday nights now (on Wednesdays I will go home with Jess and Karla).
Anyway, be prepared for a grinning me on your doorstep. Try not to be terrified (I know it is hard).
Haha.
I hope you start to feel better! Go the Jig Saw! Go the cookies! Go the pirate/robin hood napkin hats!
Love Sian.
Hi!
Great to read your news Chris et al. have had to have dear Alicia vet the site first for photos!
The grass is green and our Don is polishing off the mower for the job a head.
Hope to see you on Thursday 28/2/07.

Hey Chris, Hey Joyce.
I have just read you'r other entries (yeah I know I should really get on the net more....maybe I'll go on one of the net dating services later.... Ha ha just kidding!) and I do believe that I need to see one of those hospital gowns. They sound like a tortourous, medievel potato sack. I bet if you could go back in time to find the guy who invented them you would kick him (yes a HIM) in the shins. (If you get the opportunity some time, watch Blackadder and to see this in action). You're a clever fellow though Chris and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before out of it's clutches and figure a way to roll over the metal bars on the side of your bed. (I dare you, just to prove you can MWA HA HA HA)
I have a funny story. I had my first wee little bang with the car! Ok it was kinda dark and I was coming home late and I was aiming for the garage but I just kinda missed and just went straight into the wall of the garage instead. I swear I could have almost gotten away with it except for the fact that I had already taken my seat belt off and slammed into the steering wheel which honked the horn. Hmmm...Neadless to say I have single handedly altered the artistic sculpturing of the garage to some degree, and the car is grumpy with me so it's grumbling at me a little more often. The funny part was dad, he came out and he was saying "I'm not angry. I won't get angry.... *%$@!!!!!!" Good to see the positive self talk.
Talk to you soon. Love you both, Lisa
Lisa,
Everyone has a little car bump early in there career. It is part of reminding you that driving is a huge responsibility, and keep the adreneline up! Better in the garage than on the highway, I say.
Miss you heaps,
love,
JC
PS Ret, looking forward to seeing you soon!
