My Great and Terrible Blog
I’ve just gotten a phone call confirming my surgery for next month. Which is great. The woman I spoke to said ud I get covid-19 between now and my surgery it’ll be put offfor 7(!!) weeks. Which would be a horrible wait!
I’m not that sick at the moment but I am very slowly getting worse with each passing day/week and really don’t want to put off any longer…. And I want to make sure I have as little time off work as pratical too.
I should be having my surgery on Monday the 5th of September, which means I’ll be going into hospital on Saturday the 3rd and coming back home sometime at the end of the week/the following weekend if all goes well! I am a bit disappointed it’s not going to be this month as I do want to get it over and done with asap but the start of next month could be a lot worse!
I am currently planning on taking the week before hand off, so that I reduce the chances of me getting sick with a cold, the flu, or covid and spend the whole week at home basically… The last thing I want at the moment is to have my surgery postponed because I’ve caught something else!
Sometime, hopefully, in the next 2 to 3 weeks I’ll be in hospital for about 7 days for a majorish surgery. I’m currently assuming I’m going to be boried a lot of that time and one of the things I’m sort of planning on doing is posting here more often on the days I’m feeling well enough to do so… At the very least I will have 2 days before the surgey in hodpital as they change over the blood thinner I’m currently on to one that can be neutralised during the surgery itself.
I’m currently waiting for my hearing aids to be checked as its the 6 year mark! My hearing isn’t worse which is great and at least I’m getting this in between covid-19 lockdowns!
Decorations are going up in the central city now too. Nothing too interesting yet expect for the yearly C&S Christmas windows.
Decorations have started going up in ghe central city, so I thought they would be a good way to give the wordpress app a test…
I’m having my 2nd vaccination this coming Monday and I’m going to be very pleased when it’s over and done with! 🙂 Then it’s just a matter of waiting out the 2 weeks so I can go from the 90% coverage to 95%. I could have gone out today to get it done as I’m passed the 3 week mark by now, but I thunk it’s going to be a lot quieter on Monday – which is when I have my appointment set up for anyway…
I am getting mind numbingly bored with this lock and I can’t wait until enough people have been vaccinated for things to start going back to normal(ish) again. I can do some work from home, but not a lot so don’t have much to do and I’m sick of watching stuff on Netflix/Prime Video by now.
My parents got a new cat in February – just before the first covid-19 lockdown luckerly!! She has settled in nicely and is getting on with my brothers two burmese cats too.
It’s very dark now and has been too dark for an summer afternoon. The cooler of the light has been slowly darkening from a general “it’s too dark for this time of day” to “it has a noticeable yellow tinge/colour” and now it’s a dark orange colour!!
It’s due to all of the smoke from the fires in Australia of course. Given how bad it is I’m just pleased that I’m not in Australia.
