Tomorrow I'm back at Middlemore Hospital to be re-operated on my hand.
Today I had my follow-up appointment, and the doctor agreed that the ring finger metacarpal is twisted, couldn't see anything on the x-ray, but looking on my hand it was obvious, so back to TADU I go.
I also need to find a 'reader/writer' to help with my Accounting Exam. This person cannot be a friend or family member or be a member of the accounting profession – and the reader/writer will need to email Programme Administrator to confirm that.
The exam is 7 hours 9 am to 4 pm (plus a bit of time on either side) if anyone knows anyone who might do that - doesn't actually need to write, but hold paper and go through me large volume of files finding useful notes. I will likely be boring for whoever does it (but I myself am never boring.)
Before I go to surgery in the morning, I'm going to tell a bit about how I have been coping.
As posted earlier, my flatmate Jouni has been great (Ladies, he is single! Has his own house (and mortgage), works hard, is intelligent, honest and reliable)
And me, Jouni has been all the dishes, was my driver a few times (he even washed my car! How amazing is that!) I have on the whole been able to look after my own food, (Jouni did open some tins for me. ACC sent board with raised side so I can butter bread). I'm able to shower. I even managed to hang laundry on the line (Jouni was impressed that I hung his out) (jeans wear to heavy to hold on the line with my arm, so just threw them over and pegged them in the middle.)
I did have an issue when I called Manukau Super Clinic last Friday, in that Middlemore had not sent my notes through, so they didn't know they had to call me.
I had another problem when I wanted to leave Manukau Super Clinic this morning, that the only places on coop Taxis account ACC gave me is home and work, should also have included medical establishments.
Everyone is impressed I'm handling it all so well - don't have choice, so may as well smile. I pray the surgeon tomorrow will fix the bone properly.
Thank God I'm in good health. Some of the grazes are now barely visible. Being so good does have its disadvantages; in my ambulance ride to the A&E two weeks ago, I was given some paracetamol. After I drank the little cup of water I balanced it on me knee, because the vehicle was moving it fell off, with my superb reactions I caught it with my right, and promptly regretted it, ouch, my right is also injured.
Till next time... pray for me and all the needy.
