    Day 36 post-op. Dinner last night: a small bit of potato and carne mince === Rain: 2 Laundry day today so I’ve done all the laundry, folding and putting it away. I moved the bus fridge from inside, out to the shipping container as it’s taking too much room up on the floor and we’re…

    Day 35 post-op. Dinner last night: the ‘usual’ === Rain: 0.5 I went and visited with my Friend this morning and spent around an hour and a half there which was lovely way to spend some time. It was a little bit awkward because I couldn’t drink much of the coffee that she made me…

    Day 32 post-op. Dinner last night: custard and vanilla rice === Rain: 2 Some pain came back late in the even yesterday, but has mostly gone again this morning.

    Day 31 post-op. Dinner last night: custard and vanilla rice === Rain: 9.5 I woke up with almost no pain this morning, which is a big relief. I can only hope that this time it stays away for good! I also managed to sleep better. I still haven’t heard back from the Surgeon, so will…

    Day 30 post-op. Dinner last night: Savoury Mince === Rain: 5.5 I woke up this morning and I was back to having pain around my stomach area. I didn’t have a good nights sleep either and was tossing and turning a lot, but that was from leg pain, not from stomach pain, so I’m feeling…

Dinner last night: satay rice custard, and a small cracker with soft cheese. === Rain: 19 The Dietician appointment yesterday afternoon was scheduled for 4:15pm, but she didn’t call through until 4:45pm – but she’s not usually late, so I’m not having a whinge. We discussed moving onto soft foods and have…
