Visiting Jac at hospital, 15/02/2007 Part 1

I told VR I was planning to be at the hospital by 10am the next day, and I would be leaving the house around 9am. VR is NOT a morning person and I knew she would find it difficult to be up and about so early! But she managed admirably and was ready to go […]

Valentine’s Day, 2007

*Still catching up with posts!* Thank you to everyone who wished us a Happy Valentine’s day! It seems like ages ago now. I spent Valentine’s Day this year hanging out with Jac in hospital – it was the day following her gall bladder removal surgery. It was a shame we were in hospital, of course […]

Using batter to block out thoughts of surgery

This was my dinner on the day Jac had her surgery: fish and chips and a banana fritter – delicious as usual, from our local fish and chippie. I tried not to worry or think too much about the surgery, but it was difficult not to, even with these deep fried goodies flooding my senses.

Bits and pieces

This morning I went to the print/copy centre at uni to get my thesis printed and bound, ready for submission to the examiners. It really is a terrible waste of paper – 4 copies of the thesis as required by the university, each copy totaling 440 pages or so. Luckily, my scholarship came with a […]

She’s home!

Jac is home. She’s had a light lunch and is now sleeping. Uploading photos and replying to comments will have to wait a little longer. Right now I’m going to sneak in a nap while she is asleep on the couch. I haven’t been through anywhere near as much as Jac, but I feel really […]

Jac’s surgery

EDIT #1: 7:14am Friday: I’m heading to the hospital again this morning. Not sure when the surgeon will be along to see Jac. Just spoke to her on the phone – she had a very bad night with terrible pain. The passing of the stones will be also very painful (yes – I had been […]
