22 May 2015




There’s been a little bit of movement afoot.
When I rang for an appointment with the neurosurgeon who visits Warrnambool, I discovered there are no appointments available in Warrnambool until September. The next option is to travel (again) to St Vincent’s Hospital in Melbourne and they happened to have a cancellation for next Tuesday (26 May), so that is what we have taken. Mind you, I had a phone call about an hour later from the receptionist, saying that they just had a cancellation for that afternoon and would I like to take it (in around 2 hours time…)
So we’ll see what the neurosurgeon has to say about stabilizing my spine. We are hoping to do a trip there and back in a day, so hopefully our bodies can cope with that.

Brian had his procedure on Wednesday – came through it fine, but has been sore and uncomfortable ever since, so we hope that settles down very soon. It can apparently take up to two weeks before we know if it has been effective for him or not. If he is unable to drive to Melbourne on Tuesday, we have a friend teed up with Plan B!

I had an interesting email the other day from my 9-year-old grandson.
“Dear Nan, Do you have superpowers? Love Liam”
Hmm, that one was fun answering!
