……from the clutches of the Whangarei hospital. I was let out yesterday afternoon and got to sleep in my own bed last night – ahh the bliss! I haven’t been discharged though so I have to return to hospital early tomorrow morning for the doctors ward rounds. And if all is still okay I am allowed out again for the weekend. But I have to go back again on Monday and stay in as I am hopefully getting to Auckland on the Tuesday. It was meant to be today but as it is non urgent it keeps getting put off. So we will see. ButI haven’t been in any more pain since Sunday so that is good. But if I get any twinge of pain while out I have to go straight back. The Auckland op is a telescope down my throat to widen the bile ducts so the stones don’t get stuck and then it is back to waiting to get the gall bladder removed. So that’s the latest. I would like to thank you for all the well wishes via the lovely Janine’s blog – so special and definitely grateful to have so many caring folks in my life. xox
Jaymin is pleased to have me home. Justtaken him up to the doctors though as he had a sore ear last night and yep – he has an ear infection so is now on antibiotics. I’m glad I was able to be here to get that sorted though. He is staying with Mum and is fine but as she doesn’t drive some things are a problem. But all sorted.
Anyway that is just the latest.
Sorry I still haven’t got to check out most peoples blogs – there was 609 posts on my bloglines so think I may have to flag reading all those lol. Just know thatI am thinking about you all and am so lucky to know such fantastic gals.
Take care peoples and see you when I’m back again lol

Oh Roo, fantastic to hear from you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have been thinking about you a lot the past few days.
Are you having an endoscopy? If you are, I’ve had three of those over the years, and they are good because they put you out for them so you don’t know a thing that is happening and you just wake up as they are taking the tube out. They even showed me pictures on the screen (FULL COLOUR!) of what they saw inside!
Now you keep taking it easy, my love. Be extra gentle with yourself OK!
Hope Jaymin is OK and is feeling better extra quick. xxxx

Pleased to hear you are okay and sounds like things are in control and it’s great that you can take leave from the hospital and head home and go back later. Not long now and then you can be pain free. Hugs for you. Hope Jaymin feels better son.

Mmmm … are you having an endoscopy? I’ve always done mine without anaesthetic and besides a bit of eye-watering gag reflex when they’re going in it’s fine; very interesting to be awake for as you see the whole journey thru and you can just hop off the table at the end, and it’s all over! I hate being ’sick’ if I don’t have to, so getting it ‘over and done with’ is worth heaps to me. Take care anyway; I hope everything goes well, and this helps … how long have you been waiting to get your gall bladder removed?

So nice to see a post from you! Have been thinking about you lots.
I read the first part of your post (about “escaping”) and immediately I thought “a Roo on the loose” … anyway, it made me giggle. But seriously, it’s great that you have been able to come home for a day or 2, and also for the weekend.
I hope all goes well and that you get the op done on Tuesday as planned.
((hugs))

I just bet you were pleased to be home – even if only for a little while. Best of luck for next week – will be thinking about you. Hope Jaymin gets well soon too.

LOL at Hannah’s comment, ‘a roo on the loose’ you can just imagine the picture floating around in my little head now! At least with what they are doing next week, you’ll be back up and about straight away, they might even use a sedative rather than a full knock you out drug – they did this with my sister when she dislocated her shoulder and then they got me to ‘wake’ her back up, and she was like ‘Trace, they haven’t done it yet’ umm LOL yes they have… apparently your awake but not aware.
