monday post

Well, lst time I BELLOWED, the time before I SHRIEKED, so this time I guess I’ll HOLLER ‘ I’m HOME! I’m OUT!! I’m FREE!!!’
Of course, the stupid internet decided to die on me while I was in hospital, which means that right now I’m typing this out on a word document.
A second point of poof >< is that coda/staffing options has once AGAIN failed us. I used to estimate that they failed us once every fortnight or so, now, I guess I’ll have to change th1at to once a week. Ooh, the phone’s ringing … maybe they’ve found someone to come! Fingers crossed! Nope, poo poo… >< they’ve failed again. I mean, it’s my first day back at home, sheesh! Anyways, I wasn’t in the hospital for too long this time at all … I went once into the OT on Sunday, and again on Wednesday. And I’m a cyborg now – how cool is that? I have a computer-chip shunt in me now! It’s programmable, but I need to go to the loo now. >< sigh, more walkies for me. Oh well. Yup, me back from the loo now, no surprises here, PIG mum gleefully made ( and too bad, I’m not allowed to use the words I want to because PIG mum is too heavily censoring me >< but I’ll type it out once every Thursday) me walk in to the loo, made me yank my own daks down, made me yank them back up after a long tinkle, gleefully made me walk the few steps over to wash and dry my right hand, then gleefully made me walk back to sparky. And, coz it’s only a quarter to 4, I have the bad feeling that I’ll need to go again after dinner. >< should take my total plodding total for today to a couple of hundred, if not a thousand. Anyways, the really cool thing about the mater? Well, 2 things really. 1. every morning, you get the courier mail delivered to your bedside, and 2. while I was in hospital, I had this desert (I can never figure out which one is the word with the one ‘s’, and which is the one with two ‘s’s’) called an upside-down pineapple cake! Yum yum – too bad, PIG mum decided to steal more than half of what I ate. I think, the only thing I got to eat, in it’s entirety, was the cornflakes I got for breakfast. Even the cups of morning and afternoon tea, that came with 2 yummy cream bikkies – a cream one and a chocolate one – PIG mum would invariably steal one. I met some nice nurses over there: there was a man called paul, when I first came out of the OT, he had to run obs on me every ten minutes. I was like, “paul. I’m hungry. Hungry. HUNGRY.” After a few times, he was like, “right. I’m banning you from using that word anymore.” So the next time he came in? cheeky me:” paul. Starving. Starving. STARVING!” he bans me from using that word again, so the next time? “paul. Famished. Famished. FAMISHED!” haha, I was eventually fed a few finger slices of sandwiches at like 2:30am. Also, there was this really cool nurse called Mario (and yes, I did ask him, but no, he doesn’t have a brother named luigi:P) who wrote me the name of this really cool pasta restaurant at bardon called ‘evartis’ or ‘avardis’, or sth like that, wherever that is. Hey, maybe I can get my parents to take me there for my bday! So I went into the OT once on Sunday, and once more on Wednesday. I’m not surprised at all, that god didn’t care to heal my wonky left arm and leg, that’s hardly surprising. I’m just grateful that he didn’t murder me. Oh, another first for me: one morning, instead of having a shower, I had a sponge instead!
Anyways, this morning, PIG mum gave me a shower after I had breakfast – no chipolatas, for some reason. Just some yoghurt, a poached egg, some hash browns, some bacon and some peaches. Oh, and a cup of water-tea. PIG mum says I’m not allowed to call it ‘coloured water’, like I used to, else next time she’ll really just throw in a teabag and not put any sugar/honey in it at all. Then I went and did a stinky unspeakable, b4 she kindly gave me a barely lukewarm shower. I got redressed, had a tinkle, then PIG mum gleefully made (please wait till Thursday to read what I want to write but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum) me walk over to a chair. Andrew small, the physio that’s half Australian and half Japanese came for me soon after and we went for a walk, ending with some standing practice. Back in my room 901, I asked PIG mum to help me flounce on the bed once more to say bye, then I went and sagged on the comfy recliner chair and watched 7’s morning news, read by anne sanders.lunch came – yummy chicken pie and mashed potato. Desert was green jelly and custard. Of course, PIG mum nabbed as much as she could, and soon, it was time to go! I said bye to aileen and paul, and begged her to find Mario for me so I could say bye to him too.
PIG mum plopped me into a sparkles and took me to the loo once, b4 aunty anne came to pick us up, meaning PIG mum got to gleefully make (again, please wait until Thursday to read what I want to say but have been too heavily censored by PIG mum ><) me walk to her car. Aunty anne tootled us back to our home, ugly home :P and PIG mum gleefully made (again, please wait until Thursday to read what I want to say but have been too heavily censored by PIGmum ><) me walk in. we had a chat to aunty anne and said our thanks and byes; PIG mum immediately headed out to pig-land :P as I rocked online (I’m so relieved that the net is working now, unlike MSN ><).
When dear dad came home, we settled down for dinner – rice, some chicken and crunchy broccoli, courtesy of aunty anne. Of course, it goes without saying that PIG mum made my left hand hang onto the bowl as I ate, but thanks to dearest dad who poured me a cup of yummy, if unfortunately HEAVILY watered-down pear juice. I tootled back online afterwards, only to have nature calling me. I’d barely gotten away from the computer desk when PIGmum saw me, stopped me, and gleefully made (again, please wait until Thursday to read what I want to say but have been too heavily censored by PIGmum ><) me walk to the loo. Of course, it goes without saying that she also made me dak and un-dak myself. Then she gleefully made (again, please wait until Thursday to read what I want to say but have been too heavily censored by PIGmum ><) me walk over to wash and dry my right hand, b4 she gleefully made (again, please wait until Thursday to read what I want to say but have been too heavily censored by PIGmum ><) me walk back to sparky, where I tootled back online.
Oh dear, silly me’s somehow forgotten my MSN Messenger password, so will have to try and reset that. Actually, while I was hospitalised, the 2nd anniversary of god smiting me down with a brain tumour and almost killing mealso passed.
Anyways, finger’s crossed that the net is stillworking so I can publish this post. Then I’ll go to catch up on my missed episodes of naruto, if PIG mum doesn’t kick me off to bed. Ok, cya!
Cheers,
Em. ^^
P.S. almost forgot – the spam count while I was away was likew 602!
P.P.S. and my total plodding total for today is 1587 steps, or 0.47km, or 50.9 calories. :P
