Yes me too! I will give what I can.

On a side note I am home today. Ex MIL bought over fresh sheets and made my bed and my girlfriend heated up some broth for me to have before I have a sleep. My girlfriend and I have decided to call my sleeve Bella banana. Lol, I think it's kinda cute! So Bella Banana and I are having our broth then are off to have a sleep!

Yey kayargh!!! Ahhh how I love fresh sheets!!! Count me in too :P

15 months post op, to the day, wet n wild Sydney will be opening 10minutes away from my house. SEASON FREAKING PASS!!!!!

I'm so excited, I'll be able to do everything in there and not worry about wearing swimmers, or looking like a beached whale. Most incredible motivator ever!!!

I am completely overwhelmed by your generosity to me - a person you don't really know. I am speachless at your kindness. Though I can not accept any cash from you ( I have very generously been given as much time as needed by John Flynn to pay when I am back to work) I would love to arrange to meet with you before I go home and then perhaps again at the 6 th and 12 month mark? Truly, I feel as though I have friends in you all through what has been an especially tough period. God bless you all!

Lila, we are all really kindred spirts going through this unique experience together ad it's great to be able to support one another.mi look forward to meeting you soon and it's great that the hospital are fexible re payment. Take care. Kelli

Had another setback today I am afraid. Ct showed more pooling in my abdomen so they are trying non surgical options with the drains but if it doesn't work they will have to reoperate. The upside is though that they found it earlier than last time so hopefully it won't be back to icu :) they are the sorts of silver linings right now

:( oh I'm soooo sorry!!!! I hope they can get it all out, I know iggychic has excess blood in her abdomen and it is very painful :( I just feel so bad I want to take it all away for you!!! You keep positive, and I'll keep you in my thoughts ok!!!!

Thanks Cookeeeeez... I just wish I had good news to report. It's getting all a bit blah blah in terms of my health. Have to say though the staff here are crazy good!, makes such a difference

Hi Lila I am thinking of you and so sorry things are not as good as you hoped yet. Like you said, I think they are right on to it so it is great that they found this quickly.

Like everyone else here, I feel so helpless and wish there was something I could do to make things better for you - hence the offers of money as it seems the only thing that we all can do to give you practical help - can totally understand why you wouldn't feel comfortable with that. I just keep trying to send positive energy your way - I am not big on praying but would be willing to go there for you!

It is fantastic that you have caring hospital staff around you - it makes all the difference. All the best to your family too as they must be worried. Take care and keep smiling :-)

IVE BEEN APPROVED FOR EARLY RELEASE OF SUPER ( sort of ) the bloke rang today to query some things on my application and said it all checked out, I said so does that mean its approved and he said when I get the letter it will be approved, but yes Im pre approved. Rang Super and they said it takes 5 working days to release Super. SOOOOOOOo it might be all done by end of October sleeve included WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO. On a side note Lila I asked if something went wrong would I be able to dip in again and they said yes so its something to look into.......

That's great Scotty. Best of luck
