To 10 Highlights of the trip

January 12th, 2010

My lumbar last night went really well, I had the same doctor as last time and this time she got it in first time. I also asked for another bag of IV fluids afterwards to prevent another spinal headache, and I’ve been okay today, only a little headache, so that’s good. So, only a week to go, I have an IV tomorrow, and my last lumbar on friday, and then I’m flying out on sunday!

So since it’s getting near the end now, I thought I’d write a list of the highlights of our time here:

1. mum accidentally flushing her sock down the toilet when we first got here (she was hand washing and didn’t realise she’d left a sock in the bucket when she emptied it into the toilet)

2. The injured door

3. Jenna (a 14 yr old SOD patient here) describing other patient’s bad moods as having “Beaver Brain”, and refering to platypi as “evil poisonous beaver monsters from the middle of Australia”.

4. The Valium 

5. The snow (view from our window)

6. Teaching Baron (2 yr old ONH patient) where his clavicles and kidneys are (and also my boobs. thanks mum.)

7. Nanna’s x-mas bonbons containing frilly knickers (which mum and I unwittingly opened infront of everyone. thanks for that nan!)

8. Chinese Santas with their beards not on properly

9. stealing other people’s babies

10. All the lovely people we’ve met (awwwwwww)
