T Minus 16 Hours

Eeeek! I have finished my last shift at work and thankfully it was super busy with a surgery thrown in so didn’t even have time to check my watch! Took morning tea in for everyone tomorrow because they are going to have to cover my shifts as our scheduled locum nurse got a full time job at the last minute…I feel really guilty about everyone having to work so hard but there’s nothing I can do about it now….thankfully food and chocolate go down well at work and it will soften the blow. It was nice that everyone actually made the effort to wish me luck and give me a hug because until now I have felt like it’s been a bit of a sore point.
I have tidied the house and have heaps of space to move around. Our lounge suite will be arriving on Wednesday, just in time for me to sleep on it if I need to…better late than never.
I didn’t get much sleep last night between nerves and the head thinking too much when it shouldn’t be. I couldn’t get comfortable, it rained and the down pipe outside one window had been removed for painting so the water dripped onto the garage roof below and on the other side the other down pipe was wrapped in plastic sheeting and was rustling in the wind, plus the neighbour was snoring exceptionally loudly (we share a common wall) so I was laying awake for what seemed like an eternity…never mind the fireworks at 12am argh!
Anyways, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be, just gotta pack the toilet-bag and I’m ready to go.
Thank you to everybody who has passed on well wishes, it means a lot ![]()

Best of luck to you! You’ll be off those crutches and running before long. Please keep us posted when you get a chance. Posting on pain pills always makes for a nice read, haha.
Blessings!!

All the best with the surgery!!!
