I GOT THE CALL!!!!!!! CAN YOU FREAKING BELIEVE IT???? PRAISE GOD!!!!!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! How TOTALLY unexpected!!!!!!!! You may be wondering why I'm typing this right now... well I've only got to be at the airport at 5am and it's 1:45am now... Flying at 6:30. Seems like operation is scheduled for 12 tomorrow. It's so unreal. I won't be able to sleep even though I'm so tired, it's been a long day!!! Filled with disappointment, physio, a cocktail (thank you Daniel) and a phonecall at 11:39pm that rocked my world.

I'm quite nervous!!! Shaking a bit! Had a bath now. Will lie down a bit after I've posted this. Please pray for the following:
1) that everything with the flying etc works out
2) that the lungs are good to go!
3) no unforseen problems
4) my parents' nerves!!
5) the donor family
6) that the op and recovery goes amazingly well

I think that's all... Don't know what else to say... this is surreal ;-)

Untill next time, when I will be breathing well!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.s. my sister will update this blog and keep you informed!!!

Bad news (for me)!!! :-(

The woman waiting for transplant whose place I would've taken at the hospital in Florida (she said that she would be coming home at the end of Feb if she didn't get lungs) GOT HER TRANSPLANT!!!! Which is awesome for her and her family!!!! But not so awesome for me!!! It means I can't go... not untill 2009 anyway...

But I'm sure they'll be able to refer me to another hospital or something. I mean that can't be my only option. Will keep you posted. I want a tx THIS year! But what I do know is that when one door closes another opens. Now I'm waiting for that door!

Great weekend!!!!

Wow, what a cool weekend this one was... I feel like I've got weekend-hangover. It happens when you've had an awesome weekend and then the Monday is just SUPER boring and depressing. Let me recap...

Saturday afternoon I did a bit of exercise, followed by a nice bath. After that my mom and dad and me drove out to a restaurant just outside the city overlooking the sea, The Sacremento. Had wonderfull coffee and Lemon Meringue (my favourite). In the evening 3 friends came over. We had nothing planned, my mom and I had just made some food for us to eat. We just talked and talked, was great. Couldn't stop talking untill eventually at 11:30pm we were all getting pretty tired and they left.

Yesterday a friend of mine who is leaving for the UK on Thursday had a farewell braai (BBQ) at my CF doctor's house. (She knows him from church, and they offered their garden for her party) I thought it might be a bit weird socialising with my Dr but it was fine. They've got the most amazing house and garden! It was very nice, and the weather was perfect. So we all just sat under the trees and ate etc. Some people were swimming but I tried not to be jealous! Two hours after being back home my parents had friends over for coffee, chocolate and sherry. One of the couples' daughter is one of my best friends from school, who works in Cape Town. She was here for the weekend, so we managed to see each other for a short while before she had to leave for the airport again! She wants to really raise awareness about organ donation (especially under all those drunk university students!), so that's great. After that I went to church, which was also very nice, and we had coffee afterwards. Well, cooldrink actually because it was so hot!

So all in all it was my best weekend of the year so far. This year's getting of to a good start, I hope it's a indication of things to come! I'm almost off to physio now. And this afternoon I'm having coffee with my ex's brother. Really looking forward to it! It's horrible when you used to feel like part of someone's family and then all that comes to an end when you break up. So it'll be great seeing his brother again, it's been a few months!

Hope everyone has a great week...

Thursday...

Wow, the number of views this blog has had has really picked up over the last few days, or so it seems! My week's been fairly quiet after Monday with it's exciting news. Just the normal physio and hanging around the house building puzzles and stuff. The highlight was eating out with a bunch of friends yesterday evening. Will post some photos of that, since it's been a while since I posted any pics and my blog is starting to look pretty boring!

We went to Spur, which is like a family steakhouse, and a South African institution (with an American Indian theme...very lame!). We always used to go there a lot with our parents, but they're tired of the place now! So for the past couple of years I've always gone with friends. They've got the best burgers and you always have a great time there! It was my portable O2's first Spur experience...

A bit about my friends... The guy with me on the pic above is Daniel, he just started working as an aspiring Architecht. The girl with me to the right is Dieta, she just started working as a grade 2 teacher. The guy below is Andrew an aspiring CA and ex-ex-ex boyfriend doing his second year of training (I studied with him, that's what I would've been doing now if it wasn't for Mr Pseudamonas). The girl with him is Antoinette,

she's the one that I visited in hospital. She's still studying Interior Design. They are basically my close friends in Port Elizabeth. I've got 2 very close friends who now work in Cape Town and who I miss a lot!

Looking forward to the weekend, my dad's coming home!!!! Yay!!!! Also having lunch tomorrow with a friend after physio. Hope you have a good Friday!

Finally, some news!!!

Yay! I got some long-awaited news today! (ok maybe not THAT long, but a few days can seem like forever if you check your e-mail every 10 minutes, lol!) The big thing is that I'm trying to arrange to have my transplant in the USA. I mentioned on the 13th of December (I think) that I received a potentially life-changing phonecall... well it was a guy who I very randomly and 'coincidentally' (I don't believe in coincedence. Everything happens for a reason) got into contact with who has had 2 lung transplants in the USA. He is also a South African, very nice man. So with his help I've tried to investigate the possibility of also going that route. Apparently the US is the only country who does organ transplants on foreigners...

So after sending some medical records and info over, I've been waiting for a reply. And I finally got it today. I just have to add that after finally receiving the long-awaited e-mail and almost falling off the chair when seeing it, our suburb was hit by a POWER-CUT just as I was halfway through the e-mail!!!!! I almost freaked out. I had to wait 2 hours before I could finish reading it. Torture! But back to the story... The reply was that the amount of foreign transplants the hospital can do has been lowered to 5%, which translates to about 2 a year. And there are already 2 people from outside the US waiting there. BUT one of them might be going home if she doesn't receive any lungs by the end of Feb... (For various reasons) And it seems like I might be able to take her place then. So it's still more waiting ( they weren't kidding when they called it a WAITING list!), but at least I know a bit more of what's going on now. Really just praying and having faith that everything will work out!

Had a great afternoon/evening. Went to visit 2 sets of friends, was great getting out of the house! And just chatting and talking nonsense. Lungs were fine. HAVE to excercise again tomorrow! Going to have a quiet/boring day tomorrow. I'll dedicate it to my lungs... so what's new?! Hope the start of your week was also exciting...

Sunday night

Still waiting... Had quite a nice day, lunch with family friends, and a 2-hour long nap afterwards. Heard that a friend that I haven't seen in ages and that I had a crush on 3 years ago (can't believe how time flies!) got engaged! Wow.. very happy for him! Hopefully this week will bring some answers so that I might have some sort of idea what's going to happen this year!

Ugh...

Feeling very downish. Still waiting for news. Just SO TIRED of sitting around. And it's not like I've got nothing to do, I'm just tired of everything that there is to do. It's a Saturday evening, the weather's lovely. People my age are going out, having fun, falling in love etc and I'm just being bored and going to bed early hoping I'll have an exciting dream. Because I can honestly say that's the most exciting part of my life right now. Sometimes I dream I run, and in the dream I'm thinking 'I can't believe how easy this is'. Other times my dreams are filled with passion, but those leave me unsatisfied and wanting more when I wake up!!! So bottom line is: I feel like venting because my life's so boring right now and everyone's getting ahead in life EXCEPT ME!!!! My whole freaking life revolves around stressing about transplant and trying to keep my lungs in shape. (I use the term 'shape' loosely) Your 20's are supposed to be your best years dammit!!!

My day was ok though I guess. Saw a friend, had tea with my mom and 4 of her friends, and went out for supper with my mom. 1 Good thing though... The mucus from yesterday is gone.. Today was like all the other mucusless days. That's very good and I'm really happy about that. Hopefully yesterday was just a weird glitch in the system.

That's all I've got to say. Hopefully tomorrow I feel less depressed and I get that all-important long-awaited news!!!!

Freaky Friday indeed

Today didn't turn out as I hoped. Firstly I didn't sleep much last night. I'm currently awaiting some big news (which I will write about at a later stage), so lay awake wondering, thinking, playing around with all sorts of 'what-if' scenario's in my head. So I was tired the whole day. Secondly, the mucus has begun it's journey back into my lungs.. So I coughed a bit this morning. But by the time I went to physio there was not much left, so it couldn't have been too much. Nevertheless, I will just have to put in an effort to keep any infections at bay. Not that I'm not doing my best already.. Thirdly I had some kind of sinus headache, which didn't mix well with the hot weather.

I took a nap which helped with the headache and tiredness, but I didn't get round to visiting my friend. Watching tv with my mom right now... waiting for a BBC documentary, The truth about food. Looks interesting. Then last nebuliser and SLEEP!! Hopefully tomorrow is better! And thank goodness this week's finally over, it felt so long!!! Now if only all this waiting could come to an end.. that would make me very happy ;-)

Thursday evening

Wow, 70 people have viewed my blog so far this week! Feels like a lot of people! I don't have much to say really. Wanted to post a link.. this story has really touched my heart.. http://www.cfhusband.blogspot.com/ Please check it out if you've got the time. It's about a woman 2 years older than me who found out she was pregnant while needing a lung transplant. It's an amazing story in the making.. I'm really praying everything works out and that she and her baby are ok.

Didn't do much today. Exercised, nebulised, ate... all the usual stuff along with some building puzzle and watching TV. At least I saw 2 friends who popped in after lunch. Last night was very nice though, a friend and I went to the hospital to visit our other friend who had surgery, and then met up with other friends for coffee and cake! (I think I used the word 'friends' too much in that sentence!) Was great to be laughing and making jokes and feeling ok. Among our friends there's a new couple who got together a few weeks ago... I'm very happy for them, but they made me so jealous, they're so cute! Seems like new couples are just everywhere this week!!!! Ugh...

Tomorrow I've got a busy day, yay! Have to go to physio, and need to have blood work done for tx purposes, after which I'm going to visit the surgery-friend who is back home and doing better! Hope you also have a good Friday!!!

P.s. I almost forgot I actually...wait for it... played PIANO today!!! Proud of myself. Now I just need to keep it up!

wacky wednesday

The title is definitely not a description of my day (so far), but I thought it matched Monday's title and it's the name of my favourite fast food special. You get 2 burgers for the price of one, and they're REALLY yummy. Now I just need Freaky Friday then the week's complete!

The coffee with the friend on Monday was very nice. We had so much to catch up on, and after we left the coffee shop we had even more coffee at my house! She's so in love, I'm so envious! But not in a bad way, just miss that feeling! I've been to my friend in hospital twice since the last time I posted. She needs another operation, I feel so sorry for her! At least I know what's wrong with me and my goal is transplant. Not knowing what exactly's wrong with you and having operations and pain and stuff is luckily not something I'm familliar with!

Yesterday was like a shock 'back to reality' for me in the sense that all of a sudden I'm alone again! Holiday's over and my sister is doing summer school. And normally that suits me just fine when I'm feeling crappy and take hours to nebulise and cough and sleep and cough some more and nebulise some more etc. But now I'm feeling just fine, and find myself kind of bored and alone. Trying as hard as I can to find some stuff to do. Luckily I've got physio in an hour's time and then I might visit the hospital again. I've got a lot of stuff to keep me bust mentally (puzzles, books, internet...piano), but I want to go out when I feel good.

Ooo, I almost forgot... I've started doing some exercise again! Not a lot, but I'm working on it! My legs feel a bit weak when I exercise, but they're just lazy, because I'm not even stiff the next day! So I shall push them harder. I've got an eliptical trainer in my room that I exercise on, together with doing some leg exercises and we've got 2.5kg dumbells that I use for my arms (although my left arm is still stiff from the picc line, so I haven't used them recently). The eliptical trainer is really tough, so I can only go for a minute and then I have to stop to catch my breath. At the moment I do 5 minutes, which takes me about 20 minutes to do. The longest I've ever managed without stopping was 3 minutes (without O2), when my lungs were still a lot better. I then used to do about 10/15 mins in total. I'll try and work up to 10 mins for now. If I can do that as often as possible it would be great.

As you can see, I've added a counter to the site (applause for my technological skills please), to that should be interesting... Have to get dressed and clean my room now... bye

Just another manic monday!

Or not! Seems like everyone is back at work today! Good luck to all my friends starting their first real job!!! I had a productive morning, had physio, went to the bank to do some long-procrastinated stuff, so that's a relief. Then my sister and I went out for lunch. I had a delicious smoked salmon croissant! Now I'm feeling quite stuffed!!

A close friend of mine is in hospital, she had an emergency operation and it looks as if though she might need another operation. So for once I'm not the sickest one! Quiet a weird feeling going to the hospital just to visit her. So nice not being the patient and not getting all the attention. I can get used to it! Just being part of the outside public... Although my portable O2 might've caused some stares..

This morning I didn't wear my O2 to the Bank or lunch, and thus REALLY felt like I could get lost in the crowd! It was a nice break, not having to feel a bit self-concious. I'm meeting an old friend for coffee this afternoon (I know.. all these people from my past keep popping up!), and I'm not going to wear my O2 again. I feel pretty much the same when sitting down, I just get breathless when walking and try to limit my movements. So sitting in the coffee shop with close parking should be a breeze. I don't like wearing O2 in front of friends that I haven't seen in a long time. To them it seems like I went from being 100% healthy to SICK in no time. I used to hide any signs of CF as far as possible, and if something seemed too much for me I just didn't do it. Now I'm wearing O2 and I can see them thinking 'O my word she's going to die!'. It's just tiring to say the least. At least the transplant thing is positive in that aspect as well. It allows them to think 'O my word she MAY die'! Just that bit of hope makes them act more human! I downplay the risks and inflate the success rate and everybody's happy! No more akwardness...

Have to go downstairs now, she's picking me up.. Will update on how it went. And I'm missing my dad! He's gone back to Joburg :-(

Short post

Just a short post...

The visit yesterday afternoon was VERY nice! Was so good to see my teacher again after 5 years! The 3 of us chatted the whole afternoon, had so much to catch up on! We probably could've kept going for longer if I didn't have to go home because my mom, dad, sister and I had a reservation at a restaurant. Like I predicted, she was very emotional and all teary eyed when she saw my O2! Serves her right for all those times she made me cry in my lessons! :-)

The dinner yesterday evening was also great. The restaurant is called Old Austria, and is really smart, with someone playing piano and great food. I decided to have a started instead of dessert (and I figured it's healthier!), and had a Salami salad, followed by fillet steak. It was to die for! And after listening to the piano the whole evening, and spending the afternoon with my piano teacher, I'm inspired to do some playing again. I'm usually too lazy, but screw that, I should play a bit! I've got the time!

I had coffee with another friend this morning. It's so good to drive again! My arm still hurts a bit when I have to change gears because the muscles are weak and stiff! I'm just trying to get out as much as possible, because my good health is not going to last, and friends are starting work soon and going overseas etc, so I won't be seeing too much of them! Haven't felt this good in months. Actually I can't even remember when last I had this little mucus, probably a year ago, also after IV's.

Ok so maybe this isn't a short update.. I read a 'letter' that one of my 'cyberfriends' who had her 1 year transplant anniversary yesterday wrote on her blog to her old lungs. She was thanking them for having been there for her for 22 years and that even though they were naughty, they did their best. It's so true, and I've often thought about it... I've also got a love-hate relationship with mine. I hate it when they don't do what I want them to, but at the same time they fight so hard for me... I would be weird, but wonderful, to be rid of them. They won't be missed. But I will have appreciation for the fact that I owe them my life.

I'm going to end my 'short' post with a photo of my cat. I just took it, because she looks so cute right now. 'Look' being the operative word! She can be a real bitch!

stuff...

Yesterday was great!!! Shopping was so nice!!!! Bought a denim and 2 tops, all of which are really nice!! Also had coffee and chocolate brownie with ice cream at Dulce, YUM... And the best part was being able to walk around without being too short of breath! Didn't really get any stares with the O2, except from this small black boy, who couldn't stop staring... But I didn't mind him, was quite funny actually! I just wish this easy breathing could last...

AND... I also got a laptop yesterday!!!! Have been thinking about getting one for various reasons for a while, and yesterday I bought one! It's so much fun! Had a much more technologically advanced friend over this morning who helped me set up our wireless internet, so now I can do everything in my room, and there's no more fighting over the computer!

This afternoon 2 schoolfriends of mine who I haven't really seen in ages are going to visit our music teacher who we also haven't seen in 5 years. She was my favourite teacher, so I'm really looking forward to it.. just wondering how she'll react to the O2 though... she's kind of emotional!

Have to wash my hair and get ready for that. It's funny how you always want to look your best if you haven't seen somebody in a while, especially your peers. It's stupid really, because they're too busy worrying about how they look to really care. But we do it anyway...

I'm free!!!!!

My pic line is out! And I feel great! And I'm going SHOPPING today! This is as good as it gets!

The pic line came out yesterday evening at 6:30. Was a bit painful, but worth it! It was so funny, when the nurse was busy waxing my arm (ie ripping off bandages), she asked the stupid question 'does it hurt?'... I obviously said 'Yes!', and so she laughed and said 'You should never get a tattoo'...The reason why this is so funny is because I do in fact have a tattoo! And it was honestly a more bearable pain than having your hair slowly pulled out of your arm! My dad and I just kept quiet and smiled... My arm muscles are a bit stiff still and my arm is 'dumb'! It's so weird, it feels like someone else's arm or a fake limb that I'm trying to manouvre! Had 2 of my best friends over afterwards last night to watch a movie on tv and play cards... I lost :-(

Feeling good, which is why I'm going shopping this morning! And all the post xmas sales are on! Yay!!!! Haven't been shopping in AGES!!!! And have a lot of xmas money that all the grandparents gave me! The only scary part will be taking my portable O2 with... I've never shopped with it before. I used to just do the getting-blue-in-the-face thing. But this should work better! I'll do a update later today to let you know how it all went (and what I bought!)

I also want to thank those of you who add comments! I LOVE getting them! It's so nice to know that someone is actually reading this! Untill later...

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!!!!!!! It's here!!!!! 2008!!!!!!!!! Apparently (and I never knew this before yesterday), and i'm not sure if it even means something, the number 8 symbolises new beginnings... Well I'm sure 2008 will hold some new beginnings for me. It better, because I'm SO frustrated. Not feeling too happy today. Spending too much time with my parents in the house and it's driving me mad. 23 year old's shouldn't be so dependant on their parents, it's NOT HEALTHY!!!! And I'm not allowed to complain because they do so much for me, but it just gets too much. especially if you have the same fights as you did 5 years ago, then you wish like hell you could just move out. BUT I'M STUCK.

Luckily my health is still ok. Stupid picc (ok he's not really stupid, I'm just tired of him. He's been great actually, behaving himself nicely) coming out tomorrow!!!! Then I'm taking the car and getting out of the house!!! Really missed driving. Hopefully the mucusfreeness will last for a while..

I went to a cocktail party last night at a friends house, which was really nice, but i wish I could enjoy it more! I wished I could drink more, have more fun, also jump in the pool, move around more without getting out of breath, and also stay the night! But nevertheless, it was beter than being at home! Can't wait so see what I'll be doing next year!!!! 2009 here I come!!!

My biggest wish for 2008 is obviously new lungs, followed by LOVE!! Having had 2 short flings (which lasted only 25 days and 6 weeks) and a 9 month one I'd rather not go into, I feel that the perfect way to celebrate my new lungs will be to find love...mmm... that would be great yes...

Apart from that, I have no new years resolutions, except obviously STAYING ALIVE!! So I wish you all a Happy 2008!!!! May God bless you!!!

The day after boxing day...

Ugggghhhh!!!! I'm trying to load a new photo and it keeps on turning up as a brown square?!?!? I've uploaded it 3 times now and I give up! I HATE it when computers don't work dammit!!!

Anyway... Christmas was very nice, better than I expected. Went to church in the morning with my parents and grandfather to my old church. I don't go there anymore but my parents still do. Haven't been there since Xmas 2005, except for a wedding and a funeral in between. was quite a weird experience with my disabled arm and portable O2, but I'm glad I went. After that a whole bunch of family came over. My sister, 2 cousins and I watched Red Eye on dvd, not really a christmas movie, but ok I suppose. Then came all the eating!!!! Turkey, lamb and gammon with salads. Everything served cold, with Ice cream, fruit salad and strawberry yoghurt pudding for dessert... YUM!!!! Still eating left-overs...

Yesterday and today was just spent lounging around the house, eating, building puzzle and playing cards. Not much happening... So I don't have much to write about... the weather is great, perfect summer day, and I wish I could go for a swim at the beach :-( Better luck next year!!!

10mins later... I managed to upload a different picture in the 'about me' section... it was taken on xmas day!

'Twas the night before Christmas...

Tomorrow is Christmas!!!!!!! Looking forward to it, although I wish I could have the same level of excitement that I did when I was little... I guess it's just part of growing up, but Christmas just seemed that much nicer then! This year it's a bit sad that I can't breathe properly (although a lot better than 2 weeks ago!) and don't have anyone special to share the day with or watch Love Actually with (my favourite xmas movie, but you have to watch it with someone special!), but I do have things to be thankfull for... having the most amazing mom and dad and sister ever (even though they sometimes drive me mad), and some good friends etc. I feel positive that by next year I will have my new lungs and having an awesome christmas!!!! That would be so great...

The last 2 days have been very nice. Just watching movies, eating, hanging out with my family etc. Seems like we're going to have a rainy Christmas tomorrow! I love rainy weather, it's not something we get very often!

Healthwise I'm doing good, almost NO mucus, it's soooooo nice! The thing i hate most about having this picc line in my arm though is not being able to do anything to my hair!!!! My left hand can't reach my head! So I can't wash, brush, or even tie up my hair! And I hate not being in control of how my hair looks! It's frustrating for all of us when my mom or sister try to do my hair, because handling curly hair is hard enough when trying to do so by yourself!!! At least it's washed and as ready for Christmas now as it's ever going to be...

Hope everyone has an awesome amazing Christmas tomorrow filled with love and remember the real reason we celebrate it.. it indirectly marks the beginning of our eternal life!!! So much better than just a lung transplant!!

Thank goodness it's not this time a year ago!

Just a short post...

Last night (or early this morning to be exact) a year ago I was rushed to hospital in an ambulance at about 02:30 AM because I was finding it so hard to breathe. It was the closest I had ever come to dieing, at least that's how it felt anyway! When they loaded me in the ambulance my O2 sats were 36%! The paramedic thought the machine was broken... (if I were able to speak at that moment I would've politely pointed out that the machine was in fact working, and that I could definitely feel the 64% oxygen that was missing from my body!) Luckily in the end I survived after some IV's etc, just lost some serious weight.

So even though I'm on IV's again for xmas, at least I feel a whole lot better! my grandfather just arrived, got to go!!!!

Five days to Christmas!

Ugh!!! I was halfway through typing this post when I lost it! I'm not sure what happened, but it had to do with uploading the photo!

I'm doing well. been on IV's a week now, 2 weeks to go! At least time flies, can't believe it's been a week already! Yesterday was a crap day for me emotionally, due to various reasons, but luckily I'm feeling better today. Got all dressed up and washed my hair (well my mom did actually, it's impossible with just one usefull arm!), as we had to take a photo of me and my sister to be used in some Christmas gifts! (I'm the short one without the tan!!! And before you assume she's older, she's not. I'm 3 years older than her.) We're also going out for coffee later in the afternoon. I'll probably be wearing something with sleeves to hide the picc line, which is not cool, as the weather is hot today!!!! Not much news apart from that. My grandfather's coming tomorrow, looking forward to seeing him. It'll be his first time here without my grandmother, who passed away last year. The other grandparents are also coming down sometime over the weekend. Also looking forward to lots of eating!!!!!!!!!

Just an update...

Yesterday was very nice, saw 4 of my very good friends during the day, which resulted in me being pretty tired last night, but feeling nice and social for a change! Two of them have gone off on holiday now, so had to squeeze them in! So glad I did!

Still feeling a lot better, it's sooo great. Able to sleep well and breathe so much easier, coughing a lot less and easier as well. I've got an appointment with my doctor today, so then i'll know how long I'll be on the IV antibiotics. Don't mind if it's quite a while! I can get used to the not-coughing and easier breathing (obviously me and my new lungs will be a match made in heaven!).

Also seeing another friend today before she flies home, and I'll spend some time with my sister as well. She's been so busy so far this holiday, haven't actually seen much of her! Speaking of holiday... i feel totally out of touch with the Christmas shopping thing. I'm not doing any Christmas shopping and haven't been to the shops in ages (been feeling too crap and shops are VERY busy, I'll do a bit of shopping after the rush), whereas normally this time of year it's always shopping and going to the beach! Obviously haven't been to the beach either, but the weather hasn't been that great anyway. Haven't really considered if I'll go to the beach with my portable oxyginator. Definitelly not in peak time!

Have to go and get dressed now, quite tricky with only one available arm! Until next time.. bye!
