Hospital Visit
I had my wee little visit at the hospital this week. To make sure I’m not dying or any other such nonsense. Doctor seemed pleased except for one niggling bit — I have a fungal infection of the incision. Joy! … Continue reading
My Hole
Kim told me last night that CCAC (Community Care Access Centre) – which is responsible for assigning a nurse to do my dressing – had cut me off as of June 1st. Thankfully Kim fought for me and service is … Continue reading
