Well if you've been keeping up with me, I got the call from the hospital this morning (Friday) to see if I was feeling ok.

I explained that I was fine, but made him (AJ the registrar) aware that what I'm currently feeling is pretty much my normal condition, and that I do have some inflamation in my nostrials (normal for me), and that I do generally have a permenant head cold. AJ acknowledged that the records point to the nasal issues. He asked whether I had an wheezing from my asthma - NO! I asked him if he was looking for a reason to cancell my surgery, he said no, he wants me to have the surgery so that I can smile. OK, so he remembers me then, because he mentioned that I needed to smile the only time we met on the 10th July. Anyway, I said to him, if all is not well surely you'll pick up on that when I'm admitted.

Hey, it's worth a go. So to all you great people that have been following my epic journey thus far....hold tight. To you guys who have been my inspiration, support and sponge of knowledge, I thank you. All that's left is for me to pray that the father holds me close and keeps me safe on this next leg of the journey.

Thanks Misty,

I've got the email address of a couple people. I intend to bring my mobile phone with me (blackberry) so I'll email a couple people in the hope someone will pick and report back. email addresses welcomed via PM.

At this time, I keep thinking someone or something is going to throw a spanner in the works any time soon. It would just be my luck.

I'd say send it to me, but I'll be out of town the first few days of the week, and am not certain of my internet connection. Hopefully you'll get through to someone

Good luck!! We know how well prepared you are so you'll do GREAT!
