Can just see the Domain from Maggies room and there was plenty of traffic heading to Christmas at the Park, should have a good view of the fireworks display if there is one. As I write it's just started raining, bummer.
Maggie had her drain removed today, which I guess is one step in the right direction. She also sat up for a bit which was also encouraging. However the morphine side effects are kicking in, apparently it affects your breathing, so that was reduced and will be removed tomorrow. So she'll be more alert and hopefully not in too much pain.
The screaming kids and grandma with a hearing loss (and thus must yell to be heard) put in another appearance. Honestly do these people have brain cells.
Adele and Sarah C came for a quick visit bearing gifts, not sure if Maggie was providing useful conversation.
Some good news... Got home and found that not only had the garden fairies cut the grass while I was out but there was a letter from Southern Cross which I opened with some trepidation. Low and behold they are now offering to pay up to $50,000! Felt a bit like winning lotto. I'm sure it will be a big relief for Maggie.
Don't say you can't guilt out the insurance companies.

Pre-op 2000
This is before I had any surgery on my back. It's looking at it front on. You can see the base of the spine is where it connects to my pelvis, and then how the top is out of line with the bottom, This made it look like I had one big hip, because my ribcage was off to one side.
Pre-op 2007
Here is how my spine looks now, you can see that the part that has the rods is straight, then at the top the unfused part goes off at a different angle. The surgery tomorrow is to fix that, by putting a rod from about 2 vertebrae up and 3 or 4 below the junction.
