Ho-spit-alllllllllll

I am going to the hospital tomorrow. I know you are all worried. Don’t be worried, I am just having key hole surgery on my shoulder to stop it popping out. And I get to have a sling. This makes me very excited. I don’t know why but slings are ace. A sling says ‘I am action adventure star who has a mishap and now I am injured but as soon as the sling comes off I am back out there doing extreme sports.’ Actually it probably says ‘I am uncoordinated and tripped when I was drunk’ but never mind. A sling! I will post a photo.

And the best bit I get to stay at the Mac Daddy of all hospitals because I am covered by health insurance. Awesome. I have my own room, colour television, yes colour I assume in NHS hospitals the TV’s are in black and white. And you get wine with your meal. It’s like a hotel but better because they give you codeine. What a party I will be having on Thursday night. I have charged the camera battery so I can take pictures.

I have to go now and do all the housework before I am out of action for a week and get this I can’t lift heavy things for 4 weeks and I can’t play touch rugby like ever again. But I don’t think that’s a big loss, the world of touch rugby will not mourn for me.

Not sure if the sling is covered by health insurance. I might have to check the 24hour insurance helpline. Which sometimes and I have to say it is not that helpful.

Also when I told Jamie that I couldn’t wash my hair for a few weeks. He said ‘Yuck, Manky.’ And I said ‘that’s funny because you will be washing my hair for me.’ He didn’t seem to happy about it probably because he knew it would end in a fight.



I want a sling like this one. A 007 sling.
But I will probably get one like this, a nanna sling.

When I was looking for pictures of slings I found this little guy, his smile, the hand on his hip something about it just disturbs me.

Did I also say I will have scars, again for an unknown reason I find this very exciting.

Good luck lovely!!! I am sure Jamie will look after you and be thrilled to wash your hair (otherwise I am sure he will cover wash abd blow dry expenses twice a week at a salon of your choice). xxx
