Well, had the arthroscopy today! I am sure we are all in the wrong business, we should become surgeons and anaethetists. Saw the surgeon for a total of 5 minutes, and the anaethetist for a total of maybe 8 minutes. My "quote" for out of pocket expenses is around $2,000, oh and also my specialist has an "assistant" as well, who claims a fifth of the fee as an EXTRA! I was only under for around 40 minutes, so on an hourly rate that's a nice little money earner. We should give up building houses and go back to school, then we won't have to worry about those EXTRAS anymore! Seriously though, I did get actual colour photos of the inside of the kneee and the torn cartillage, which he has fixed, he said he doesn't know why I left it as long to get fixed. He said I am to take things easy for the next few weeks -
HA for those who know me well, they will know that won't be easy to do, as I have only 2 speeds - fast and very fast, but I will do my absolute best to be a good girl and rest the knee as much as I can, so David will now have to take over from Manflu sufferer to carer, at least for the next couple of days, and I have at least a week off work, so probably by next Monday, I will be roaming the internet looking for ways to pass the time - maybe more Quizzes Reinsey?
In all honesty didn't realise it was
that bad, and besides my lovely tennis team finished top of the ladder and the finals start this Thursday, and I didn't want to let the team down mid-season by having it done then. Fear not, my team, I will be there on Thursday armed with Pillow ready to cheer you, and watch you clean up the opposition which will put us into the Grand Final in 2 weeks, which will by then mean I can be the purveyor of fine champagne to toast our win - and yes we will win, no negative thoughts allowed!!!
Also have finally got my computer back with new hard drive, so have the onerous task of restoring all my files and photos and music back where it belongs. And I will from now on back up
all my email and sort out all those photos properly, and copy them onto disc as well.
Have you all backed up your computers, I ask?

Janine, my knee aches in sympathy. At least having to rest you should have the best organized computer around. Surely your not playing the tennis final? You sound like my husband he converts everything into 'hourly rates' - yes, stick to school kids coz there's a profession never to run out of work. Take it easy.
Oh gorgeous Janine - I can't believe I missed sending you a happy surgery message!!!
I hope the surgeon is worth the money and has fixed you properly so you can be out harassing builders and returning serve to within a bees dick of the baseline very very soon!!!
I'll try to rustle up a killer quiz for you (if only work wasn't out of control!!!).
xxxxx get better. We've got lots of estate laps to do together with our mouth full of marbles friend (yes thats you Deb!) :)
Thats awesome Janine.
It wont be long until you will be running with me around the estate.
It definately is a money earner, but theres no way i would want to do 5 years of uni and have all that HECS debt, but i guess the good thing is it wouldn't take long to pay back when they are on that sort of coin.
