Yesterday I went to see my local GP who I haven't seen since before I went into hospital. He had some of the reports from the surgeon and the oncologist. I asked him if I could have a copy of them to take home and then told Patrick to read them for me - in case there was anything in there I didn't want to know about.
We found out that during my surgery the surgeon also removed one of my ribs. Well that would account for a lot of pain that I am feeling but I wish he told me about it. Seems like something you would think he might mention in passing.
Tomorrow our new bed comes that we ordered from 40 Winks in March. They said it would take 6 weeks to arrive. When I found out I had to go into hospital they brought around a bed frame that we could use until our new bed arrived. That was great because we just had a mattress on the floor before that.
I sold my other bed in December. It was a waterbed that I had swapped with my brother Jack for the other bed I had at the time because I loved his waterbed and Naomi, Jack's partner who he was moving in with didn't. When I sold the waterbed it was because my doctor at the time believed all the pain I was having was due to back pain. On top of getting rid of the waterbed I also was having physiotherapy on my back for the pain - all the time never realising what was actually wrong with me.
Anyway I am very excited about getting my new bed tomorrow.
The photo is one of me that Patrick took today. I fell asleep reading my Macbook and was asleep when he was about to take it but being a light sleeper I woke up just as he took it. Choochie is having a nap too.

Hi Anita,
I think you are the 1st person that I actually know who has a blog.
Most of the other bloggers I follow are people who work for companies that are trying to sell me something - like Microsoft.
Anyway, I hope the treatment is going well.
So are you at home at the moment, i.e. out of hospital?
Take care,
Tino (NZ)
Hi Anita
Sounds like you are doing well. Yes, I think that taking a rib out is the kind of thing a doctor would normally tell his patient!
I remember how excited I was when I got our new bed too!
Glad that you are doing this bog thing. I think it is a very positive thing to do.
Regards
Danny Hyams
Hi Naida,
I like this and you write well too, so this will be great. I am going to forward the link to Shai-El as she was interested in your well-being.
Would you like me to send you any readying material from the Weizmann Institute (popular science things?).
I hope to visit Kadarim in another few weeks - haven't been there in ages. My car probably wouldn't make it up there so I will take a train to Acco and have Ruth pick me up there....
Things with my are good (lost 10 kgs with the help of a lot of exercise and much less eating).
Hope things are going okay with you - will say a little prayer for you in our bet knesset on Friday (I have already said many not in the bet knesset!).
Keep writing!
Love,
Batya
Hi Anita
I wanted to wish you all the best for the challenges that lie ahead. You are missed here at work.
We all look forward to seeing you back soon

Thanks guys for dropping by. Nice to hear from you.
Tino: Yes, I've been back home already for a couple weeks now.
Danny: Yes I think it was quite an oversight not telling me about the rib. I have had a few oversights over the last few weeks but that one takes the cake.
Batya: Are you working at Weizmann Institute? I'm always interested in reading about new advances in technology. If you have stuff like that it would be great.
Migs: Thanks. I miss everyone too. I'm hoping to pop in next week to say hello to you all.
Hi Anita,
I don't know if Paul old you that I'm coming down to Melbourne on the same flight in July. In fact, managed to get a seat next to him on the flight. I'm looking forward to catching up with you then. Great idea having this blog site...
See you toward the end of July
Love
Igor
