On Friday Christina’s sister Jess went into Hospital to get surgery on her back. She’s had a pinched nerve jammed between her spinal discs which over the past year or so has caused her much pain and forced her to develop very nasty posture.
The operation seems to have gone really well. She was in good spirits straight out of the operating room and for the next few days too (I suspect the drugs they’ve pumped her up on has something to do with her constant giggling).
The weekend was spent visiting and hanging out at the Hospital with Jess (as well as getting her home on Sunday), buying Christmas pressies for the family (amazingly we nailed a pressie for everyone we wanted to buy gifts for!) as well as a bit of furniture for the house:
Suga and I also crammed a movie in there, we watched 2012 at the Entertainment Quarter. What a shit film.
Always have wanted to sit down and try the garlic prawns at the Entertainment Quarter’s food markets. Finally have. Not the best I’ve had but they weren’t terrible.
The bridge coming back home from the Mater Hospital, never ever get bored of it.
Christina has been working hard on making a family book of old photos (such awesome old photos too), we’ll be using Blurb to print and publish it, should come up a treat and it’ll be a great gift for her side of the family.
