What happened to your D3/D4 today?

Had a lovely flight this morning

Still haven’t had the hand operated on.

Sitting in QEH and looks like it won’t happen until tomorrow.

Good thing is I haven’t needed Morphine since 11am.

Wheeling it out the house on sack truck and the door unlatched, swung open, crushing my finger and severing just up from first knuckle.

Wrapped in tea towel and drove to hospital with Mrs Tombie.

Sitting here waiting for RFDS to land some time soon, then off to Adelaide for surgery.

Sorry to hear Tombie, hope you make a speedy recovery.

Who knows?, might be as mild as ads from companies trying to sell you padded gun safes, through to medical id theft where someone could overwrite your history to load up on prescription drugs, all the way through to ( if you have enemies ) something that finishes you off while you are compromised in hospital.
I know the last might sound far fetched and maybe I listen to my spook mate too much, but unfortunately I suspect his world is as real as ours

Right now I’d just like my thumb fixed.
48 hours since it happened and nothings been done.
Still in the emergency dressing applied at Whyalla.

Apparently people keep hurting themselves worse than me an I keep getting shuffled down the order.

Unfortunately a common problem everywhere. If you were in WA you'd still be sitting out the back in an Ambulance.

Yep and apparently junkies that OD take precedent over a 4yo that has sliced her hand open.

In D4 related news.

The new Aeroflow transmission cooler and mounts have apparently arrived. [emoji41]

Oh yes, and before my little mishap I finished welding the bottom plate on and refitted one of my sliders.

And because my ability to shop online isn’t injured I’ve ordered one of these units to do the other slider and a few other jobs when I’m able

Had the low coolant warning pop up on the way home with about 100kms to go and the van on.

Stopped, checked the level and could still see coolant in the bottle above the cold fill levels, put 100ml of distilled water in when we got home and alarm went off.

Also tightened the Anderson plug lead as with the van on had pushed slack into the lead close to the exhaust on the right side from the Traxide install. Put some corrugated tubing around the lead where it had a melt mark.

Welcome to the Australian Public Health system, apparently it is appalling in every state. Hope you get sorted soon.

That's why I just had my middle finger stump stitched up after a similar injury to Tombies, but thumbs are more important to get fixed as best as can be done. I hope your wait is over soon Tombie.
