Oh no, @Anastasia 💔
I will send wishes that you are able to forget about work if possible this week, or if not possible, then for it to recede into the background and let you focus on you this week a bit more (I know you're also looking after your Mum and your boy)...
(And yes, the fairies are working overtime, thank you ❤️ )
I hope you can do whatever you need for yourself this week. If it's to not face anything at all, then to be able to do that. Sending lots of 💚

Hello dear @pancakes

Hey @pancakes 😄
Yes, went into Sydney hospital on Tuesday last week. Had my surgery early last Wednesday. All went pretty well. Was sent back to my local hospital via air ambulance after 4 nights in Sydney. And I am in this hospital now for 10 days rehab. Expecting to be discharged next Tuesday. So its a long process.
How are you going?
