Surgery is the pits...you're told to take it easy...Nobody gets it, NOTHING's easy! To take it easy you need a flock of servants and you'll be bedridden, life isn't like that!! Here, home help SUX! You pay about $6 an hour, they don't appear any more often then once a week. They were paid to appear after my daughter was born(the hospital staff wouldn't release her to me after what my mum told them). The woman who showed up every week for a month spent most of the time she should've been working on drinking cups of tea and talking while I cleaned. I told the council I wanted a new worker. This new worker 'did' the carpets in the lounge room and both bedrooms, but when I went and looked, nothing had changed. Her second week, she came 45mins late and left 30mins early, but I was required to pay for the full 1 1/2hour. I called the council and asked them to stop sending workers. My grandma had to have a lung operation, they 'required' home help for her. She said she had exactly the same experiences I had. She told my mother, who believed every word she said, but when I'd told my mum 6 months before, she told me I was a whining baby.
I don't get local anaesthesia. I have been given the stuff, but I can feel everything that it's supposed to numb. Knock out anaesthesia isn't fun either. Screwing with my balance is dangerous, even though I'm still not walking far!
