Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @SmallBlueMouse I've not met you before.

That's an excellent username (& Avatar picture) - I like it!

Helllooo @Adge

Speaking of mice ... have you had any further rodent problems?

 

 

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Possibly @Former-Member I have been hearing those noises in the walls (on occasion).

I've been ignoring it so far, because I know it means more work (if it is rodents).

I would have to get up into the roof (through the Manhole/personhole), to find out for sure.

One thing I do know is that the Termites (White Ants) have been very active.

I found out 1 week ago - that they had eaten an entire wooden Pallet (in the shed).

The pallet is a base, storage platform with boxes & shelves on it.

If they chew the wooden frame of the house, that would be disastrous.

I haven't had a house termite inspection (or treatment) for about 8 years.

I got a quote 18 months ago, they quoted $1000 - I couldn't afford that, so I didn't go ahead with it.

Yikes @Adge , some resident echidnas might be needed.

 

Could the family help you with termite treatment?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

A resident Echidna would be great @Former-Member That might even solve the problem.

My relatives (not exactly family) have wiped their hands of the situation.

It was lovely to have 2 brothers (& sister-in-law) stay, & yes was motivating - last brother left 1 week ago.

Yet it has been a considerable effort to replenish food supplies, clean & pack things away - since they left.

The cupboard was somewhat bare of food (eaten), & the house very dirty...

I shall have to get a termite inspection myself, at some stage - when I've recovered.

Echidnas it is then for now @Adge. I do hope you hear soon re: hernia etc. can understand why you would not be wanting to head up into the ceiling.

Woo it's a spiky (echidna-shaped) Watermelon @Former-Member

I gave up on waiting for a Hernia op via the public system.

It was going to be another 12 to 18 months wait (from now) - when it's urgent & very serious, according to GP (last September).

The surgery has now been booked, for 6th March (1 week before my 50th Birthday) - a 4 day hospital stay.

At someone's suggestion (I never knew about this option) -

- I went to see the Surgeon privately (1 week ago), with a new Referral from the GP.

- it was the same surgeon who did my 2nd emergency bowel surgery, in November 2014.

- He had me on his records (possibly remembered me).

- He confirmed that Hernia surgery is urgent, because it's major.

- the surgery requires the insertion of a mesh to prevent the hernia recurring (again).

- it's a minimum 4 day stay in hospital, because the procedure is complicated (he said) - not a nice simple day stay.

- My surgery has been booked in for March 6th, 1 week before my 50th Birthday.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That is good news @Adge, assuming he has he got you booked in at the public hospital for the surgery.  Hopefully you will be well enough post surgery for that gourmet cheese platter. Dare I ask about your shoulder?
