Hey again everyone
Went to the hospital today for my last appointment before i headed off to Melbourne for the surgery. As we walked in they were on the phone the the Melbourne womens and childrens hospital who told them not to send us over because there were not enough beds to accomidate and now it's in a months time. Not much of a warning!!!!!
Anyway so parents had contracts for their jobs, that has to be rearranged. Mine and sisters school have to be told. All family that were flying there to see me and have booked flights have to be told. And worst of all i switched of the power off school work about two weeks ago because i thought i was going away. Now i got a HEAP of work that i havn't done that teachers will want me to do this week aswell which is crap.
So it's kinda screwed us around a lot and i really just wanted to get it done becasue it's making me hell tired 
lol. When they told my mum and i, i was so angry it's not funny. And worst of all they have beds over there that are empty becasue they cant get enough funding to use them.
Anyway so i'll be around for another month now but don't think i will get to sail, i'll do my best to get one in though.
Cheers
Bubs
Write a letter to Kevin Rudd. I just read he was boasting about what the ALP has done in its first 100 days of office. Your predicament makes Australia look like a third world country. Is that what the KRudd wants?
Send the same letter to you the Adelaide Advertiser. There are two questions you could ask. First, why is it necessary for you to have the operation in Melbourne. Second why does the Victorian ALP government believe its more important to spend money on car races than hospital beds?
At the same time, what is the SA government spending its money on? Obviously they don't spend enough on cardiology.
As long as it gets done and you can get back to sailing 
One month isnt a long time in the overall scheme of things. I am sure you will be back tearing up the water in no time 
Big time bummer
This is one time when it's not cool to be "sick", you know what the youngens say these days it's "That's really medically Ill dude", or something like that.... I'm so confused
Cheer up Bubs ,after talking to you at the KA series I'm impressed by your determination to get out and enjoy life.
Some things can be changed in life and other things can't ,but one thing that does change is the Federal government from time to time and unfortunately it does'nt seem to matter who is in ,when they get in they love to get the razor out and people suffer from their lack of insight and lies. Lets hope they get their act together on health care so more can enjoy their lives more fully like you do.
Sucks i am sure. However as said before a month is not long in the scheme of things.
Plus might not be a Gov't thing might just be a lack of available cardiac specialists.
