Surgery on arm number one tomorrow. I think they put me on the complicated cases brains trust list. Or they felt bad for leaving me in A & E for 40 hours.

Aaargh! It’s the creature from the black lagoon 🧌
There’s a joke in here somewhere but I’m struggling to find it funny. I now have two badly broken wrists and I can’t walk. 😭😭😭

Yay! There’s been a cancellation and my surgery has been brought forward to next Wednesday. I’m partly very happy and partly terrified. They are going to fuse my wrist to my hand for a few months so I can’t bend it. Then another operation to take that metal out. 😱

#TheRestisPolitics with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart semi-seriously interviewing Count Binface is definitely worth checking out.
Of course he can quote Homer’s Odyssey in Greek like all British public schoolboys dabbling in politics. He’s a more erudite & socialist version of Boris Johnson.

😭😭😭 it’s getting worse every day. More swelling, more pain. Four and a half weeks until surgery. 🇳🇿 #kikorangi

I saw the CT scan of my hand. It looks like a steamroller has run over the metatarsal bones. Fingers are all good. Radius and ulna have the ends snapped off and the palm of my hand bones are a crunched up mess and have kind off slid up my arm behind the radius and ulna. None of it makes sense. 😭😭😭

Well, this didn’t turn out very well, to put it mildly. Failed bone graft. Back to surgery in a few weeks. Hurts like hell. 🇳🇿😱

Just starting to wake up after nodding off to sleep all day. Pain last night was extreme so I barely slept. Feeling better now though, although I can’t do much with only one arm.

Surgery has now been confirmed for next Wednesday. They’ll reopen the scars on either side of my wrist and take out the damaged metal plates. Hopefully it can heal properly then. I feel like I’ve had an operation in every hospital in Auckland over the past four years. #kikorangi

Fast forward to a tarp covering the stage probably.
The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

A beautiful day out. Awhitu Peninsula, Kariotahi Beach, Manukau Heads lighthouse.
Incredible views in all directions - across to the city, the Waitākere Ranges, Tasman Sea and the mighty Manukau Bar. #kikorangi.

Trump’ White House posting about July 4th backed by Gary Glitter is perfection. You couldn’t make it up. Especially in the face of his Supreme Court loss re: the E Jean Carroll rape case.

Mr Chippy just left to go sunrise surfing at Tawharanui. Lucky bugger. I used to adore being in the ocean. At least I get to stay in bed with a cup of tea. Might even go back to sleep.

After 68 years of having dead straight hair, it has suddenly decided to do this. Quite spontaneous and quite spectacular curls. I love them. No maintenance required. #kikorangi
