Off to hospital

Email | Print

As some know I’ve been having more or less severe health issues for the last 7 months. Well, early this morning I’ve signed in to local central hospital for a planned (surgical) operation, studies and treatment that will hopefully alleviate my condition.

I think the Australian stamps below make a good visualization about the meaning of personal health/lifestyle. They’re asking “Do you treat your body like a temple or more like an amusement park?”…LOL… Sadly I’m still one stamp short for complete set…

1990 Australia - Community Health. Michel #1193-4,1196. Cat. value 0.50€ ea.

Anway, if all goes well I’ll be hopefully back home (and online) sometime next week. Keep your fingers crossed!

PS. There will be a bunch of scheduled daily posts even when I’m gone.  Hope You do enjoy them.

PS.2. As for numbers… I don’t know what numerology says, but to me 09.09.09 (and of course 09 hours) sounds “nice” time to begin the operation. At least it’s much better than the dreaded Friday 13th.

   Thanks Jayne,

   I’m getting better by the day, but posting will be light for some time. There will be 2-3 new posts each week, but not the “usual” daily posting.

   Anyway, it’s very nice to hear you like the blog.
   best,
