Fay Berry - My Story

20190529 – Wednesday – Alison Everyone needs a friend like Alison! Alison came to my place today at around lunch time, bringing her granddaughter Eva with her, and also our lunch, a lovely salad and soup. She was here to help me sort myself out after being away from home and having my knee-replacement and […]

20190528 –  Tuesday – A new life

20190304 – Thursday – Too good to be true. Well I was ok right up until about Midnight last night, and then the woman in the next room began to cry and she was having a real bad time of it. And I found myself in REAL pain! And then I couldn’t get my brain […]

20190403 – Wednesday – Operation Over This morning Helen arrived at 5.30 in Jesia’s car. I was all ready and the only thing I found I had forgotten was ear phones. Never mind. Helen dropped me off at the front door of Flinders with my small bag and my new walking frame. Helen went and […]

20190328 – Thursday- Joan Beard’s funeral Today was a beautiful day, sun shining, a light breeze blowing, and I had a most wonderful day. This was a very surprising thing, considering it was the funeral of a lovely lady, and a very dear friend. It was the day that Sister Joan Beard was laid to […]

20190327 – Wednesday – Preparing for op Today I decided it was time to read all the multitude of documents I have received from the Hospital about my operation. So I prepared a list of things to do and to bring. I found there was one item I did not have, a pair of slippers […]

20190326 – Tuesday – House Cleaned I think I have mentioned that I cancelled Netflix, firstly because of how hard it is to find a “decent” movie to watch. The language in so many modern movies is so bad, and I was finding that swear words were popping into my head all the time and […]
