The Mater is fantastic too - you are in excellent hands. Sorry, I just assumed you were at the RBWH. I was private too but in the RBWH - it was nice having my own space - you need it when you are there for an extended time! I am not sure if there is a Ronald Macdonald House on the Southside of Brissy. I would think there would be???
I didn't have a lap top when I was in hospy - I am glad you have it will keep you in touch with everyone and will let you know how supported you are by everyone here and "out there"!

Take good care, if I can do anything please let me know.
