snowy it was laser ablation op. i had to be knocked out for around 20mins or so and only had to hang around for another 1 hour afterwards. i had quite a few period like cramps and a little bleeding but otherwise not to bad except i got a bit of an infection in the muscle from where they put the needle it. so my arm was pretty sore for a week or so and got a bit swollen but these things happen.

oh yeah the aussie weather is a little weird heh?

sound like you are settling back in to aussie life ok. how long are you staying?
