A depressing start to Summer. Apols 4 abrevs. Its that or nothing! (PJ = Project/ion/or)
The St Andrews Man in Moon Show went downdowndown. It threatened to rain all arvo as we set up but we had to go for it as I’d recvd the $ and spent it all/ready! Around 6 it started to rain and never stopped till very late! We had stuff outside under raincovers
but cooden of course run it. Rain covers weren’t enuf! Steve & Richard flew the balloon 3 times. 1st time unlucky. 2nd time tethers broke due to extra weight of rain. 3rd time success but rain spoiled & it looked like gi Teardrop rather than Moon! And Proj onto it imposs due to rain!
My Fr Rob Hall got my 2nd Blue Laser happnin but in end we only took one feelin we wouldn’t get to use any! (right) Steve had serviced my 3 HD Turntables and polished my 5 Mirror Balls. The power supp for my hi powa Scan PJ was under cover I thought but it was only under the verandah! Filling with water! But its prob only $200ish.
Another NEW Pj was in the Van but also got wet! And lotsa stuff got wettish.
Steve lost all his Keys TWICE!
Steve (unfamil with the area) came down from Tilba Tilba to help me with the show and return to TT with a load of my old Slide PJs. He followed me to St A’s in his car coz I coodn q fit it all in my red van. On our return he zoomed ahead (inst of follo) got lost, got a Melways but left road and hit a Tree 2 Ks short of my place! Broke his Leg, totalled the Car (and my 5 Mirra Balls and my DVD Recorder with all my one-off
effects, a sep DVD player, the blue Laser Powa/Supply, a discharge Spot, and the just christened Moon Balloon Bag!) anyway the Police attended the Scene (I didn’t hear till 4 hrs later)
but could not even tell me where the car was! I had to do a Towing Co ringaround!
The Tow ers aren’t overly friendly and will not even allow me to retrieve anything!
since the Car’s uninsured! Havnt seen it yet. Waited an hour in Heid today but they never showed up! (thought just mebe the HDD data could be saved from the DVD Rec tho I doubt it. But I’m told mebe! But I want the Moon Bag & Laser P/S etc & even Mirror Ball debris!
Pain beckons……..
Tues. revisit Accident scene and ppl there have found Laser P/S and a Turntable! Something! Looks as if we WILL be able to retrieve stuff from the Car for what it’s worth! Very little I fear. Mebe the Moon Bag?
On Sat.15th Nov. I was having Tea and a Tooth broke! What was left was razor-sharp and threatened to cut my tongue on every swallow & chew! So no food till Mon when I went looking for a Dent. Coodn find one who’d see me so ended up having to go to Dental Hosp! Worst needle of my life from Coloured Dentist (not that that bothered me tho he was a bit agro) and kept saying ‘Open wider!’ and worst dentistry except for Dental Hosp of 1957 when I was having Panic attacks with mouth full of drills and hands! Anyway, recover slowly over few days tho tongue remains half dead! By Wed 26 e/thing suddenly gets v painful including swallowing, chewing and being in general! Neuralgia in jaw, cheekbone, and headache in top of head, deep. Movement of tongue in mouth, swallowing and opening to admit Tablet all become unbearable! After few days I feel permanently Nauseous. And very scared!
Every so often I bite my cheek which seems to have grown enormously on the inside,
and the Knee-jerk (Cheek-jerk?) reaction is to open the mouth fast, which of course is the most painful thing I can do, producing extreme pain spasms right down one side of my head, not to mention the inner cheek!
My Teeth are coated with thick plaque I cannot address! I begin taking 2 Codrals but try to keep it minimal fearing it might take some time. Google Jaw pain & find some very scary stuff on post Dental maladies! Doc puts me on Anti-biotics. Says ‘5 days!’
Sounds like Eternity! Have to do me BIG Show on 28th! Anyway to cut a long story short, DO the Show with much help, and on the 5th Day I felt I could bear to avoid Pain killers, and on 6th Day there was suddenly a noticeable improvement! I could almost get a Grape in my mouth and could chew!
JOY JOY JOY!!! Yet STILL, my jaw feels as if the Anaesthetic hasn’t quite worn off!
But 95% of the Pain has gone! (Thought it was over but not yet!)
The other thing that saddens me is that Debs Mum, who is a very lively, fit & healthy 90yo, ended her Life 2 days ago! She is still in a Coma, (Tues pm) prob coz the cocktail wasn’t designed for one with such a strong constitution! She’s been talking bout it for a long time (depressed due to all her friends being gone) but I was hoping (and thinking) she wouldn’t do it! I thought we were Dining together tonight! My oldest & newest friend! (She passes away Wednesday.) hadn’t spoken to her for a week and was looking forward to the Chinese meal she & Deb owed me. (now that I can almost EAT again).
Life aint fair!
Thurs. Deb is seeking a baby Elephant and Cart to carry Sylvias painted Coffin!
Get equipment remains from Car. One Mirror Ball hardly damaged! Well still usable!
See Pic of Steve (broken Leg) & Car! Chiz hu
