Surgery on arm number one tomorrow. I think they put me on the complicated cases brains trust list. Or they felt bad for leaving me in A & E for 40 hours.

Aaargh! It’s the creature from the black lagoon 🧌 There’s a joke in here somewhere but I’m struggling to find it funny. I now have two badly broken wrists and I can’t walk. 😭😭😭

Surgery tomorrow morning. Hopefully they can reconstruct and realign my very wonky hand and wrist. Wish me luck. 🍀 🇳🇿

Today’s grotesquerie - surprisingly, my fingers still move.

Yay! There’s been a cancellation and my surgery has been brought forward to next Wednesday. I’m partly very happy and partly terrified. They are going to fuse my wrist to my hand for a few months so I can’t bend it. Then another operation to take that metal out. 😱

#TheRestisPolitics with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart semi-seriously interviewing Count Binface is definitely worth checking out. Of course he can quote Homer’s Odyssey in Greek like all British public schoolboys dabbling in politics. He’s a more erudite & socialist version of Boris Johnson.

😭😭😭 it’s getting worse every day. More swelling, more pain. Four and a half weeks until surgery. 🇳🇿 #kikorangi

I saw the CT scan of my hand. It looks like a steamroller has run over the metatarsal bones. Fingers are all good. Radius and ulna have the ends snapped off and the palm of my hand bones are a crunched up mess and have kind off slid up my arm behind the radius and ulna. None of it makes sense. 😭😭😭

Well, this didn’t turn out very well, to put it mildly. Failed bone graft. Back to surgery in a few weeks. Hurts like hell. 🇳🇿😱

Just starting to wake up after nodding off to sleep all day. Pain last night was extreme so I barely slept. Feeling better now though, although I can’t do much with only one arm.

Surgery has now been confirmed for next Wednesday. They’ll reopen the scars on either side of my wrist and take out the damaged metal plates. Hopefully it can heal properly then. I feel like I’ve had an operation in every hospital in Auckland over the past four years. #kikorangi

A beautiful day out. Awhitu Peninsula, Kariotahi Beach, Manukau Heads lighthouse. Incredible views in all directions - across to the city, the Waitākere Ranges, Tasman Sea and the mighty Manukau Bar. #kikorangi.

Trump’ White House posting about July 4th backed by Gary Glitter is perfection. You couldn’t make it up. Especially in the face of his Supreme Court loss re: the E Jean Carroll rape case.

Mr Chippy just left to go sunrise surfing at Tawharanui. Lucky bugger. I used to adore being in the ocean. At least I get to stay in bed with a cup of tea. Might even go back to sleep. Ata marie, e hoa ma.☀️🇳🇿

For those who follow - the first episode of The Vampire Lestat was a beautiful, chaotic fever dream. I’ve been waiting two years for it and it’s absolutely fucking fabulous. Sam Reid is a god. It’s his era now.

After 68 years of having dead straight hair, it has suddenly decided to do this. Quite spontaneous and quite spectacular curls. I love them. No maintenance required. #kikorangi

After 10 weeks on Wegovy I am 6.5 kg lighter. Apparently this translates into 26 kg less loading on my knee, which has to be good. My knee doesn’t seem to have got the memo yet, but I’ll persevere. This medication really needs to be funded. #GLP1 #semaglutide #kikorangi

Sad to see this sign finally get pulled down. It has an email address on it, so can’t be that old. It was a bit of character in the street though. Eden Terrace, Tamaki Makaurau #kikorangi

“Better targeted” is a euphemism for not having enough secure, affordable housing. More neo-liberal “beyond dependency” bollocks from the Nats. #nzpol #AONZpol 🇳🇿

Where exactly are trans folk supposed to use a public toilet? Does this mean that bearded, muscular trans men are supposed to go to “biological women’s “ toilets, while feminine trans women take their chances in “men’s “ toilets? I really don’t think these fuckwits have thought this through. 🏳️‍⚧️🇳🇿

Feeling for my ex public service colleagues in affected agencies today. Being summarily dismissed after devoting your career to public service is a special kind of disrespect. They couldn’t even be bothered to say thankyou to us. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt. Arohanui. ♥️ #kikorangi #nzpol

Sean Sweeney. What an asshole. Take some responsibility, man. You were the CEO of CRL for six years - own it. And by the way, we love the beauty of it, in spite of your buck passing. #crl

I’ve been on Wegovy for 6 weeks. Some minor side effects, but the impact on my inflammatory pain has been huge. Pain in my injured knee and injured wrist has gone down from a 6-7 to a 1-3. My knee brace keeps sliding off because the joint has lost its chronic swelling. This stuff is life changing. 🇳🇿

Finally holiday time tomorrow. Fly to Dunedin at 7am, pick up rental car and meander down to the Catlins. Four days in a wild looking spot facing Antarctica. Should be awesome. Then, Rakiura, Te Anau, Q’town, Dunedin. Home in May. Photos to come. 😊🌱🇳🇿🪶🦉

New pic of moko at her school prize giving. The necklaces are made of shells collected from Tongareva, the most northern of the Cook’s. Her great grandfather was born there, the son of a Scottish trader and a local woman. He came to NZ when he was orphaned, aged 8, and grew up to be a great poet.

How cool is this. My hometown on the Yorkshire coast was the first ever beach in the UK to be surfed. By Hawaiian royalty, no less. 🏄‍♂️ #Bridlington
