1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nations.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: Nice to be back at work. It's nice to see

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: your little smiling face. Albeit I'm seeing you via Skype.

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: You're at your home studio.

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: And everywhere say home studio. It's kind of just a desk, really.

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: Looks good light, set a man in the background.

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: There, that's right. This is where Liam studied HC all

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: those years ago, and it's sort of just you know,

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: I've moved, and this is where Harley has his VR setup,

10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: so he said, with his car games, He's had to

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: move that aside so I can do the radio show.

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: That i'll I noticed you was rumping a bit.

13
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm plugging and stuff.

14
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: I'm going to go.

15
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: They know I'm halfway through Lamont. But this time last

16
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: week I was having a very different experience. I had

17
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: a hip replacement last Monday, and it's gone so well.

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: It really has. And I had one eleven years ago,

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: and the difference in the technology to me is astonishing.

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: I'm up and around easily. I'm not in pain. My

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: leg's a bit achy, but I'm not actually in pain,

22
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: and I know it's sorting some painkillersn't there. But these

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: days also they use robotics so that there's less wear

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: and tear on the muscle, less pulling of the muscle.

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: So the recovery is quite extraordinary. And it's still the

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: same thing though that the surgeon, and my surgeon was

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: just wonderful. He comes up and he says, I'm just

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: going to draw on your leg, and so there's a

29
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: texture with an arrow as to which leg you're having done.

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: It comes down to the absolute basics. And every time

31
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: someone comes in to give you drugs or whatever it is,

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: you have to say your name, your date of birth,

33
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: check a number on your wrist. It's all cross checked.

34
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: But it still comes down to a texture on your leg.

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: This one amazing, isn't it. So the first night didn't

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: get a wink of sleep because you're lying in the

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: hospital bed. You've got oxygen up your nose, and you

38
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: know those things they put on your arm for blood pressure.

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: I had one of those like shin pads on yeah,

40
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: but I had one on each calf like shin pads,

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: like soccer shin pads that would just gosh, take turns

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: to I guess it's for blood clots and things. So

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: instead of having a stocking on my leg, this was

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: moving the blood through, so they inflated at various times

45
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: throughout the night, And because there's morphine and stuff involved,

46
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: they come in every hour to make sure you're okay.

47
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: How good's morphine? By the way, I can see why

48
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: people get into it.

49
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: Well, No, it just made me very, very nauseous. But

50
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: at least because I was in the hospital, they were

51
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: able to give me stuff, put something in my drip

52
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: or I had a little tableg put under my tongue

53
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: so that I didn't get nauseous with the pills. So

54
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: that stuff was terrific. You know what I did love

55
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: and I don't even want to it sounds terrible saying

56
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: it out loud. I loved having a catheter in it

57
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: because I drank about ten bottles of water every day

58
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: and didn't have to hurl myself out of the bed

59
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: using that the brace above the bed crutches on and

60
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: go to the loop. But I didn't have to go

61
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: to the toilet.

62
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: Does it feel like I've won with a catheter? Does

63
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: it feel like you need to do a week so

64
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: you don't get that sensation.

65
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: You never get that sensation, So you just drink and

66
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: drink and drink cups of tea, bottels of water whatever

67
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: it is, prune juice at one point because we needed

68
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: to get things moving and I will for number two.

69
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: Now I had to go to the tour. It's not

70
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: like that, as I discovered. No, no, I'm joking, but

71
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: the capita is just for number one.

72
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that's good information now.

73
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: But there was one point where I thought, oh, I

74
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: feel like I need to go to the loop. I thought,

75
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: hang on, I've want a catheter, and the nurse said,

76
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: I'll just check it for you. Because sometimes if there's

77
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: a slight kink in it, or there's an air bubble

78
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: or something, it can touch on the nerves that make

79
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: you think you need to go to the loop. But

80
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: other than that, I'd like to get that for long cust.

81
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: Yes, or midnight final show. Because I was right up

82
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: the front of the stage. I don't want to lose

83
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: my spot. I don't want to do a Molly meldrum.

84
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: You know.

85
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: It's interesting too for the first Earth see you for

86
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: the first miss you miss Molly. No I know, or

87
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: I read it all the first I thought, this is

88
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: the slowest moving day of all time. Every time I

89
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: look up it's two thirty and I realized the next

90
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: hours looking the temperature on the air conditioning and someone

91
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: I was at St. Vincent's private hospital, which was just magnificent.

92
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: The staff were wonderful, the.

93
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: Food was good.

94
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: It was just great. And someone from pastoral care came

95
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: around and she said, are you okay? Do you need

96
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: anything for me to sit with you? And I said, look, really,

97
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm fine. And she said, it's so interesting that women

98
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: say I'm fine, I'm enjoying the quiet time. Whereas men,

99
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: she said, often they're from places out of Sydney and

100
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: they're on their own. They're out of their comfort zone,

101
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: and they often want someone to come and sit and

102
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: talk to them because they lost, they don't know what

103
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: to do, Whereas women take advantage of the peace and

104
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: quiet and say, no, please leave me alone. I'm enjoying

105
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: this part.

106
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: That could be a side hustle. You just get ladies

107
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: to go for a little procedure.

108
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I thought that because often that's the only

109
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: time we give ourselves a break, is when we're in hospital.

110
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: And I thought, maybe we should pretend we're having procedures. Yep,

111
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: just say women's business. Go to a lovely hotel, get

112
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,119
Speaker 1: a fake receipt that says you've been in hospital, enjoy

113
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: the sandwiches, enjoy a glass of wine, and then go

114
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: home again the next day.

115
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: And maybe that catheter thing, we should work.

116
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: On that as well. Let's work on the catheter social.

117
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: Catheter social.

118
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: It's a new society. We'll sign Molly meldrem up.

119
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: And thank you to everyone who has been so kind

120
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: and asking how I'm getting on and sharing their stories

121
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: as well. All is well, and I'm doing very well,

122
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: and thank you
