Good to hear from you Peter👍
Living a life of liquid luxury eh?
(Although my version would include some single malt😉)
Chin up Peter, we are all rooting for you🤞🤞🤞
All the best, Doug😎

Roy, the food here has been freshly cooked and very generous proportions. Shepherds pie, fish etc.
I was on a clear liquid diet for the past week, though today was the first day off it onto a straight liquid diet.

Lunch creamed pumpkin soup, an energy fibre drink similar to chocolate milkshake, banana yoghurt and ice cream. Tea.

Soup was unreal.

The others had fresh veggies and roast.

No complaints

re food in Australian hospitals, Central Coast. As a UK resident I can confirm it is truly awful! Safe things after a 10 day stay were Tomato soup, a sandwiche, most items that are pre packaged. The cooked meals were an insult to the art of cooking. Usual breakfast items OK. Distribution was very casual and rather random. I was given other peoples choices several times.
I stayed in Gosford hospital for most of the time. The staff and doctors were excellent but in general you could be left for hours wndering what is happening. I also had a short stay in Shoalhaven hospital. A really nice friendly hospital.

For UK residents who visit Australia, there is a reciprocal agreement between Medicare and the NHS. The system is quick to use and I had a robot guided operation within the hour almost of the decision to operate.

I had an ambulance drive to my local hospital in Watford and the system worked 10 out of 10 for me. Unexpectadely the food was not bad either! I had an assistant nurse assigned to me and she let me know every hour what was happening.
Having been in an ambulance the ride was rough and the suspension rudimentary on our local roads.

I am off to Oz again in March 2026 so fingers crossed.

Peter,
Trust 2026 will be one of Happy Sailing for you.⛵

Robert Goodwin my email address is dodgessharks@msn.com .

Peter gave me permission to share his email address with people on the website, PM and I will forward you the email address.

Peter has received some messages and really appreciated them. He also says the coffee in the hospital is not fit for human consumption! 🤣

His current diet consists-of :

Wildberry high protein drink
Clear chicken soup
Coffee or tea
That was breakfast, dinner and lunch

Respectfully

Ron
