As we’re playing catch-up, not a whole lot happened in 2020, but I thought I’d recap a few things that did happen throughout the year!
At the time, I was 28 years old and working at my first aged care job in a residential facility (KG) in Bundaberg. I’d just hit my two-year mark there, having started back in 2018, and was still doing the night shift lifestyle.
July – A little medical mishap!
In July, I had a cyst removed that had grown on the outside of my stomach. It was the tiniest thing, but I absolutely hated the way it looked, so I decided to have it removed.
Little did I know what a saga that would turn into!
Initially, I had stitches for a couple of weeks. Once they were removed, I was left with Steri-Strips covering the wound/scar. All seemed well until I noticed the wound had started opening up, and the Steri-Strips were practically pointing inwards. I’m thinking… that’s definitely not supposed to happen!
So, off to the doctor I went. More stitches!
And just when I thought that was the end of it, it was time to have those stitches removed. BAM! INFECTION!
The wound had swollen up terribly, and I’m pretty sure I even fainted. Ended up needing an ambulance.
So much for a nice, neat little scar! Instead, I’m left with a rather unpleasant reminder of the whole experience. 😂
I’m going to spare you all the photos of that one. I don’t want to scare you off, especially when I’m trying to bring you all back! LOL.
September – Movie night!
In September, I headed to Big Screen Cinemas in Hervey Bay to watch After We Collided in their deluxe cinemas.
Nice, comfy chairs! Can’t complain about that.
I’m a HUGE fan of the book series, so naturally I had to go and see the movie.
I actually have more books from the series, but I just can’t seem to find them. Typical!
November – Gold Coast getaway!
In November, I went on a little mini holiday with the family to the Gold Coast. We stayed at BIG4 Holiday Park and also made a trip to Dreamworld.
A nice little getaway and a chance to get out of Bundaberg for a bit!
And that’s a wrap on 2020!
As I said, it wasn’t exactly the busiest year, but there were still a few memories worth looking back on.
Between work, a rather dramatic trip to the doctor and a couple of little outings, that pretty much sums up my 2020!
Now, let’s move on to 2021 and see what else I’ve been up to. 😉
