Meet Christine, my new roomie. Aka Jeanne Little. Quite fabulous, even with her neck and full back brace. Poor Daaarling!
I first met Chris in the Alfred hospital and knew immediately what a character she was!
I like Chris, she is tall, very skinny with fabulous cheek bones. She had a fabulous shop in trendy South Yarra and a 40 year marriage to Gary that is still going strong.
Chris talks non stop in her sleep. I have never heard anything like it. Even with my foam earplugs I hear the odd, "Jackie Daaarling, how are you?" and "too true Pru, too true!"
Chris "loves a champagne Daarl!" and a ciggie it would seem, as she zips to and fro every 10 mins.
She's not too popular with the Nursing staff. For someone with a fractured neck and her back broken in 3 places, she doesn't like to wear her brace and it seems only on certain nights she will remember to use her Walker....
The last couple of nights I have heard the occasional cork go pop from behind her curtain and tonight I watched her husband hand her a bottle of white.
I now notice that Chris only remembers to use her Walker, after she has filled a plastic cup with wine/champagne, hidden it inside the shopping pouch and decides to go out for a ciggie!
Genius!
