I finally got to see the doctor. I told him about the pain that I'd been having in my back/ribs. He reckons that I cracked the rib and that it will take another 4 weeks to heal. It's been more tender tonight than it has been for a little while. He said that there would be adhesions causing problems and some bleeding. Maybe that's why I'm a bit more tender tonight. Maybe there's still some ...
A week from now, we will be in Easter weekend. What does that mean to you? Do you have any special traditions? Are you one that eats fish and seafood during the time of Lent? That's something that I haven't been able to do for a number of years as I have developed an allergy to fish and seafood. Is there something else that you've given up? It's a time to reflect on the sacrifice that ...
Hey everybody. Just dropping in to say hi. Not much going on with me. Still taking things relatively easy as my rib is taking its time to heal. Getting some reading done, when I'm not sleeping really strange hours. I'm so looking forward to my body clock going back to normal. Pain's keeping me awake some too. I know my right shoulder has a bursar in it, and I think the left has got ...
Well, it's the early hours of Tuesday morning here, and later on this morning, I meet the physiologist. I'm really nervous. I don't really know what to expect, and I'm hoping that whatever happens that it's not going to end up being painful. Less than 9 hours to go.
Well, it's been a week since I saw the physiologist, and I haven't given an update on how things have gone. She tested to see where the level of pain is, and how far I can push beyond the pain barriers. Found out about my medical conditions, and there are many of them. She said that most of the areas where I experience pain are trigger points for fibromyalgia, but I guess I'll have to wait and...
Well, it's the early hours of Tuesday morning here. I have my first exercise session with the rehabilitation physiologist later on this morning. I'm nervous as she told me that I'm going to be sore for the first few weeks. I'm sore enough now without all the exercises on top of it. I guess that it's something that's got to be done though. Sunday would have been my mother's 74th birthday ...
Well, I survived my first exercise session with the rehabilitation physiologist. She had me doing stretches, weights, the pilates machine and exercise bike. I go back again on Thursday. Next time I'll be using a hip machine, going on a treadmill and doing some other exercises. I'm feeling pretty sore. I still can't believe that I was doing weights. As I said, I thought that I'd be too weak ...
Thursday night/Friday morning was a bit hectic for our houshold. John sneezed and had a really bad blood nose. So bad that the paramedics were called. They worked on him for an hour and the bleeding still did not stop. He was taken to hospital where the doctors worked on him for several hours before they finally got his nose to stop bleeding. They don't know what started it, but as it ...
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there, and the spiritual mothers. Thankyou for all the sacrifices you make for your children, the ways that you build into them, love them, pray over them and give them a soft place to fall.
Well, it's been 10 years now that I've been living with John and Joan. Ten years ago, on the 15th of May, I got a phone call from my brother in New Zealand to tell me that my mother was in hospital, not expected to make it through the night. I tried everything I could to be able to get there. I didn't have the finances as I wasn't working at the time. I was willing to borrow the finances to ...
Thinking about what I wrote about John and Joan, there are some things that I forgot to add. When I heard about my mother dying, I had originally only gone to stay with them for a few days. It seems God had other plans. After about four days, John and Joan asked me to move in with them. At the time, I was a little stunned as that was the last thing I expected to happen. Obviously my ...
Anybody who knows me well, knows that I find anniversaries important. Today is an anniversary for me. Being the 15th of December, it was 20 years ago today that I moved from New Zealand to Perth, Western Australia. So many things have changed since I moved. There's been a lot of health related things that have happened. Hit me right between the eyes really. Other things have happened too, though. Positive things. I became a Christian when...
