Beach Shots

At the beach while on holidays. Some beautiful views

 

Home Again

Its amazing, no matter how much I enjoy being on holiday, I really appreciate coming home.

We had such a great time. Even though we all got sick again throughout the week we still had fun.

Everyday and evening we swam in the heated pool (oh such bliss) while during the day we packed in as much as possible visiting everything and everywhere lol

Nights were late meals, as we usually weren't back at our unit until dark, late swims and then a game or movie before bed.

Its so exhausting to have fun!

Photos to come =)

Beautiful

Perfect end to a great day.

We!re here

We got in the car this am to head off on our holiday and zip, nada, nothing.

So $500 a new starter motor, battery and nearly 3 hrs later we were on our way.

Now we've settled in and are heading out for dinner then a late swim in heated pool.

Back at it

Wow! Its been so long.
I'm 1/2 way through making a shawl.
Will hopefully be more regular with my blog again :-D
You wouldn't know it but there are over 100 stitches on that needle lol


Bonnie, this is the shawl we got the pattern and stuff for last winter hahaha

The Beach

Here i sit watching all my boys swim.

Its a beatiful morning.

Looking forward to the rest of the day.

This is the first post via my cell.

Its Wednesday already :O

It can't be!

I'm sure I only posted yesterday lol

Yesterday was my birthday.

My mum and I went to the movies and saw "It's Complicated".

Really enjoyable and funny!

Then we went out for lunch which was very nice.

Good quality time together without the kids.

My niece came over for dinner and birthday cake.

I made some yummy cumbed chicken :D

Photos will come (I hope).

Haircuts

They all got clippered this morning :D

All is good!

Its Saturday.
It's been raining.
We so badly need the rain.
Everything is so dry.
The grass is already looking green once again.

On Thursday I had another stroke specialist appointment.
He is really really happy with how I am.
He agrees that the left overs from the stroke are hardly noticeable to him let alone anyone who didn't know I had one.
He has concurred with the Autonomic Neuropathy diagnosis by his registrar. It was not a factor in the cause of the stroke but because of the stroke is why I've been able to have an early diagnosis.
I have to have another couple of tests and if everything looks ok still in 3 mths he is going to hand me over to the Endocrine department.
Woohoo!!!!
They will concentrate on the diabetes and blood pressure mainly but it shows how confident he is with my recovery.

I have to seriously think about lap band surgery.
The specs have suggested that I am a good candidate for this even if I may not be "big"enough due to health concerns.
In the last 6 yrs, with food changes and exercise the most I have lost is only 5 kgs.
I'm told not to be depressed about this (yeah, right) as its not what I'm doing or not doing but how my body is working.
In reality, its not.
I keep being told by all the drs that I am definitely their challenge hahahahaha
Anyway, I'll go to an appnt and talk about it with Gary.
Seriously consider it and if all risks are minimal then maybe that's what I'll do.

Started me on a new medication (again) so hoping there are no serious side effects with this one like last time :(

Ciao for now!
