Well hubby managed to get a cancellation with a lady doctor I have had before I I let it all out with her!

I hope the message got back as she knows something like this happened before before the stroke and I went to another doctor for some months, but she talked me into going back to them, so I repeated that.

I have had enough stress for the time being.

Thank you all for you rcomments.

Thank you so much Leonie for your story it is delightful.

Thank you for sharing it with us;  I love the photo of you and your aunt you both look so happy together.

I had my mothers older sister who was a bit like that we looked a bit alike too.

Your writing was a very good exercise for me tonight also.

Thanks ladies for your reply.

Today my husband managed to get an appointment to a doctor I had been trying to see for weeks, she is always busy, she must have had a cancellation.  Anyway I turned up and had to wait after two women had their 10 minutes each with her.   That was fine I often wait like that, I am sure I have made others wait when I have ended up being longer than I expected because the doctor was answering other peoples phone calls while I sat and waiting in his office.

However, I chatted about some major issues like very low blood pressure I had been experiencing the last three days and I didn’t take the blood pressure tablets, and a few other bits.   

Then I mentioned this issue I had last Tuesday, as it happened I suddenly did something I hardly ever do, thats bursting into tears.  I think everything had become on top of me of late.

Especially I have had trouble with one of the cats who wants to be the Queen and is spoiling things around here, so after a lot of thinking she is going to go back to the Cat Rescue.   I think although it is hard for me, her sister will be happy without her bossy sister.

So the stress levels around here have been off the planet of late.  I am not looking forward to tomorrow morning.  But in the long run I think she will be happier with being the only cat in someones house.

Your first stop when lockdown is over: This ‘enchanting’ forest is filled with rare butterflies and a ‘fairytale’ boardwalk perfect for photos

Australians living on the road to escape gruelling Covid lockdowns are stopping at an ‘enchanting’ forest described as a ‘scene from a fairytale’. Hidden beside a sleepy town on Queensland’s coast, the forest (pictured) is the region’s number one attraction, captivating visitors with its towering myrtle trees and spectacular cabbage palm plants. A boardwalk made from raised timber beams and felled tree trunks carves a path through the undergrowth, creating the perfect backdrop for stunning photos.

I would like to ask a question to anyone interested.

 

How long is enough time for a patient to wait having had an appointment?

 

Twenty Minutes

Thirty minutes

Forty Five minutes

Fifty minutes

Sixty minutes

I waited for not quite sixty minutes on Tuesday and gave up and walked out the surgery.

Thanks Toot, at the moment we are having phone issues!

We have been warned that tv and phones may not be working due to maintenance it is driving me up the wall as my son has been trying to contact us.

[Celia]

 

Only later this afternoon they announced that and I received an email, but I can only phone up after 6.30am on 20th Sept to make a time to go in and have it!  So how much longer I know when it can happen I do not know.

 

[Celia]

 

Yes, now I wonder if they will follow through!

Have been over to the surgery and so has my doctor, the surgery that gives the Jabs that is.

I will mention this again this morning when I see another doctor.

However that is for South Australia so far not WA yet.

WA has not been given a lot of the vaccine these last few months it has been send to the other states RnR.

Thank you for taking an interest RnR.

This morning I have received some cartoon types of comments from a friend in the UK; also some work from my speech pathologist. 

Here is one from my friend in the UK.

Well that was a waste of time they don’t copy and paste I wonder why?

Being stressed linked with a greater risk of high blood pressure and heart issues, study finds

Researchers from Japan’s Kyoto University followed 400 Americans for more than a decade and monitored the levels of stress hormones in their urine.

Thank you ladies!

Had a visit this afternoon from my step daughter and her son, gosh don’t 5 year olds grow quickly!  Saw him a month ago and he looks if he has grown a couple of inches. She is an Occupational Therapist and due to short staff she has to drive to a town near Bunbury tomorrow!  That is about a three hour drive to get there and back again.

I was clearing out my garden and she wanted all my old hanging baskets that I won’t be using anymore and some plants in them.   Her little Honda boot was full to the brim!

I am sharing a photo of my late mother and myself, I was 5!

My homework this week has been reading and writing text and editing my teachers letter to me full of mistakes!  LOL I wonder what she will make of that edit!  LOL

Wish I could share it with you!  LOL  But I had better not.

It is amazing how the brain is mixed up with letters, one of the words was ‘brain’ and I could not make it out so I showed my husband!  LOL   I could only see 6rain,  and I could not make out why they had put a six in front of the word rain!

Funnily enough they had written in the letter a segment on rain!   I had to read it an answer the questions about when the weather would change!!

Getting back to reading after a stoke has been a learning experience for sure;  yesterday one of the professionals that is helping me explained that you do not have to be an adult to have a stroke!

I was shocked, this person has students that are under twelve years of age that have had strokes and are learning to read again, how heart breaking for a parent to see this it brings tears to my eyes.

I keep thinking back to the nursing sister that came to collect my blood at home the other day and was surprised at my capabilities of walking and talking;  it just goes to show how ignorant some professionals are too.

Everyone is unique, we all have these and have to cope with them the best we can.

My writing this morning has not been checked so bear with me if I have made an error!

My homework for writing yesterday is to edit a few paragraphs!  LOL

I glanced through the work and had a giggle;  you see my brain wants to mix up various characters of letters in a writing, sometimes it is happening on the keyboard but I hope to improve as I plod along!

Have a lovely day!

It is pouring with rain here in Perth today after some delightful days of sunshine, the long term weather forecast tells us that Perth is going to have a cool summer, that suits me fine!

                                      

[Celia]

Hope all is well?

Have not been on the PC for two days now!

Perth has had some lovely weather and I have been out in the garden.

Regarding the Jab;  I have had correspondence today informing me that for me to have the Pfizer I need to have an auto immune issue before I can have the Pfizer!

Wow!

It is a big worry, I have only had an auto immune issue for 32 years!

[Celia]

This applies to my husband!  LOL because I don’t drink Coffee!
