oooh look, an update
So what has been going on lately...?
Well I have been home for the last 2 weeks on sick leave. Why so? Well I blacked out at work in front of one of the duty officers as I was securing the bar. Transfield now will not let me go back to work until I get a Dr's Clearance to work unsupervised (I work alone in the bar)
Trouble is, the blackouts are not such a simple thing to deal with...
For the past few years, I have been quietly enduring occasional spells of regular dizzy spells and blackouts. For a while it was thought I had low blood pressure or blood sugar. Another Dr insisted that I have an irregular heart-beat (I do but it has nothing to do with the blackouts). Instead, after a CT scan last week, I have found out I have a lump in the centre of my brain that swells occasionally, stemming blood flow from the main artery into my brain.
Now I have to wait for Fremantle hospital to finally book me in for an MRI so I can find out what the lump is.
Worst thing is, I only have a finite amount of sick leave, AND the Dr has barred me from driving.
.................................
In other news, we are planning on leaving Rockingham finally. I have been offered a new job starting in September. The work is more bar-work, but at the Dongara Hotel. an extra $6 an hour, better work conditions and possibility of promotion later to bar manager. Of course the mega-bonus is, we get the kids out of Rockingham, before they get much older and feral.
