I have not posted in a while as I have just been so busy. It's been mostly medical stuff for Steve.

We did manage to do some shopping and picked up some great bargains now that we are heading towards spring. This winter feels like it has been going on forever.

One nice thing, we have a white faced grey heron nesting near our unit. We are close to ( Read more... )

This week was mostly made up of medical appointments for me this time and not Steve. I have to have a biopsy, it looks like I might have another skin cancer, so I am having it removed. I guess I am paying for all the time I spent in the sun as a kid.

The weather has finally turned cold and wet, real Autumn weather now. Steve is enjoying it, he ( Read more... )

It has been pretty busy, Steve's mobility has gotten worse so he has now been approved for a motorised wheelchair. He has a new occupation therapist and she is great. She is right on top of all the paperwork and everything. She is an older lady and really knows what she is doing. She came out to our home to meet Steve along with his support ( Read more... )

It's nice to finally be able to have a bit of a break. Steve and I have been out every day of the week and to be honest, I am exhausted. I have not been sick. just lacking energy. I think I need a checkup just to see what is going on.

Steve needs to get his blood sugar checked as it has been a little high lately so we will probably get that done ( Read more... )

Steve does not have many appointments this week so we have been able to have a couple of days at home if this keeps up I might even be able to catch up on my reading. We decided to go into the city, we skipped Vivid this year as so many of the formally free attractions now cost to go and see. But we have been doing other things, like taking the ( Read more... )

It has been pretty good, Steve has been up and down with the dystonia, I think the cold is making it worse. Winter has really hit, it's been freezing, but the weather has been clear so that makes it bearable.

My daughter's father-in-law passed away a couple of days ago. He was taken to the hospital but his medical condition rapidly deteriorated and ( Read more... )

Steve and I are staying at home for the next week as we have booked a cruise and we have to test negative for The-Virus-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named or we can't board and we lose the money that we have paid. It's nice not running around to medical appointments but being able to chill at home for a change.

We took a drive through the National park, I ( Read more... )

It was mostly filled with Steve's appointments and therapies. His speech therapy is now once a month as his therapist doesn't think there are any more strategies she can come up with. Now it's more just maintaining and checking on his condition. I am starting to get a little worried about the volunteer work that we have both been doing. Steve and I ( Read more... )

Steve had more doctor's appointments and therapies. His Occupational Therapist came out to do a home visit so of course we bought biscuits and cake slices for her to enjoy. She was at our unit for about three hours and had one cup of plain Rooibos red bush tea with vanilla. It turns out that she gave dairy up for Lent and couldn't have anything ( Read more... )

But I finally got to see The Batman which was awesome. Steve decided not to come and see it with me as three hours was a bit too much, although it didn't feel like it when I watched it. I also had the cinema to myself which I love. Cronulla cinemas don't seem to get as busy as Miranda which I like.

Between Steve's medical appointments and ( Read more... )
