Our New Life
I thought I’m with stupid was a song not a crime
I’m puzzled. Now, I’ll admit making me puzzled is not that difficult these days. The kids do it to me regularly. My doctors manage it every now and then. Politicians puzzle me every waking hour. Even so, I did think “I’m with stupid” was a song, not a crime. Mr Newman or Mr Campbell or […]
Hydrotherapy as exercise and rehabilitation
We learn something new everyday. This afternoon I had my first ever hydrotherapy session. I was horrified I was even going to hydrotherapy. From swimming two and a half kilometres to hydrotherapy? Noooooooooooo. It wasn’t as “easy” as I had imagined. The age range was from (I am guessing with the youngest) seventeen to eighty-four. […]
You’ve been targeted: supporting the AMA and RACGP supporting us
Should I just put a down payment on my coffin now, Scott? The identity of my Goliath has changed. Right at this moment “Love versus Goliath” can be translated to love for my own health and Goliath, yet again, is the government. Different political persuasion, this government, but essentially the same beast. This isn’t just about […]
Juggling drugs, rest, exercise – but never the ironing
Right. That’s it. I’m over this situation. Miracle cure, now. please. I so, so, so feel for those whose health is way worse than mine, because this is bad enough. This week has been my second week on the medication that is hoped to pull my over-active, uninvited, toxic thyroid nodules into line and by yesterday I […]
Today’s Neros fiddle while our planet burns
Climate change. What causes it? Is it happening? Do we need to “do” anything? Carbon taxes, prices, emissions…. the questions are endless. The climate on this planet has changed in the past. There was an ice-age, you will recall. Not many humans around then, so we know some climate change is natural. Then there are the […]
On being irresistible
Originally posted on No Place For Sheep:
Perhaps I’m contrary and ungrateful but I never felt good about being told by a lover “You are irresistible.” I’d much rather he or she said something like “I can’t resist you” and in that utterance, joyfully assumed the burden of supernatural compulsion instead of burdening me with…
Forever Young in 2015
http://twitter.com/TeamOyeniyi/status/550096645757468672 I’m one of the younger baby boomers. This morning as I listened to yet ANOTHER doctor tell me something (frayed, inflamed tendons in this case) was COMMON at my age, I had an epiphany.
This site’s 2014 in review according to the stats monkeys
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 130,000 times in 2014. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 6 days for that many people to see […]
Christmas postponed due to drugs
This is for the much appreciated supportive readers who are following my health challenges. Even though we are postponing Christmas, we wish everyone a wonderful and safe festive season with friends and family. We’ve postponed Christmas because I’m just not up to it. I’m also not Radioactive Robyn, as it turns out. Over the last […]
Parental Controls and the Internet
When I was a child my parents never had to worry about me getting into trouble on the internet. We didn’t have a TV until I was about ten, let alone computers or mobile phones. This is what I did for entertainment: Now the internet is a parenting challenge. Everything connects: laptops, iPads, phones to […]
