There are no new hydrotherapy achievements as last week's session was cancelled.
I have been disciplined enough to do this blog before embarking on Book 14 of "The Wheel of Time" series, which Robert Jordan started writing in 1984. He died in 2007 but left instructions that enabled another author to complete the work - thank goodness! At 918 pages it should keep me occupied for quite a while :-)
I have an appointment scheduled to try the Easy Stand Glider on Thursday morning. Hopefully, my tax refund will be in my bank account by then :-)
I have another appointment at the Hospital with local Spinal Specialist Dr Tracey Simmons to discuss some changes to my drugs, HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen treatment), Botox (to try to help straighten my fingers on my left hand) and something that I can't remember in this point time: mental note: "Must make lists".
Hypermed.com.au (site recommended to me by Walter Starck) has piqued my interest into HBOT. Unfortunately, I have also found websites detailing a fraud case against the owner and practitioner. I have not had any strong feedback from previous clients as yet. My investigations will continue........
Darrel's Mum, Stepdad, Aunts and Uncles paid me a visit for afternoon tea which was enjoyed by all. Col (Stepdad) remarked that Darrel had made the best cup of coffee in Townsville, which is high praise for Darrel and for my brother-in-law Ron Buschgens' coffee roasting skills. Fortunately the roasting machine is working again, so Ron kindly gave me some beans to give to them for the long journey home. They left this morning and hopefully are taking it easy and driving safely.
We caught up with our friend Gavin of matesrateswines.com.au for Friday night only, but he will be back next Sunday for another visit. He has left Tasmania to enjoy two weeks of sunshine in North Queensland before winter sets in properly. He sent a case of wine ahead of him and hopefully will have some left next Sunday ;-)
We had a great ladies' long lunch at Larissa's on Lockheed on Saturday. We did not resolve Helen's wedding dress dilemmas. Larissa made Long Island iced teas as a welcoming cocktail. I had three which may explain my need for a little snooze in the sun after our magnificent lunch. It was a great day.
We had a lovely Mother's Day lunch at GYO on Sunday, followed by two games of scrabble. After Val whipped my butt in the first one, I felt the need for some revenge, and got it!
I had a lovely catch-up with Mark Bogiatzis today - thanks for the coffees, Mark, and thanks to your Mum for a wonderful jar of home made Greek shortbread.
I spent the rest of the afternoon refreshing myself on the Wheel of Time Series, through Wikipedia; thank God for Wikipedia as it is difficult to remember the plotlines from the previous 13 books and prequel which total around 11,000 pages!
I love fantasy series but they are terrible for my scrabble as I keep thinking the made up worlds and words are real. I shall probably play a lot of phonies tomorrow night at Scrabble Club.
There are some photos up on Facebook illustrating my incremental gains in yoga. I can now get my fingers past my feet in a forward bend!
I hope you all are well, and thank you again for taking the time to keep up with my progress via this blog (and a special thank you to Val for typing the last three). Val accepts any error as her own in typing this. Julie disagrees with Val on this.
That's enough - we deserve a glass of red wine now - BYE.
