Busy, busy, busy...

Well it's been an interesting few weeks...

Over the last 6 or so weekends we have been flat out. We have had Peter (my old Drivers Assistant from Invicta Mill) and his family come to stay, the Townsville Airshow (which the US Thunderbirds performed at), James come to stay, The Townsville Kite Festival, The Townsville Grrek Fest, The QR Family Fun Day and finally, Dad's birthday at Wilson Beach... Phew...

Interspersed between these have been numerous specialists and GP's visits to get paperwork and checkups performed as well as bloods, etc...

Dang, it's been busy... Never mind, helps to keep ones mind off things...


One thing I have noticed over the last two weeks or so is the increasing weakness and instability in my legs... I am using my cane for the first time since 2007 (as little as possible) and I seem to need to hold on to things more often... Never mind...

I have now started on Cyclosporin again and will be going back for Infliximab infusions every month. I'm not really looking forward to this as Infliximab is quite a "hot" drug and I tend to have reactions while having the treatment, but if it's going to slow down the progression, then I guess anything will do...

We're still waiting on work to release me; at this point I'm still off on sick leave.

I have handed in the report from my doctors authorizing a disabled parking permit and also for the Disability Pension, but we are waiting on the outcome. Apparently the pension can take a few months, so we won't be holding our breaths for that one...

Well, another busy week ahead with James coming down again tomorrow... He is spending most of his major free time here now, entertaining myself and the girls... It's nice to have my best friend since school take such an interest in spending time...

Well, I'd best go now as the Laptop is about to die...

Cheers and best wishes,
Jason...
