My friends' Husband [and her of course,] moved into a Unit near the hospital yesterday, exactly 1 month after the Transplant. Everyone at the Hospital are very pleased with his progress. I might get home sooner than I thought at this rate. Cheers, Sheba.

I have just been diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica, just waiting for blood tests to come back to confirm, it is a real bugger, when you wake up in the morning you cant move your arms and the pain is bad to say the least. I have to go on a course of steroids for at least two years, although there is no cure t...

Having a laugh is often good medicine. Agree? Bought myself a present for the festive season / New year. I've combined the two because I'm a slow reader so I'll start late December 2011 and finish january 2012, or so I thought. It got me in and I couldn't put it down - no good for those who can't sleep!

Our private coverage with MBF has been taken over by BUPA, which made me call to check out our coverage. The question came up regarding ambulance cover. As we are traveling full time, not in our home state, we really do not have very good coverage. We are limited as to which ambulance company we can cal...

Here in Canberra my partner and I have anything from 1 week to 3 weeks wait for an appointment with our doctors. We'd heard about a doctor shortage in the bush so were very surprised in Katherine NT, when he got an appointment in 2 hours! How long do others have to wait, and where are you?

I had a chest xray on Friday which showed that it is 'only' Asthma and not Pneumonia(thank God), but it's certainly hanging around this time. Maybe because I ignored it for several weeks before getting on t...
