Ouch.

I’ve been off work for the last week, as a medical problem that’s been under control for years, suddenly flared up. I had a heavy fall in the house, landed on my shoulder, which now has a huge bruise. I also have bruises just below my knee and over my eye. Apart from all of them, moving my arm has been nearly impossible and I’ve had headaches from the wrenching I gave my neck.
Then to finish things off, I seem to have a stomach virus, which meant I couldn’t and didn’t want to eat. Or maybe it was a result of the shock to my system from the fall. We don’t have carpeting so landing on laminated flooring was hard to say the least, and my poor body is feeling it. I have another week off work so hopefully I will slowly get better.
It means my trip to Melbourne has been cancelled too and I was so looking forward to catching up with friends and family.
I have some follow-up appointments with my doctor and some specialists, so can’t see me being able to visit Melbourne any time soon.
My husband has been taking good care of me, doing the cooking, cleaning, washing, etc.
Melissa starts her pre-university course tomorrow and was so excited when I spoke to her last night. She will be in the mid-year intake if she passes ok, which I’m sure she should. She is finding it hard though to adapt to the weather in Fremantle. I wouldn’t have thought it was any different from Sydney but she says she is tired since moving there, so I guess she will get used to it.
Luka is in Poland with his parents. His mum and dad will be delighted to have him home, also his grandmother. I don’t know when they last saw him but he has been in Australia for 4 years. While he’s home he will be attending a family christening and wedding and catching up with his old band mates to record some tracks.
Evan’s comedy night went better than expected. So much so that he’s doing another on Tuesday. Just a pity that we won’t be able to get down there to see it.
OK only a short entry. I still get tired quite easy.
