You have had a really busy time whilst...Hi Dainere<br /><br />You have had a really busy time whilst on holidays from school. It's a great idea to keep up with as much work as possible to prepare for your exams. If only students your age without your troubles could realise that by doing this, they would achieve their outcomes!! My son in Year 9 has ben working on a Commerce assignment regarding the business his group established in late Term 3. It was an ice cream stall at school, the only one on market day to sell ice cream & he competed with other stalls selling cakes, BBQ lunch, drinks, etc so I believe they did rather well.<br /><br />I went to Canberra last weekend, (Grandfinal day)& it was fantastic. I kept seeing the signs to your suburb. I was telling my sister & niece all the time that this is where you live. I did not want to impose on you & your family but one day I would love to meet you in person. The weather was magic, the shopping centre was great fun & Floriade was splendiferous. It was so crowded but the colours, designs, the scent, the displays & markets stalls were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My cousin kives in Curtin so he met us at the end of the day with his 3 children & took us on a brief tour in his mini bus around the sights of the city. Canberra is so clean & flat & well organised. Next time, we plan to spend more than 24 hours there & take our families as there appeared to be plenty to do & see.<br /><br />I understand about pain but not your pain levels. Last year when I was out of action with my 3 ruptured discs (still have pain but no where near as bad), it was so debilitating & I seriously doubted if I would ever experience a day without pain again. I was on so much medication to get through the day,running the house & family, & off work for a very long time, I had to really develop new mind set to manage. Surgery was no option so I had to rehabilitate with the help of ny physio & Pilates coach. I am so grateful to them & still do fortnightly sessions & daily exercises to maintain strength. I'm not on any medication except for the odd Nurofen if I have overdone things. Reading your blog the whole time also was part of my new mindset, you still are!! Keep being you Dainere, there is truly no one like you.<br /><br />Can't wait to read about your new speedy chair. I am impressed that you will take on Jarrett, go Girl!! <br /><br />Back to work tomorrow, term 4 always flies by, Take care, <br />Love always, Fran xoxox<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465911028473949181.post-83690646703268939902012-10-08T08:49:40.605+11:002012-10-08T08:49:40.605+11:00Hi Daniere,

Never mind, it gives me a chance to catch up on inside things that I never feel like doing when it's lovely outside!!<br />I hope you are able to catch up on a little more rest. Rest is an important part of pain relief too - it gives our mind and body a chance to restore.<br />You made me laugh thinking about you racing Jarrett on the AIS track in a super fast wheelchair - I really hope this can happen for you.<br />I'm heading down to the south coast for a few days with one of daughters, my sister and her daughter and looking forward to spending time doing relaxing girlie things. Ollie the cat of course has to stay at home ( he HATES the car) - he'll have to get his smooches from my husband who pretends he doesn't really like him but I often see them snuggled up together on the lounge - haha.<br />I found a quote the other day that so reminded me of you...<br />" I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do.". Helen Keller<br /><br />With love,<br />Catherine and Ollie the cat xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465911028473949181.post-89664954750016627872012-10-07T20:01:18.676+11:002012-10-07T20:01:18.676+11:00Dear Dainere, oh yes isnt it fantastic to have a l...Dear Dainere, oh yes isnt it fantastic to have a little taste of summer , but alas we have gone back to to a taste of late winter here in Padstow , we had a very very rain storm last night and wow the noise was tremendous , even without my Baha i could hear it quite clearly.<br /><br />WE look forward to hearing more about the Brain storm that Sarah is organising , i know we talked about it last week when we caught up with you .

I'm sure I heard on radio that pain can be seen affecting the brain in scans. Perhaps more research will one day unlock the key. Though some pain is needed - like if water is too hot for example, the pain warns you. Chronic pain is not good. My mother has a patch which lasts three days and releases pain relief gradually.<br /><br />Tom has some great ideas. <br /><br />Good to read that you've been cycling.<br /><br />I'd never heard of Amity Affliction. They have been around since 2003.<br /><br />Great quote from the calendar.<br /><br />Kindest regards,<br /><br />MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
