The G+ 2
year anniversary walk went well in spite of the weather. We had fewer people
than would have been there if it had been a sunny day, however we had more
people than we expected for such gloomy damp weather! Thank you to all of you
who came! Who knew it could take 6 hours to walk 3 kms.
I have persevered with the knitting and managed to produce 2 beanies so far!
Jolly good thing too because I hit my first goal and had my head shaved on
Saturday! If things don't work out the first time you try them, stick at it, you'll get there :)
Today was my
first day back at school. It was fantastic! General Maths is not quite as
exciting as pure maths but I like it all the same and I have a pretty nifty
teacher so, win/win.
A few days
ago there was a report on A Current Affair about Charlie Teo and his crusade to
cure brain cancer/tumours. This is one from May which contains some very
important information which I keep trying to explain to people. Benign brain
tumours are not “safe” they can cause significant health problems, damage to
the brain and in some cases death. Obviously brain cancer is nastier, benign
tumours should not be dismissed though.
The drive to
raise funds for Cure for life continues as ever and things are starting to pick
up. If you would like to help to find a cure for brain tumours/cancer please
consider donating to one (or more) of our international team. Linky
To follow up
from the last post –I went to
the Doctor who told me the optometrist was not overreacting. I went back to the
optometrist who then tried to make an appointment with the preferred neuro ophthalmologist
who can’t get me in to the end of October, so am booked in to see second choice
ophthalmologist at the end of this month. Meanwhile blurry/double vision
continues. To a certain extent my brain is trying to compensate but tends to
conk out around midday or early afternoon and has a hurt.
I am really
quite enjoying this new experience of having a shaved head. I don’t feel like I
have lost my identity and I am finding it pretty fantastic to be completely
honest.
I
hope you are all well, happy and pursuing your dreams.
