APRIL ACTIVITY!

I have decided again that it's time to dust off the cobwebs and become more sociable after giving up on ever finding "Ms Right For Me" (not their fault - I'm too hard to please, but I have been spoiled in the past).   Anyway, I'm booked in to attend the TV recording of "Good News Week" at Melbourne Town Hall on April 14th (staying overnight in the big smoke), then - one week later - I travel to Euroa to join in the Golden Wedding celebrations of my old mate Harry Wilkinson and his wife Glenda.   On both of these occasions I will be partnered by my support worker and friend, Roberta Exell.  

At April's end (29th) I will celebrate another milestone with a barbecue at the home of my daughter and son-in-law, Leanne and Craig with a trip to Geelong one week later to give an author talk and book signing at the Geelong Library... that's four week-ends in a row of social activity!

This all means a shuffling of my dialysis treatments, but the staff at the Bendigo dialysis unit have been very helpful in this area and have encouraged me all the way to be as active as I possibly can.   I am even considering a trip interstate or overseas (New Zealand?) later in the year if dialysis treatments can be slotted into my itinerary three times a week... and I can find a travel partner - any takers?

In anticipation of all this merry-making, I plan to spend a very quiet Easter at home with my computer and support workers to keep me company.   My daughter and grandsons presented me with a box of Cadbury chocolates today, so they will also feature on my list of priorities!

One little health hiccup recently is a constant stabbing of a nerve in the left cheek (of my face) which affects every time I eat, particularly when chewing.   Originally diagnosed and treated with anti-biotics for sinusitis, I am seeking a second opinion from my G.P. next week.   Being unable to enjoy my meals is certainly not my idea of having fun.

You can expect to hear from me again early in May with a report on all the above events... including whether a travel partner has appeared on the scene!
