Schrodinger’s Cancer 2 – After the Specialist

I realised that I hadn’t posted an update on my ongoing health stresses and the like since I saw the specialist last week. So here you go in case you had been wondering. My appointment was at Redcliffe Hospital at the specialist outpatient clinic which to me sounds really imposing to begin with. I arrived appropriately early and went through all of the things you have to...

Baby Animal Therapy -or- SQUEE! OMG OMG OMG OMG!

So fellow Brisbane blogger and media chick Natalie aka Girl Clumsy had a strange thing happen to her on the internet. You should ready about it here. It’s no secret that I absolutely LOVE animals and when I saw Natalie mention that she might be organising a baby animal zoo I was 100% committed to being there wherever it took place. I mean come on, it’s a bunch of...

How are you supposed to talk to doctors?

So I have my first specialist appointment this week. I was thinking about it today and the sorts of things that the doctor will probably ask me and I found myself starting to stress out about how I’d talk to the doctor when I’m there. I figure he’ll ask me questions about my bowel movements and how my insides are feeling and I was thinking about these things...

Walkies – 23/04/12 – ARGH! SPIDERS!

You know what? I’m gonna stop posting my time and distance in these blogs I think. I’m doing at least 30 mins and at least 2km a night, so unless I crack some sort of massive distance I think I might just write about my observations on the walk and mention anything interesting that happens. Tonight was pretty dark when we headed out and it’s Monday so...

Walkies – 22/04/12 – Let’s make Kylie have to paint at least 100 cupcakes!

Time: 0 hrs 34 mins 28 secs Distance:  2.32km Notes: Oh my god. Tonight’s walk wiped me out like crazy, I dunno what’s going on. It wasn’t the coolest night out and there was very little breeze coming off Moreton Bay, so maybe it was just hotter than usual and it took it out of me. I also went down and back up the steep ramp part tonight, so I think that was...

Walkies – 21/04/12 – Back at it!

Time: 0 hrs 35 mins 17 secs Distance: 2.05km Notes: Back at the walkies today! Last night my head was KILLING me when I got home, then the Homer Simpson in me started chasing a Cane Toad around the yard with my camera. I stopped when he hopped through the fence and was hit by a blasting headache 10 times worse. So had a night off. Today we did the 2km route because we spent...

Walkies – 19/04/12 – Shorties

Time: 0 hrs 27 mins 40 secs Distance: 2.0km Notes: Did a shorter walk tonight. Have felt a bit terrible all day today. Spoke to the clinic where I have to go see the specialist to try and bring my appointment forward but can’t. I either have to take the appointment they’ve given me or get pushed back at least a month. Fuck that. I’ve managed to get in quickly...

Walkies – 18/04/12 – 3km is the New Black

Time: 0 hrs 43 mins 30 secs Distance: 3.0km Notes: Oh yeah. See that? No *! Awesome. It was actually a little further than 3.0km, but like I suspected yesterday, the app I’m using stops at 2.99km when I have the goal set to 3.0km for some reason which makes no sense to me. Maybe I need to set my goal to 3.01km just so I can see 3.okm on the screen! A lot of observations...
