This Thread is about how a person who had a stroke in May 2021 is experiencing life AFTER the stroke. My Ups and Downs.

 

 Has anyone had radiation treatment in Australia over the last couple of years please?

 

Husband has just been given the costing and it doesn't make any sense.

Medicare pays $20,000

If you have to have radiation treatment you are expected to pay a further $620,00 a week for five weeks.

Even if you are on a Part Pension or Pension!

Hi Celia.   Great to hear all went reasonably smoothly.  Pity about the 'ouch' factor in the Diphtheria shot, but I guess it's a relatively small price to pay all things considered.  I, for one, am old enough to remember those dreadful diseases.  Thank goodness for vaccines.

All to best to you.

Hi Leonie.

The comment about the Diphtheria was to let some people realize the Pfizer is not as bad as they think and not to get anxious about it;  my second jab is more a worry as friends have said they got sick with it.

But we shall plod along and hope for the best.

Thank you for your comments Leonie.

I just wish others would bite the bullet and go along and have the jab it is more dangerous driving down the freeway!

Has anyone come across this programme on SBS?

For those people that have been following my frustration trying to type and read I wanted to show this video to you sent by a friend in NSW.

He knows I enjoy science so he shared this with me.

But I don't know if it will work on this site.

It is fast for me to read, much too fast.  But I got the idea of the message and I will try and share it on the other Thread that is about our Plant.

But for those that have no idea of what I am going through it will show you how slow I am reading but at least I can read a lot better than I did when I left hospital in June.

I would have loved to have read the captions here but I am grateful for the 'bits' I am able to absorb in my brain.

I put this site into the Gardening thread a few days ago but it is high up and I think it may have been missed.

For those that enjoy a nice Gerbera like I was chatting about, not from Bunnings but the old Club I used to belong to,

they have some delightful strong quality plants.

They used to send them interstate years ago but I am not sure they do it now especially with the Pandemic. 

 

 

I am growing this one!

I had a white one but it died!

This is not my flower but one off the net but it looks the same it is facing North, they love the sunshine.  The plant started off in South Africa and has been grown in the nurseries over the years.  Husband used to drive passed the wild ones he tells me on the way to Cape Town.

Celia - They are just beautiful.  When I used to do my Craft classes on Quilling, we learned how to make them. Some of them were almost impossible to pick the difference between real and paper. I miss those classes. I used to love making the Bottlebrush , Waratahs and Wattle and the Geraldton Wax. 

Celia, you must have a most beautiful garden.  I do envy you.  I am not blessed with a "green thumb".  Thank you for sharing.

 

Beautiful Celia ... love gerberas, so colourful ... my DIL chose them for her wedding bouquet.

Must admit I am confused at the comments here?

 

Beethoven's 10th symphony is finished 194 years after his death - by artificial intelligence that used just 250 surviving bars of notes

Beethoven's 10th symphony has been completed 194 years after his death by a computer that recreated two movements running to 40 minutes in length.

Experts from Paris's Centre de Recherche sur la Conservation (CRC) were able to distinguish between the inks used in the redactions and that of the underlying text.


 

It is that time of year where we need to watch what we do in the heat;   I just hope smokers keep away from dry bush to protect peoples homes and our little friends that live in the bush.

It is so upsetting to see these little creatures and even the larger ones being burnt due to our ravaging bush fires here in Oz.

Totally agree Celia.

Or being hit by cars.

Avon Valley WA is a lovely little spot for people to venture into if you do not know the area and have come from the Eastern States to visit  [one day] when things get back to normal that is!

We miss going out to see the countryside the last eightmonths due to husbands illness and mine.

It used to be a favourite drive of ours for the day out.
