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!

Dire warning from top doctor that Australia has 'close to zero' chance of eliminating the Delta strain and must frantically vaccinate everyone with AstraZeneca instead

Coronavirus Australia: Top doctor calls for all restrictions on AstraZeneca vaccine to be

Professor Bruce Robinson, chairman of the National Health and Medical Research Council, believes all restrictions on the AstraZeneca vaccine should be scrapped as there aren't enough doses of Pfizer to go around. He said the ruling by the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation was 'wrong' and needs to be changed 'ASAP'. The professor said he believed there was now a 'groundswell of of medical opinion which feels ATAGI's advice was wrong and that it needs to be publicly changed'. He said this would encourage more Australians to get jabbed as the highly contagious variant continues to spread through Sydney and now Queensland.

 

This is what worries me they are pushing this darn AstraZeneca vaccine  maybe because they have so much of it and it is becoming out of date and they need to get it all used

After the current outbreaks, the more people vaccinated the better IMO.

Australia is so far behind other countries in this regard.

 

Well I didn't receive a reply from the PM, I got a reply from the WA Health Authorities!  Vie the Federal Health Minister, who had been passed on from the PM!    I have the ok to get the vaccine but they cannot let me know when!

So the GP today informed me I have to go to a doctors surgery near by to put my name down, as they have started to give the jabs with the Pfizer, talk about being long winded!  Why couldn't they have done that from the Health Detente themselves?

The email I did get was all long winded and political telling me how wonderful the Liberals are!

Good luck with your GP Celia. Hope you get the jab soon.

Thanks RnR I need to get it sorted this morning, not how many months I will need to wait for it, I have to have a Prolia jab too, it was due in June!

 

Celia, they are useless and never give any replies that are anything but political BS and never answer your questions -- I have had a few replies like that -- and they took their darn time too -- they were answered many months after I emailed and really never really answered my questions at all, they were as you said all political and praising the LP party.

May I ask how long you have been having the Prolia injection?

Hope everything goes well Celia, must be awful to be in your position, I hope you get the Pfizer soon. 

I would have loved to have placed this in the Thread on parts of the world that I started some time ago but I cannot find it so I shall hope you like it here.

A hidden paradise: Photographer finds the 'bluest water in Australia' in a tiny town of just 207 residentsPhotographer Adam Rikys finds the 'bluest water in Australia' in Coral Bay, WA

A photographer claims to have found the 'bluest water' in Australia - but you'll need to buckle in for a lengthy road trip if you want to swim in it.

Old friends of mine worked at Coral Bay on and off for years. They loved it.

 

 

More Australians should travel over there it is a lovely spot that most miss, people seem to prefer to go to crowded spots in Queensland for their holidays sadly.

I had an area of this in a Thread nearly a year ago about travelling but it seems to have been killed off sadly.

 

 

Size 10 woman, 21, vows to boycott retailer over its 's*** sizing' after not being able to fit into size 14 jeans 

Chloe said she 'refuses' to buy or even try-on a size 16 pair, because she doesn't want to support the budget clothes stores 's****' sizing.              Chloe-Mae picked up a few different sizes and filmed herself trying on the largest size.      

Chloe said she 'refuses' to buy or even try-on a size 16 pair, because she doesn't want to support the budget clothes stores 's****' sizing.

Chloe-Mae Anderson-Maguire (pictured), 21, from Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire, claims she usually wears a size 8- 10 in jeans but went to her local Primark and was unable to get the size 14 pair over her bum.She said she 'refuses' to buy or even try-on a size 16 pair, as she doesn't want to support the budget clothes stores 's***' sizing.She posted her video to TikTok with the caption: 'WTF Primark. I'm a size 10. I'm bloated but still!! I refuse to buy a 16.'

 

 

Poor girl, a bit slow. lol

 

I agree with that person -- the sizes are a disgrace and nothing near what they should be I have sizes from 16 to 6 in my wardrobe and they all fit,  trouble is we don't have a lot of choices as they are mostly all imported from China

 

Although looking at that utube -- that lass is nowhere near a size 6

Bad news!

Hubby mistook the email about having the ok to have the Phyzer!  I read it for myself and it said no.

So they have not taken any noticed to the letter the specialist said.

So much for my recovery!

The after 2 weeks the ASKO washing machine blew up I am still waiting for a fan belt.

Advice to women looking for a ASKO product don't it is not worth the money and frustration.

We always use to swear by that brand but not anymore because the Swedish firm sold them out to a Slovian firm and we have had five yeas of rebuilding the machine even the mother board.   Now they are trying to get a new belt from wherever?  Think I will go and get a different brand of machine and put this old one in the garage to collect dust.

So sorry to hear about your Pfizer disappointment.

Good luck with your new washing machine if you get one.

I have a Speed Queen washing machine -- before that I had a Kleenmaid  for 26 years I swear by these although Kleenmaid is no longer made

Darn disgrace the way the vaccinations are being handled Celia I had a friend that had the same trouble as you and they had the same stuff up

Apparently in NZ they only have Pfhzer!

Friend that flew over there   [her home] six weeks ago got talking to a friend who is a nurse said she would not have the AstraZ.  However my husband has had it and is about to have his second.

I am now wondering if I need to make an application for the Moderna, so that means back to the GP for more documentation and a new application, it is apparently similar to the Pfhzer.

My first washing machine was a Hoover Twin Tub - bought 2nd hand in the late 60's.   It lasted us for ages before packing it in. We did rent a couple before deciding on a Simpson. It is the best, and have had it for over 16 years and it still goes perfectly. 

Ivermectin - Bing

Take a look at this!

Not everything is good, apparently in the USA people have been taking this thinking it was good for them!

Oh dear.

Oh! didn't think he was that age!

We had two this morning taking out the coconut fibre from a new hanging basket that I had to discourage them with a spray of water and vinegar!  They took chunks of the fibre for nesting.

'A family torn apart in one quick moment': Baby girl DIES after 'sickening' incident involving a swooping magpie at a parkBaby is left fighting for its life after a freak incident involving a swooping magpie in

A baby girl has died after a freak accident at Glindemann Park (pictured, top right) in Brisbane's southeast at 12.05pm on Sunday. A mum reportedly tried to duck a swooping magpie before tripping over with her baby in her arms. An ambula

 

I am so mad about them getting rid of these magpies --FGS there were many warnings and this stupid woman chose to walk with her little baby there ----VERY SAD that this happened BUT -- magpies do this every darn year and so do we kill or get rid of them every time -- I say just stay the hell away from their places when they are breeding --there were many warnings posted and they chose to walk there.

Next year there will be more magpies there doing the same thing -- I ask,  are people more important than wildlife NO THEY ARE NOT

I have magpies here all the time and they know me and never do they attack me.

FGS  WTFU and don't think humans are more important than wildlife!

 

Might have looked better of you to have allowed them to have some for their nests or even put something out that they can use for their nests, and be kind.

 

The annoying thing was for years I have left bits of old coconut fibre out for them and they didn't take it, now I have a new basket and they want to rip it apart!     

Reminds me as a child of about 5 years old in the UK, my bedroom was at the top of the house in other words an attic, there was a fire place in the room and dad went to build a fire and a bile of smoke came out of the chimney!  LOL  He had to take the fire apart and look up the chimney and saw a huge birds nest sitting blocking the chimney!  LOL  It was a pair of storks, I am guessing he removed their nest, whether it was an old nest or not I don't know, it may have been as this was winter and I don't think storks put nests up then, who knows.  In English winter hubby says they fly to Africa!

I do not want to encourage these birds into our garden Plan B.

Just spend some time reading some of these replies on this Thread well worth a read.

 

An Australian woman has come up with a genius hack for stopping curious and hungry creatures from making a mess of your wheelie bin.

Bianca's cheap and easy tip to stop animals and birds opening up bins went viral in a Facebook organising group where members raved about her advice.

The simple hack only requires four thick cables ties and two refilled 1.25 litre soft drink bottles, which are strapped to the wheelie bin lid to stop animals from tucking in.

The fed-up Aussie attached two water bottles to the top of her wheelie bins with cable ties (pictured)

Why don't you want birds in your garden Celia?  I thought that is what gardens were for?

We have lots of birds in our garden, you are twisting my words Plan B.

You did say

I do not want to encourage these birds into our garden Plan B.

I just thought it strange as birds are so wonderful and magpies are so loving and always so friendly if you are to them

Have not been on the computer much these last few days it has been too sunny here in Perth, looking at the weather on the ABC it looks about the same temperatures as Sydney.

Went to Bunnings and got some seedlings to put in to the back garden tomorrow, Lollypop Primula and various blues of Lobelia.

Had an appointment with the Doctor this morning also, we had a chat about the virus and how it is affecting people that end up in hospital.  He said most people get   Pneumonia that ills them.

He reminded me that I had a injection in 2015 for Pneumonia protection and said there was a new one available just recently and said I should have it then and there!   I said I would think about it!   I thought about it at home this afternoon and man an appointment on Tuesday to have it.

Which made me think, how many people on this site have had this and new about it?

Husband has had it and will be having a booster, it comes in two and the booster is given a few years later.

I think they start giving it to people aged 75.

Worth considering.

In the news today WA Premia has brought in Legislation that says if you don't have the Jab you are not allowed into WA.

Good idea!  I like his way of thinking.
