Trill, that's just gorgeous & I love that you are a co-conspirator! Also huge YAY for the approval on the drugs...I know a young mum who was lucky to be able to start this chemo that's fantastic for her type of advanced bowel cancer only because it was approved in the last Budget - just in the very nick of time for her. Though it's terrible that they should even have to pay, kwim?
I know! They had to pay for the radiotherapy treatment which was $100 per session but they could claim it back. With this I don't think they can because it is already reduced plus it is only new. Oh and he did get in touch with the Cancer Care people you suggested the other day too. Someone at the hospital gave him some info on it and he got the nurses to call them for him and they have been really helpful.
trill- i'm so thrilled your mum is getting married! and i love the 'up yours' sentiment. it's wicked!!
what kind of ring are you going to choose? all i can say is Wow!!!
how's all the uni work going?
md- hope E is ok. what does the dr think is wrong? not an ear infection i presume? poor little miss.
i hope you get your massage soon. i'm actually going to book one in for myself for the next couple of days. my back is really sore so i'm going to go for a remedial one.
mp- sorry to hear about your grandfather. how is melb treating you? did you get hit hard by the storms? weirdly the whole thing missed us. we just got a bit of rain. very strange as we normally cop the weather pretty hard up here.
isadora- how are you going? forgot to say i love your new name. lewis has an electronic dora toothbrush that he loves! he sings 'dora, dora, dora' in the bathtub when he wants me to get it LOL
girls if anyone is looking for somewhere to get some winter clothes we went to cotton on kids yesterday and got some fantastic bargains. a heap of their long sleeve/pant PJs were $10 and other designs were 2 for $40. they're lovely and soft. we also got lewis some fantastic thick trackie pants which i am loving, and some other (not as good) trackies 2 for $20. i'm actually thinking of going back and getting some more of the nicer trackies as i like them so much. he's in size 4 from there now!
where is everyone today? off having a lovely time i expect.
i was so bored that i ended up going to the shopping centre nearby that has a great kids' play area. i grabbed myself a coffee and let the kids play. jimmy had an absolute ball, i'm loving having 2 toddlers much more than having a baby and toddler iykwim?
lewis managed to steal a simpsons toy from Borders while i was looking at books- worth $17.95 ooppps! i didn't notice till we got out to the car and there was no way i was going back!
Trill, I'm glad your Mum's partner is getting some extra support, the earlier the better and they are a very compassionate group of people.
Ginger, nothing wrong with that! I've resorted at times going to macca's - ah bad - for the same reason, our local one has a pretty good play area for this age. From here on in they will play more and more...Missy E is really playing "with" and not alongside her little FDC friends these days, it's so cute watching them together (lots of dolly action LOL such girly girls).
OK went back and fortunately got in to see my dr who listened to everything I had to say. Even tho Missy E looked fine (she's been ok most mornings, it all degenerates in the arvo/evening/night). It's looking like it could be some transitory virus, her tummy is very noisy but the dr was able to palpate her whole abdomen with no apparent pain, checked she wasn't constipated etc. So if we have another hellish night tonight, I have forms for blood tests & an xray tmrw. But she's been eating a bit more today and no foulness yet so fingers crossed she's getting over it.
