Dr. Rose

Well the test came back from my thyroid exam and everything
is OK but I am low in Vit D. So now I have to take a tablet
to supplement my Vit D. But we still have not found out why
I am sleepy in the afternoons and tired all the time.

So Dr. Rose sent me next door to get a blood gluouse test.
It is a fasting test and as I had not eaten all day I thought
I might as well do it now. It was 1 p.m. so the nurse took
the blood test. Then I had to have this gluouse drink. She
warned me that most people say it is very sweet.

St. Patrick's Day.

Well it was a bust this year. Because Meg is getting
married she said that she did not have the time for
her and Mick to come over and have a drink with us.

By 5 p.m. Cliff was too tired to go for a drink. It
was bad enough just trying to get him to go to the
supermarket.

Clean Up

Kath has said that I can't bring anything from my house that
belongs to her and Kirsten till she has cleaned out the garage.
This is so she can store stuff that won't fit into the house
into the garage.

I checked with the Council and the free tip day will be the
weekend of April 14th 15th.

So I went up to her place and we cleaned out the first third
of the garage and filled four and a half garbage bags with
rubbish which I will get rid of over the next two weeks.

I said that I would come up on Wednesday 3rd April and we
would do the rest of the garage, just leaving the last third
where all the old furniture is stored, most of which will
have to go to the tip!

The Pope

With all the talk about a new pope the question came
up on The Nine home page, "Would like to be pope?"
I answered NO, but over the last week I have been
thinking about this question. No I still would not
want to be the pope, but I was thinking what would I
do if I was the pope.

I would like to clarify some things.

The first thing would be pointing out that Christ was
born into a culture that followed the Jewish faith.

Thus when Christ preached a 'new' religion he used
the prinicples of his own religion.

Thus the commandments Catholics follow are the ones
given to Moses for the Jews to follow.

"Do not take the Lord's name in vain" has nothing to
do with Jesus Christ. Christ was not born and named
till many hundreds of years later. The Lord refered
to was the God, or as Catholics say 'God the Father.'

Doctor's Report

Well my new doctor, Dr. Rose, says that my blood report
came back reasonable normal. My throid is normal, which
surprised me. My blood work revealed I have a vitamin D
deficiency and an over supply of sugar in the blood.

I had to have a gluouse test. Fasting till I have a blood
test then drinking a gluouse drink waiting two hours and
having another blood test. The results will be in by
Friday 22 of March when I have my next appointment.

A Big Softie

Ross went to the Kiss concert on Wednesday night. So
Ariel and Sofie went into Cliff's room and were on the
bed. Jess was following him around like she usually
does. He complained that the dogs would not get off
the bed and come when he called.

I went into the room and at this point all three
dogs had made themselves at home on the bed. I just
looked at them, pointed at the door and in a firm voice
said "OUT" and they all got up, jumped off the bed and
went out!

Ciff really is a big softie!!

A New Doctor

My doctor has gone to Melbourne so now I have to find
a new doctor. I went to see Dr. Rose two weeks ago.
She seems nice. I needed a pap smear done as I received
a letter from my clinic to say I'm overdue for one.

I really did not want to see a male doctor and at my
first appopintment ask for a pap smear.

Well I went back Friday the 1st March to get my results.
But there is a problem. It seems the techs can't get a
reading on the cells, as they are too dry! So I have to
take a cream for about two weeks to help moisten it up,
but then I have to wait two more weeks so the cream does
not interfer with the reading.

She also ordered a throid reading to see if it is under
producing which could explain my weight gain, sleepy after
noons, cold feet and sleepless nights.

But I forgot to ask about the left knee which I hurt at
Karen's place. It has still not healed and is just as
painful if not more so than when I first did it. I think
part of the problem is the aspirn which helps PREVENT
clotting.
