A long Tuesday

It took me all day to get my work done as there were a lot of entries. Adding the case notes makes the job longer. Julie Nelson showed up briefly in the afternoon.

Another Mundane monday

Back to work again. Life at work is pretty mundane, but i enjoy it. I had to go to the clinic again, but did not need the dressing changed. I bought some anti-biotics from the chemist. I got an email from Pauline. She is back in Australia. I think she might want us all in Brisbane for christmas day.

AFL Grand Final day 2008

Today was grand final day 2008. Hawthorn caused an upset and was beat Geelong by 26 points. It was not a bad game. I did not do much all day long except watch TV.

A tiring but interesting friday

In the morning the district nurse failed to show up to dress my wound so i went off to work. We has a meeting at lunch time in the hall next door that was very informative. There was also a nice lunch on offer. I found out from Kath later that i had to start putting the case notes onto the database. That will happen in earnest next week.

I had to go to the clinic to get my dressing changed. The doctor is pleased with it. I met Nick Van Dalen there. He had to get something out of his eye. I was really tired when i got home but there was an interesting documentary on Stuart Sutcliffe "aka the other beatle" which was interesting.

A quiet Wednesday

Thank goodness for Wednesdays. Today was another day off. I spent most of the morning studying up on Coldfusion 7. I got a haircut in the afternoon. I had a chat with Graeme Phillips in the bus on the way back. Otherwise, a quiet but not very exciting day.

Monday, monday

The nurse came around early and dressed my wound. I should have had a shower first, but she said the wound is looking good. Blood is getting in, which is a good sign.

I had a good day at work, finishing off the cheques database. The weather has turned cold and windy.

Sunday the 19th of September

I walked to church again today. I am really getting sick and tired of it. Actually the service was interesting. A different guy preached and he was quite interesting. Got us all talking and thinking about "the mess". Something that God is in control of. I quite enjoyed the service, but i am really tired of walking to and fro.

Friday the 19th

The end of the working week again. I felt really tired when i got home. I feel that the anti-bio tics that i am taking have made me a bit drowsy. After a bit of i lie down i went and hired a DVD called"Stargate: The Ark of Truth" and did a bit of shopping. The movie was good, i really enjoyed watching it, so i felt better later. I had planned to go to Melbourne the next day, but i think i will give it a miss.

Last hospital visit for a month

I started the day paying a visit to hospital to get my wound checked. The doctors seem pleased. They told me to come back in a month. Ruth has gone on holiday for a week. Other than that, not much to report.

A wild and really wet Monday

Today the weather was really wet and really windy. I had to take my raincoat to work. I went to the bank at lunchtime and on the way out i ran into Ps Phil. As it turns out, he has been wanting to have a chat with me about the website. I have arranged to go to his place on Wednesday afternoon. Should be interesting.

When i got home i found out that the District Nurse had visited. I called and hopefully i will catch the nurse tomorrow morning to get my dressing changed.

A Windy Sunday

When i started to walk to church it was very windy, so i did not go to church today. I really need a car but i just cannot afford one so far. It was a quiet day otherwise.

A quiet Saturday

I did not do much today except go to the clinic to get a new dressing. I walked from the clinic to Bendigo as i had just missed the bus and would have to wait an hour for the next one. The weather is clearly warming up. I feel that the antibiotics i am taking are working but are making me a bit drowsy.

End of another week

Today marks the end of a difficult week. I had the flu on Tuesday and could hardly carry on. Then i had to go on antibiotics on Thursday. I have decided to drink no alcohol this weekend as a precaution. They say you shouldn't mix alcohol and medicine. I got a letter in the mail telling me of another doctor's appointment next Friday. I later bought some pads for my dressing. Today marks the seventh anniversary of the September 11th attacks in the USA.

Back to hospital

I had to go back to the hospital to for a follow up visit. The doctors told me that the wound was infected. They tried to drain the fluid out but as it was infected i needed to go on a course of anti-bionics. How annoying. I will have to take two weeks of antibiotics and have the wound dressed regularly. I hope that this will finally be the end if it.

Another wednesday free.

I went to the hospital and picked up a certificate from the doctor who saw me at the clinic last Friday. I am seeing the other doctor tomorrow. I feel that i am over the flu.

Back to work

It was good to get back to work. A couple of Uni students have started work experience at BUCO. They both seem nice. I got most of my work done. I have taken the dressing off and it feels ok.

Desmond came around to see me in the evening. He looks terrible. He has had a bike accident and showed a few scars. He told me he feels that demonic spirits trip him up. I told him to pray against them and to take authority over them. I hope he heeds my advice.

A kind of of Super Sunday

I walked up to church again. The hall was still cold and there is no indication of when we are moving to Fitt Crt. Never mind! A word came that went like this, "Now it will spring forth". I really feel that that is applicable to me. I have been wondering lately just what these last twenty or so years have all been about. Now i believe that the Lord will reveal it to me.

I walked into town and went to the Computer swap meet. I bought a copy of Google Sketch up and a new mouse pad. It was an interesting day overall.

The Wednesday after the operation

This was a fairly full on day. I actually saw two movies in the one day. I went to the cinema to see Batman: The Dark Knight. It was very good, very intense. Heath Ledger was marvellous as the villain. Pity he is dead!

For the Shiraz club we went to Rod Geri's house. We saw a movie called the farmer astronaut, a fictitious movie about a farmer who launches himself into space. It was not bad. The fellowship was great as usual.

When i got back home i got to catch the Apprentice, the british edition.

Back to work

It was my first day back a twork in nearly a week. Everybody was glad to see me back, and it was good to be back. Even though i was snowed under with work, it was a really good day. The outreach was much busier than usual.

Funeral of an old friend

This week, my good friend Colin Pilcher passed away after a fall at his home. I have known Colin for more than 40 years and it was sad to se...
