Harvest time

Pastor Kevin Forlong preached at Connect Church this morning. The theme of his message is that it is "time for the harvest". I feel we will have to wait to find out just what that means.

Election Day 2013

Good news!!! We finally have a new Federal government. Labour has been thrown out at last and Tony Abbott is our new prime Minister. The good news is we might just get some stability in government now.

Go Tony......

Last visit from the district nurse.

The district nurse came around today for the last time. She was happy with my legs progress and told me that I needed no more visits from the home nurses.

Ist day of spring 2013

Winter has finally ended. Spring is sprung at last and it was a nice warm day. 23 degrees. That was the coldest winter I can remember for years and I am glad to see the back of it.

Laid up at home with a leg infection

To recap, I am currently laid up at home with a leg infection. I have had the home nurses coming to give me injections up to Monday afternoon. On Monday the doctor put me on a course of oral anti-bionics. They seem to be working. The district nurse is coming every day to change my dressing. I will be happy when this is all over.

An overnight stay in Bendigo Hospital

The last two days have been eventful to say the least.
On Wednesday morning I visited to inquire about a sudden infection on my lower right leg.

It looked like a ripe sunburn but he doctor told me it was Cellulitis. A bug has got in under the skin and caused it to swell. He referred me to The Bendigo Base Hospital for an inspection and an overnight stay. The Doctors gave me a good examination, pumped some antibacterial fluid into me and gave me a bed for the night.

I did not have a good night's rest however as the ward was cold and it was a bit like Pitt St in there. Not a great place for sleeping. I was glad when they said I could go home and have the rest of my treatment at home. I could not stand another night in that place.
A couple of home nurses will visit me for the next three days to continue the treatment.
I should be OK by the end of next week.

Ears waxed out

This afternoon, I visited the Primary Care Clinic where a doctor syringed the wax out of my ears. I can now hear much better, which is great.
