No news is good news.

This is why I haven't posted for such a while. Yay!

I have been busy with a few things recently.

I met up with a bunch of other women who also have MS, who live in D-Town and surrounds. That was nice. The croissant and smoothie I had were tremendously over priced for what they were and the wait was ridiculous, but that's D-Town for you.

I conquered a fear. The dentist. Had a wisdom tooth yanked. It was a tad traumatic. She lied to me. The dentist. She said I would be okay to go back to work. I was not. It's been 3 full days since, and I am still looking like a puffer fish - though the puffiness has subsided somewhat, and the pain no longer requires heavy killers of it. I have a feeling that it was part of her strategy to get me in for the removal by lying. I have already forgiven her though. So we won't dwell.

I have painted a few paintings.

I have written my reports.

Attended an atrociously bad, poor, not useful at all, professional development day.

I also tried to organise to see a dermatologist to ask about a few things. I had a referral from my GP. BUT a 6 month wait is what it will take to see the one and only dermatologist in Darwin. Ha! In your face Sascha! Is that not out of this world ridiculous? So I currently have my mum on the case with Mr B 'down south', to try and get something sorted when I am there.

A few weeks back I received a parcel in the mail from an old high school friend. She has been reading my blog and when she read about my one eye wide open, contacted me for my address to post me samples of eye drops she highly recommended. And she did deliver. Thank you Katie! What a generous and kind thing to do - especially considering we haven't seen one another in probably...15 years! What a gem.

Oh yes, I am going to Sydney for 10 days. And it couldn't come soon enough. I leave in less than a week. CANNOT WAIT to get away from this feral heat and sleep under a doona.

I also have an MRI of the brain and cervical spine and then an appointment with my neurologist almost a week later. So in a few weeks time, I will have plenty of things to tell you all about. Think positive for me won't you now? Think: "No new lesions". Cheers.

Until then...be good kids!
