living in the shadow of A(H1N1)

Mother to unborn child

People to people

What's next?

Better hold one's breathe when another person is coughing?

Don't think there is any escaping this new virus in that sense... Oh well keep on living and breathing while continuing to live a normal life...

Wonder whether it would transfer from human to animals though???

bark... bark...bark.... oink...oink... oink???

It is official

I have grown a couple of cm shorter than before my fall...

I am radioactive today due to a scan I had to do (nope I will not be glowing in the dark!)

In certan cases having a b;adder full is not a good look... It blocks the images of the scan...t hen again I had no sensation to answer any call.... being told that one's bladder is huge is not a great feeling either...

long silence

I know it has been a pretty long silence... Well nothing eventful has happened.. Been stuck at home some more and learning to wrok the core muscles in the back and abs... The simple things that we all take forgranted- like walking, standing, sitting, bending....

Oh and this is not written while in Shanghai as blogspot is down at the moment... 

okie back to bed....

Strange Happenings

Well... I have been stuck at home for the past week and a half!

But it being Mother's Day on Sunday got me the first outing in a trusty wheelchair (which Uncle Anthony had the honor of pushing- we were on the road for most of it as it was less bumpy than the footpath) and it felt like a child in a lolly shop... I was so excited and it was a lot of fun to get out of the house to have a meal and I admit I overstretched myself as I went to have hot chocolate as well... I was winded by the end of the night!

Physio on Monday was equally exciting outing wise (tragic but true!) and it felt good to be able to look at things from a sitting position.... It was exhausting working out at physio and am still attempting to learn to do the pelvic tilt properly... Not very good at that at all to say the least and it feels as if anything related to that motion is just about going down another path!

Showers are another highlight of the day! It is even more exciting when the notice for the stoppage of water is in worms and not circulated in all the letter boxes and is instead stuck on the notice board by the lift! So hey presto, I was happily starting my shower this morning and had just shampooed my hair... Tried to turn on the tap but there wasn't a drop of water! Yikes a head full of shampoo is not a good look even for me! So  had to resort to using the emergency bottle of mineral water to rise the shampoo out of my hair!

Wonder what is going to be next? Any ideas?

bed rest

I am officially on 2 weeks of bed rest! Have done 3 days already and it is driving me stir crazy! I am under house arrest and can't find a get out of jail free card or out of my restraining order... It is hard work to stay at home but I have not choice as I landed with a thump on my back over the weekend and fractured my T12 and L1... So rest and let the body heal is the order of the day.... 

All's well that ends well... Till next time.... 

Another Spring Issue

Pollen on West Lake in Hangzhou!

Seven Dwarfs

Dopey- I love this character to bits!

Grumpy- When I am overly tired and when I have had to teach for the longest time, I live up to this character... Well then again it doesn't take much now a days to feel this way some of the time... I guess having only a short break in the morning doesn't help the cause at all... That was what it was for me yesterday I had the lovely darling of K4 come for their visit and standing and squatting beside them doesn't help my knees...which leads me to...

Doc- I need one of those now...Is there a Doc in the house? With the new Swine flu floating around (What a name for a flu virus!) and Hand Foot and Mouth disease going round as well... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger so I have been told!

Happy- I can't wait for the weekend... Finally another long weekend in the making and I am going to do something or other... Like people say, "whatever floats your boat..." I need something to keep me in my happy spot

Bashful- LOL any comments here would be welcomed

Sneezy- Spring is the trigger for most people... The sufferers of hay fever and allergies! What a welcome to the warmer weather... It is a pretty sight but it brings on the suffering for many a people

Sleepy- That's what I feel right now! Then again that is how I always feel most of the time... There is never enough time to sleep! Some people were designed to be morning people and some people were not! I am definitely not a morning person at all! There is no doubt about that... I would give anything to put my alarm on snooze and keep sleeping till I absolutely have to get up and that means dragging myself out of bed!

All in all there is at least one of the 7 dwarfs in all of us!
