It is better to know
Today I was watching one of the series I follow on Netflix. I don’t know what I would do without Netflix and other streaming services, especially when I have been recovering from one of yet another surgeries. When you are immobile or have limited and painful mobility, any distraction that doesn’t hurt is invaluable! Anyway,…
Keep readingParent to Child – Child to Parent
Below is a link to my blog regarding this topic. When does the change happen that instead of us being the parent and our children obey our rules to them feeling they have the right to impose their rules on us? Sometimes it can feel like just because we have grey hair or no hair,…
Keep readingParent to child – Child to parent. When does it change?
It’s funny I think when we look back on our previous lives and sometimes we remember events quite differently than when we were amongst it. Bear with me, as I try to explain. When I have reminisced with my children – now very much adults, my youngest turning 40 at the end of the year…

Keep reading“So you’ve got Parkinson’s” – some thoughts and a poem
So you’ve got Parkinson’s. Does that mean that everything else in your life must take a back seat and let this beast of a condition take over? No way, I say! Parkinson’s is like the freebee you get with something you wanted to buy. You take it, cos maybe you feel you ought to, but…
Keep readingRecovery or regression?
At the moment I am away for a few days with my husband. After four years of pain both from my knee and my back it is sometimes difficult to figure out what causes each new bout of pain. We were going for a gentle bush walk and I was feeling very tired right from…
Keep readingA Health Passport and other information…
One of the things about being a Social Worker, is that a good Social Worker is skilled at first getting information from a client or patient. This is important because the Social Worker can then ensure that they provide information and support in relation to that person’s individual needs and preferences. When a person is…
Keep readingDo I want to know or do I not… The Podcast…
I thought I would share the podcast that I did on the topic too. We are all individuals and some may prefer to listen to a podcast – like someone I know who has a long drive home – in the car, rather than reading a blog. Or perhaps they might like to do both.…
Keep readingDo I want to know or do I not?
It sometimes seems to me when you have a ‘condition’ – I refuse to think of myself as ‘diseased’ – that reference to that condition crops up everywhere. Of course with social media being what it is and clever little algorithms (or whatever) stalk you and this affects what comes into your feed. While I…
Keep readingSome more thoughts about the fine line…
Well, yesterday I wrote a post called ‘there’s a fine line…’ and I have been thinking about how things went yesterday. Just reflecting on the game and perhaps trying to analyse why the other team played so much better than us. Of course, one reason is that they are known to be two of the…
