Tasmiya

So let’s get it out of the way – yes I haven’t been blogging for the longest time.

Thankfully my neck is ok – no surgery required, I just need to take things easy which of course I always do because I only have 4 children and not that much washing or dishes or food to cook.

There has been other illness in my families which I don’t think am ready to discuss and besides, you all come here for the humour so am not going to be Debbie Downer today. Tomorrow may be another story.

I made a comment on a blog I used to frequent and I thought it was pretty benign but next time I visited there was a huge ass ranting type of post that I can’t help but think was/is directed at me.

Yes I did say I wasn’t going to be a Debbie Downer but can I just say that pointing out something does not necessarily come with judgemental overtones and yes I can understand why someone may be a bit primed to take things like that in a judgemental light but anyways.

Ooooh ooooh state election! What a bunch of FW are the politicians in this state.

I think I have nits.

The postings they have been infrequent.

I have a blog.

Hello.

There is much happening here in Tasmiya Palace and not all of it good. Kids are on their last http://www.strolf.com/ of school which you’d think they’d be pleased about but no. They are irritable, grumpy and ill-mannered! what the hell, boys? You are supposed to be happy and the sooner you figure that out the better for all of us.

I have cervical spondylosis = moderate to severe arthritis in my neck. What the hell? I am not even 40 and already my joints are rebelling.

So of course it isn’t just a case of arthritis is it? So new bone formation is pinching on nerve roots and discs are bulging and pushing on my spinal cord.

10 days ago I was normal.

What the hell?

Not that I am complaining or anything but I am not in any pain at all and very minimal discomfort. I don’t even need to take drugs.

What the hell?

So MRI and specialist appointments have been scheduled. Part of me wants to have dangerous, risk laden, painful spinal surgery just so that I won’t have to wait for things to get worse. Is that wrong? Am I being unreasonable? I will speak to the surgeon of course and trust that he knows best. I am comforted in the idea that I am surely not the worst case he has seen and thank God I am still able to function without problems. Others are not so lucky.

Working again. Only the occasional day when others have holidays but so exciting to be able to use my brain! Am working Christmas day which is usually full of sadness. Owners don’t usually come to the vet on Christmas day unless things are dire. I think I do more euthanasias on Christmas day than any other day of the year.

It’s December and it’s 24^C in Brisbane.

Not complaining but what the hell?
