It's really good to receive responses to the blog ... it makes me feel that my efforts are not wasted! .... and it also reminds me to write further blog entries with news updates.
What's going on?
Kaylia is very happy and healthy. When I drop her off at the Workpower centre (so that she can have a day of movies, bowling and activities) ... the staff often comment on the relationship that Kaylia and I have as she is nearly always "smooching". She has Wednesdays and Friday at Workpower, Monday and Thursday mornings are for her Curve Style business. (Selling clothes on eBay) Monday and Thursday afternoons are with Jenny. She has speech therapy session on Tuesday morning ..... and then Tuesday and Saturday are also with Jenny .... usually going to movies, shopping, drives. Kaylia obviously enjoys her days.
Naomi is establishing her business as a clinical psychologist. Healthwise she needs to have a gall bladder op .... this is not very urgent and she is managing the day to day health effect. She's waiting for a suitable space in her work program to allow her to arrange the hospital visit.
Me .... my 5 day hospital visit 2 weeks ago was due to sepsis .... the culprit for this seems to be a lesion on my left kidney which is bleeding. This lesion was found a few years ago and the biopsy showed it to be benign .... no action needed. A scan 2 weeks ago shows that the lesion has enlarged. My theory is that when I fell in April and landed on the end of a steel pipe, the impact damaged the kidney as well as the ribs. Hence the bleeding. I'm told that the symptoms I have had since April might be explained by this. (It seems to be causing pain in the kidney region and lethargy. I'm having to rest much of the day.) The next step is to consult a urologist so that he can decide on an action plan. My preference will be surgery to remove the lesion and stop the bleeding.
