Heya, this is my first ever blog. Hmmm, so my diary, right?!!!
Captions log Aug-9th - Melbourne is so cold. I'm wondering if there is medication for this bad winter weather. Ugh, I hate winter so much. And since it's nearly spring (if we even have a spring), LOLOL, today it snowed up in the Alps here. Been there, done that, fun. Yes, fall, hell yeah. Did I like it? Yes, but not at nighttime waiting to go out to bars. Hehehe, okay.....
If I can help anyone with ostomy questions, I will sure try. I'm not a doctor or a stn nurse, but I do work (volunteer) at my Ostomy Association. It might be volunteering, but really it's a way of understanding, talking to other members who are all ostomates of some sort or another. And I did and still do ask questions, like "what's that for?" and "how does that work?" and "really, you have 3? Wow!" But it is real work, taking orders from picking them to nowadays working in the office. I call that the complaints department, and I really wish our Association was fully managed and some of us actually being paid a wage. It's so much of a job, but my body isn't always willing to get me through the rostered days I go to work. And 5 hours of office work can be more than I really can handle because the volunteers pass the buck too many times. Sick of being abused even when I'm not rostered for 5 days. But the best is to hear about the great outcomes of people who like to pop in, pick up their supplies, and to all the people I have gotten to know. And each month, they are looking healthier and happier. Okay, just thought as I have tried to blog before but had no idea what I was doing until I actually looked at what to do. Sorry, I do jump all over this site and haven't followed up on who's doing what and blah blah. Reefus is having her reversal soon, so good luck to you, my FB buddy Mandy. Also, Sherrybear has been in the hospital for her hernias, then had some surgery on her leg (poor Sherrybear, she has been in the hospital for, I think, more than a month). And hoping I can finally have a chat with my buddy Boop. Loving emoticons too. Anyway, I'm outta here for now. Be good, or be good at it. Mare-Lou Mooza. Hahaha, seeya Ambies. I do miss you very much, my lil friend or taller friend. I can't recall till the au revoir. Oh, I still type way too fast for my own brain or to check my Ps and Qs. Sorry 'bout that as well. Okay, good day, good evening, and goodnight from cold old Melbourne. Brr, brrr, brrrr. These do sum me up at times. Righty'o, toodle for now. Hope to be a bit more regular than I have been. FB too addictive. Pretty much sums me up too. LOLOL. Bye Mooza, cheerio Maremooza-looo-lou.
