@ariel
Thanks Beaches
I’m feeling tired at times but only from my peginf damage so I don’t count that.
Mentally I think my report card has a + beside my letter score now.
Physically my upper arm strength is paddle fitter by say 75%
Core strength is at the stage of “oh really is it 11.30? I paddled out at 9; oh no I better leave I only had an hour to spare!”
Skin is clearer and fresh looking but apparently dehydrated my GP noted
What! Not more water! I just drank enough to get across the Simpson gimme a break! Okay so I bought a moisturiser and I am having microderm on my neck for damage from peginf anyway. That’s supposed to stimulate the cells but at this age gawd knows.
Its on Medicare because its not cosmetic it’s at a doctors and for damage. Yes I get a red neck from it (redneck haha, generic rebels)
My digestion is great. Some resetting of bowel routine post EOT intermittent for a fortnight or so.
Slept a full day once since EOT. Thats it!
I think this week is my best so far.
The first fortnight post EOT was my most tricky and I am sure others would be agreeing after all these meds if you are not on riba have a relatively short half life
We are blessed
Let’s hope the good work in Oz can continue and that our excellent Doc James is about to enjoy some rest this weekend!

Thankyou James and friends
Feeling stoked as a mermaid dancing with Steve Tyler.
My journey began with him and I rekn I will save the last dance for him too.

“…….do you see a bluer sky now
you can have a better life now
open your eyes
cause no one here can ever stop us
they can try but we wont let them
no way
maybe you & I
could pack our bags & say goodbye
and Fly Away From Here” Steve Tyler
