the results are up , i guessed that when i went to the vampire's

Hi, Cookie

Pole dancing has taken on a new meaning for me in Courtenay Place as I'm now using a walking stick because of Psoriatic Arthritis.

Best wishes for your results

A Summons to the GP's office always has connotations,eh.Damn the Privacy Act i like to be forewarrned.

I hope the ankle is healing well and that WhingeNZ took it ok that you were not actively seeking employment, some Case Workers expect one to keep looking even tho incapacitated.

My youngest is officially 90% physically disabled but as his IQ is more than 145+ his GP refused to put him on the Invalidity Benefit, so he was forced to endure the crap from WINZ, he always got an interview, then they would call him in for a second one and focus on his disabillity rather than explore solutions to hire him and accommodate
him.
The Tax Department hired him finally, and he had great pleasure in going back to his Case Worker at WINZ and telling him what his starting rate was.The CW was green with envy.

my ankle is 90% ok just gets tired and sore in the evenings my doc put me on the sickness benifit 6 months ago , becouse i got stressed out of my little brain , dealing with winz and being unemployed , if your on the sickness benifit they dont want to know you ,

Good one, the cause of your sickness undubtedly was WINZ inflicted have your BSL'S dropped as a result?.

i went to see my doc today . and he is refering me to hutt hospital , my blood sugers are not good , and it looks as though i will be placed on insulin.
well it was going to happen sonner or latter
everything else was ok ,

Thats not good Cookie, hopefully they may be able to come up with some other solutions

my doc would like me to lose 25 kilos ,
think i will stop eating all togeather
anyway lets see what the hospital says

It's a fortnight to Christmas. I've got all the ingredients for Christmas baking that I usually make to give as gifts but my body won't let me do it. If only I just had Diabetes

AWWWWWWWWWW Elizabeth life can be a bi*ch sometimes. I look around and see people far worse off than me.

May you find the strength and courage to carry on my friend

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS
