So, it's the countdown to the next two years of my life. I have become highly organised over the last few weeks and now have my "office" perfectly laid out to suit me. I wonder how I managed for the last 4 years in such chaos of working at the dining table, definitely not conducive to effective learning and progress. Where was Jo (my study support from Claro) when I needed a kick up the ass to sort this room out :-) She will be so pleased when she sees me next that I am quite confident of. All I have to work on now is the physical me; this year I had laser eye surgery for acute closed angle glaucoma(which has to be redone tomorrow) and now it looks like I have carpel tunnel syndrome; quite common I am informed and may well be as a result of sitting a a computer for the last 6 or 7 years..May require surgery may not. I now sleep with some delightful looking splints on my wrists, this stops me from curling my hands over llike into the fetal position which has been trapping the median nerve. This causes numbing and tingling, and at times a lot of discomfort that feels like a burning/ice cold sensation in my hands. It's hard to explain really it's not pleasant and at times I can be seen wearing wool gloves at my computer even when the sun is shining as it gives a slight amount of relief. Oh well, it will get sorted soon. Off to see a nerve specialist who I am told will pass electrical currents through my arm to measure conductivity etc..nice..NOT!!
Getting old..things are falling apart. But I have to try and get a bit stronger, good food (grown in my garden) exercise and a healthy work/social balance should help get me on track.
So, this is it, this is where I begin. I shall do an update occassionaly, it may might be in the form of a rant, it might be with humour, it might be with an outburst of frustration..who knows it might be all wonmderful..I hope I can stick with it..I think it will be amazing to look back in a couple of years and see how I faired on this journey! adios for now..things to do. x0x
