Thanks for Afternoon Tea Reminders (Tags) @Shaz51 @Judi9877
Hi everyone @Former-Member
I just had MRI Scan of my Neck, this afternoon - Spent about an hour waiting for the Scan (past appointment time), after filling out reams of Forms (paperwork).
Had Long Double Dr's Appnt (GP), before MRI Scan.
Had long Commute to Psychologist Appnt this morning.
Long day.
6.20pm here now - It's the 1st chance I've had all day to Stop & Rest (& eat Very Late Dinner).
My Stomach likes to have Dinner at 5.00pm (or thereabout), if possible.

Any excuse for a cuppa @Shaz51 Good idea for thread. 👍
@Adge you have had a big day, I can't do MRI's (panic attacks) How long were you in the tunnel? Such a 'pain in the neck' for you 🤣 🤭 No, really hope it's nothing serious.
I just found out an uncle has pancreatic cancer (3months to live 😢). I'm glad you had time with GP, is this all Centrelink requirements? Oh dear, gotta do it i suppose. Was the psych apt helpful? What did you have for dinner? Hard to cook when you tired. I had my 2 cups green vegies, cheese & herbs xox
My solicitor got my papers today, hoping she can help me resolve it. Expensive, but so worth it re anxiety.

Hi @Former-Member How was your day?
Today was about as long (& difficult) as yesterday - Success!
I figured out,after many attempts & asking help from people who did not know how (over several days) - how to get Blown/ Faulty Brake Light Globe out of complicated car Light Housing (Casing).
Very difficult to get my Hand into Hole in Car Boot (to access Brake Light Globe).
I lost one new Light Globe (fell inside Brake Light Housing/ Cover - Then managed to Put a 2nd New Brake Light Globe in (instead), & Got it working (Fixed Problem).
My WiFi Blocked me out Last Night, would not accept my own Password - No internet all Last night & half of today.
Went & Bought Ethernet Cable to Bypass having No WiFi (restore internet) - Had to measure, then buy 10m Long Cables (2).
Then After 1 & 1/2 hour Phone Conversation with Phone Company (Late this Afternoon) - I finally Got WiFi issue Fixed (Restored) - I got my WiFi Internet Restored.
So I can use Internet Again Now (Finally) via WiFi - With Cable Connection as Backup....
In case I have this issue happen again....
I was in the MRI Tunnel for about 25 minutes Yesterday Afternoon - 1 hour wait, before it (past my Booking time).
Yes it did give me a Pain in the Neck & Back, from Holding Absolutely Still (So Tense) for that Long.
Plus it kind of made me feel a bit Claustrophic (& Anxious) being stuck in that Tunnel for 25 minutes.
I am so sorry to hear that your Uncle has Pancreatic Cancer - Poor fellow, that is so Sad.
GP Appointments (4 Long Appnts) Is For-
1) Medical Evidence for Employment Services (Centrelink) Assessment, for possible Access to Disability Employment Service - Which is Simply Jobsearch Assistance (Not any Allowance or Pension).
2) Medical Evidence for NDIS Application - Which if Approved, will simply (maybe) Allow my Gardening Service to Continue (they come Prune my Shrubs) - Not to give me a Carer or Support Worker (as others might have through NDIS).
I did not Eat Well Yesterday - I was too tired & Over-Stretched.
Had some rushed Pasta late at night - Same thing happening today (or similar).
Yes I do hope that your Solicitor can Ressolve issue - although I don't know what issue she is needing to ressolve.
Rocky Road with Psychologist - Does not always (or often) seem supportive.
She always seems to Side with Government & Authorities, even though she (& many others) has not had the experience of Surviving on $360 per week (about $200 Below my minimum Weekly Expenses) - & has not had my Experience in having to deal with these Agencies (organisations, etc).
Best Regards,
Adge
