My first Blog for 2012!

I just realised it a very long time since I contributed an updated blog. My life has dramatically changed since then. 12 months ago I was caught in a bureaucratic tussle between two state government departments with neither preparing to budge. Fortunately it took the intervention of a third party to sort out the mess and now it is easier for me with several aids to assist my rapidly disappearing mobility. Walking now is a luxury as I now depend on a manual wheelchair just to get about my unit.

I am now an aged pensioner and also get assistance around the unit several times a week. My hearing difficulty is still present but the episodes are not as prolonged. When they occur, it leaves me almost totally deaf. It is very frustrating especially as I compile a monthly column on short-wave radio. Naturally I have become a grumpy individual at times as there is nothing I can really do about the changes in my body caused by ageing.
