Hello to Jessie from the 'Apple Isle"

Hi Jessie,thanks for your message. I am from Colac in Victoria so not far away from you as we are just up from the bass strait.
My name is Barbara I am 67 and it came as a heck of a shock when this happened but the doctors were fantastic. I don't have hospital benefits as I am on the pension(I am not going to bang on about that as we do ok)
The specialist had me in the Geelong hospital within four days of discovering problem so I have no reason to grizzle about the service.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Barbara.

Sorry Jess, I will get the hang of this thing. Before I had the pm I was at the doctor for an unrelated complaint and happened to mention that I can't keep information in my brain . Thinking back it was probably all about not enough oxygen to the brain. But I will keep at it even if I mess up a bit.When I told my doctor that I was learning the computer he laughed and said not to worry as we were taught one way all our lives and then this came along and our brains aren't used to this way of learning he advised I write everything down well there are bits of paper everywhere but I'll get there.
Thanks for replying Barbara

You know you're wired when...

You have rhythm.
