Well I have had a few complaints regarding the fact that the blog is not up to date. I have referred these complaints to the appropriate department who have stated that the complaints should have been made on the proper form in quadruplicate. However I have convinced them to answer the complaints and answers should be received sometime in the next year or so! For me there was not a lot to report, but I will try to be a little more regular.

Back to the lady in question. Elaine is much improved in fact very much improved, she is a very different woman to the one that arrived back in Perth on the June long weekend thanks to her medical team and of course her own competitive spirit. Elaine's pain has been dramatically reduced with the groin pain (which was the principal problem) almost gone, but she still has lots of pain in her right shoulder. This is probably due to inflammation caused by the radiotherapy and we are hopeful that it will decrease during the coming days...fingers crossed. Elaine is now doing things around the house, interfering with my cooking (!) and yesterday came with me to pick Lyla up from school.

Today we had an appointment with Dr Chan. However he called in and did not attend the clinic at Charlies, so we saw one of his offsiders. This was OK although not ideal. He will advise our doctors on a suggested program to reduce the medication after Elaine's shoulder pain subsides.
