I'm still here

It has been a while since my last post and I guess I should offer some form of explanation. Here goes...

Work has been quite busy but I'm still loving it. Semester One has commenced with gusto and I have spent a large amount of the last few weeks issuing student cards and dealing with queries of various kinds at the front counter. My working day is much longer than I have been used to and so I end the day fairly exhausted. I usually come home, flop down on the couch with the cat and we fall asleep together by 6pm! There's the reason for my lack of blogging.

In other news, I am undergoing some tests at the moment to confirm an unusual diagnosis...unusual in the sense that the condition was diagnosed following an aromatherapy massage! To cut a long (and pretty boring) story short, I am being tested for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). It is possible that TOS is responsible for the dizziness which has plagued me for much of my life. The premise is that the muscles in the upper thorax are in a state of tension and are constricting the vascular and neurologic structures in that area and are subsequently preventing sufficient blood flow to my brain. Sounds dire, I know, but I'm quite positive that this can be easily treated by dietary supplements of magnesium together with an appropriately designed course of remedial physical therapy. So while this may appear to be a negative I'm actually quite excited by the idea that I can be free of the dizziness and other lifestyle-limiting symptoms I have suffered for years.

I'll let you know more about this as the test results become available. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers.

That's about all for now - it's well past my bedtime and I really just wanted to make a short post so you wouldn't think I was dead!

G'night friends and strangers.
