We are encouraged as Australians to be tough, be strong, show that Aussie spirit and determination to tough it out. Nothing will beat us. We will ride through this. We will be strong. We share our troubles with friends, but life goes on, and more life issues arise which take centre stage. We do take our health for granted. We "soldier on" and proudly say that we haven't taken a "sick day" for months or even a year. We are proud of our stoic ability to carry on day after day. And
then the doctor or specialist highlights that "Houston, we have a problem!". With Bryce, it's been lots of little things. Skin cancers, respiratory polyps, "Knee" problems, Auditory associated conditions, etc and then the big issues of Heart conduction issues, and Prostate Cancer. And now for Bryce, some thyroid concerns and yet another specialist. WHY??? Bryce's lifestyle has been dedicated to good nutrition and exercise. With me, it's been mainly centred around endocrine issues and getting the Thyroid issues balanced. Lately it's been "eyes" (something not feeling quite right) and the referral to an opthalmologist again. Mind you, I liked my treats interspersed within the "healthy" lifestyle. But after Christmas 2010, I was determined to shed mega kilos. OK... so momentarily we both feel pretty weary with what has happened to the health we once took for granted. But... we will take one step at a time and one day at a time and navigate our way through any issue that life serves at us. We will enjoy the life that we are living. Day by day. And we will LOVE the time we have together in Tasmania in April.
