I need help of some sort.
Today I was going to blog about actually getting off my arse and going for a walk, but instead I'm back to my usual problem if Miss Molly (the border collie) pulling palings off the back and side fences where there happens to be other dogs. This would not normally be a problem if I didn't have Master Humphrey the Alaskan Malamute who of course doesn't like small dogs and will go into the other properties causing God knows what problems.
You may remember some time ago the neighbour on the left had a Jack Russell. I say had as some how after palings were removed by Miss Molly, said neighbours dog ended up dead in our back yard!
I don't know how to fix this problem of her pulling off the palings. Its doing my head in and once Daz gets home he will be less than impressed once again. I thought about running the clear plastic along the fences like they place around trees to stop the wild life ruining the trees but Daz says it won't work. Anyone else have any thoughts on what I can do?

hypnotherapy
I was thinking today about undertaking hypnotherapy for weight loss. Has anyone done this in the past or know of anyone who has done it? I called today to check the price and number of sessions required which was $95 (goes for about an hour) and takes about 3 sessions, done once a week or every second week depending on the person and then only if you fell like you need it. Of course they said it was highly effective, but that's something I would expect them to say. Couldn't imagine them saying, 'oh yeah come along and give us money but don't expect any changes'. I guess I won't know if it will work unless I give it a go.

The crapola you see
You know I was preparing for diner tonight when I heard on the TV a new 'detox' diet.
Lose a dress size in 2 days! How can that be good advertising. There really should be something stopping that type of advertising. You even get to try it for FREE for 21 days!

God I'm bored
I'm so bored I'm now playing Uno online with Facebook for God's sake.
Isn't it funny that when I think I will start exercising by going for a walk, it rains!
Does anyone know if you can walk the 10km for the Melbourne Marathon??

Update on hubby
So as it turns out after seeing the cardiologist, Daz does have this Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome which means that he will have to see the man that I will be calling the 'heart electrician' cause I don't know what else to call him...........
Apparently they can do some sort of day procedure to fix the problem, when this happens he will be out of action for 6-8 weeks, me is freaking a little since he is now self employed so that means no funds! f course we are going to leave this little condition away from our government adoption agency. No need to alarm them................ If this little day procedure doesn't work it will be a matter of cracking the chest open to fix it. I'm just going to assume until proven wrong that it will be the day procedure that fixes the problem.
Now onto issue number 2. Gallstones. It appears that Daz has 10 5mm stones which means he has to have his gallbladder out. But wait for it, not until his heart op. I didn't go to the doctors appointment but Daz tells me the doctor was speaking to him as if he was dying. He is a little worried now. It also appears that it is a certainty that he will have more gallstone attacks and has been advised by the doctor to inform his work that if they see him changing to the colour of yellow to call an ambulance!
Lucky we are in the ambulance that's for sure but we do not have private health insurance. The doctor seems to think that even though we do not have private health insurance that we will get through the waiting list for the heart procedure very quickly but our next appointment isn't until the 7th of September.
I'm just so worried that if I cook the wrong food or he eats something at work he might end up in all that pain again. However the doctor said that if he has the attack again they may have no option but to remove his gallbladder first.
On the high side, I got a job, I start on the 31st of August, however its not the job I want. I have another 2 weeks to get the job I want but that seems unlikely since the job applications closed 2 weeks ago and they haven't sort listed yet! That's government jobs for you.

The results
Well this seems to have turned into Dazza's blog doesn't it? But I guess he does effect my life so its not so bad to blog about him.
It turns out he does have Wolff-Parkinson's White syndrome, we have another appointment with the doctor I will call the 'heart electrician' to tell us our options for having this extra abnormal pathway in the heart treated on the 7th of September so will update after this appointment on the treatment, in the mean time he just has to carry on as per normal, what ever that is. LOL
Ultrasound was this morning for gallstones, as it turns out again, another yes, he has a very large one which the tech told him to take it easy on the fried and fatty foods because its large enough to KILL him. Nice........ so we are off to the doctors on Friday night to find out the next course for this one as well.
Back to me, I'm still not working, went for a temp role yesterday part time, but we have to weight and see. On a good note I joined 'The Biggest Loser Online' last week in a moment of weakness, haven't been following it but have gone from 92.7 to 90.8 in the week. Don't know how that happened but I guess not frying anything since Dazza's attack is making a difference maybe.

Beaten up
It just keeps happening in our house!
Daz went to work yesterday in the 'chicken' factory, he had to do some pipe work and was there most of the day. Near the end of the day he was working away changing a O ring in a pipe when it started to shutter.
He thought, mmmmm not good, pretty sure this is not on. And that's when it hit him, straight in the left side of the face, chicken guts and body parts along with caustic acid which they clean the pipes with.
Apparently the plumber thought he was finished with the pipe and turned it on for testing!!!
He is a little worse for wear, lots of bruising to the face and legs as he was stuck in a spot he couldn't stand up in and had to try and crawl away with his eyes shut.
I've been giving him lots of love and attention, he says that it took the focus from his gallstones but I think that was only for a little while because he is back to worrying about what to eat and what will bring on another attack.
We're thinking of him doing a gallstone cleanse which is made up of virgin Olive oil, lemon juice and V8 or pineapple juice. It only takes about 4 hours to drink the lemon juice and olive oil and then wait for the bowel response. Should be interesting since we only have 1 bathroom but that may be the plan for next week end, wish us luck.

The end of life as Daz knew it
That's right poor sad and sorry for himself Daz woke up at 4.30am Thursday morning in extreme pain. Me being the loving sympathetic wife that I am, just told him to quit moaning and take some Buscopan. A little after 5am, we jumped into the car and off to the hospital we go.
After arriving, Daz right on queue started throwing up, straight in we went, after him bitching and moaning in emergency they gave him some morphine and then he was quiet. Me thinking that he's going to be here for a while after they draw blood, do an ECG, send for X-ray and put up fluid's, goes home as I left my dogs in the house and the cats are still locked in the bedroom. I go home, call his work, do the dishes, have a coffee and a shower, drop off his invoice to his work for payment, make my way back to the hospital, don't think I'm mean, he was asleep on the morphine anyway, and he's up, dressed and ready to go.
It appears at some point they tell him he has Gallstones. It also appears that they have found something on his 2 ECG's that they want him to have checked. They suspect him to have Wolfe-Parkinson White Syndrome so now we have a trip to a Cardiologist to look forward to in about 2 weeks. I don't know if he has it or not, I'm siding on not, but best to be checked.
He also have to have the gallstones confirmed by an ultrasound in about 2 weeks also. Because he is scared of the thought of going through that pain again he is really getting worried about what he can eat. This is a problem for a meat and fried food freak that he is, it appears that fatty food can bring on an attack. I looked up a few diets for gallstones and all show only vegetables! No meat at all. He is going to die on this diet. He even requested Subway instead of pizza last night.
If anyone has any experience with either of these issues, can you please let me know by leaving me a comment, I would really appreciate it.
