G'day everyone! How are we all tonight?

I was sweating, but I'm all good now! I was gardening ^_^ Sometimes one needs something to do! LOL Blade joined me too, we chased the cat with the hose and then rolled around together. Silly Dog

Well, what's new? *hmm* well, if you read my last journal, you would know that i have 2 of my photographs in a public exhibition at Rainier's Gallery, Armadale. My work was the first one's up actually!!! And they're in the most awesome spot! *mwahaha*

Well today was an interesting one, but I'll get into that a bit later. Yesterday i finally got to see my specialist doctor to help diagnose my arm... turns out he don't know either. He told me to get a X-Ray and Ultrasound then come back to see him in 2 weeks time
Stupid doctors. Mean while, i get home and ring up the SKG radiology clinic at 2:40pm. The girl on the other line tells me; "We've had a cancellation for 2:50pm, you can come in!". I just stared at the phone as if i wanted to slap her but then agreed. I couldn't get outta there till 2:48pm, she kept asking me questions over the phone!

So i piss-bolt down there (speeding in local 50km zones and school areas) just so i can get there and finish this painful torture. I make it just in time, but I'm made to wait
So eventually my name was called by this little short Asian man and i followed him into an ultra-sound room and he told me to sit down on the chair and place my arm across the bed. So i did, we had very small talk and then he placed the blue gel on my arm and goes "Does this hurt?"

Digging the device deep into my most tender part of the arm. It became so un-bearable that i almost passed out. I begged for water and then i couldn't lift my head. We continued after i could see clearly again but then i began to cry. That's how much it hurts! I honestly just wanted to scream bloody murder and bolt outta there - BUT - my leg went dead! Like completely!

He finally finished, then offered me a seat around the side of his room to wait for my X-ray. I barely took a sip of my water before i was called up by this cruel looking woman. She was such a bloody bitch! I swear to god! Instead of smiling and assisting me, she pushed and shoved me into where she wanted me. She hiding behind a led wall while I'm stuck in there with this machine that is probably frying my brain!

By the end of it, i was ready to call it quits. I then had to wait even longer - with a throbbing arm to be told it's all good and i can go. I HATE ULTRASOUNDS! They suck arse! And hurt me no matter where they are put!

So, this morning i woke up as Joel's alarm went off, i was pretty much wide awake. I heard on the radio that Cat Haven were asking for donations of towels and pillow cases, food and such things. I remembered that i found some really old towels and stuff... so it was my mission today to give that to them, to help out some poor widdle kitty cats!!! Then Joel turns to me as he was waking up and asks "Can you drive me to work? I don't wanna drive!"  

"Oh, ok..."

So i get up, get Blade in his doggy harness and hop into the car to drive him all the way up to Bassendean. At 6 sum fin am.
So right now, I'm in so much pain and discomfort because all of today's events have caught up with me  

Oh well. I've donated a lot of towels, pillow cases and food to the Cat Haven! Please, i ask you people of Perth, to donate anything you can too them. If you're not a cat person, they have links on their page for dogs or other shelters!
Don't forget about your fury friends! I never could!! It's not fair that some animals get a loving family, and others just get kicked out the door because they were cute as kittens or Puppies and now they are older no one wants them.

My cat and dog live a very good life, my widdle pooch is spoilt with bones, cuddles, treats, kisses, baths, walks, play time, veterinary care and lots of toys. These animals go hungry, cold and have little day to day loving contact.
My puddy tat gets a big comfy bed to sleep on, plentiful food, cuddles and pets when he wants them. Those poor cats the shelter are locked up, with only just enough food to survive, and don't get to sleep next to someone who in a way depends on them for comfort.

Love and attention is so important for animals. Don't take your friends for granted, you'll never know how much you needed them until they're gone.
I tell mine that i love them every day! Do you!?

Well I'm outta here! I hurt too much!
