The HAPS!!

So whats happening!!
My back...
While the last lot of injections worked I still have pain-isolated to one area now, but it is still there. I need to have more cortisone injections in this area-part of me really wants them and the other is so not wanting the pain of having them done!! Get this I saw my specialist yesterday, waited for nearly an hour (despite being only his 2nd appointment for the day) and saw him for 10mins. Then it cost me $50 more than it usually does and I asked the girls on the front desk why. They were like "that's the number he wrote". I said "Yes I get that but can you tell me what the difference between a 36 (which he wrote) and what I normally pay. What makes them different consultations?"-They had no CLUE!!! Annoying!! As far as the insurance goes I begrudgingly took their offer, as there is no definitive diagnosis therefore it makes it very hard to dispute in court. And after 8 months of this I simply do not have the strength to fight it. So they will pay for a certain number or GP and Physio visits until the end of the year and they will review each and every specialist bill to determine if it is necessary!! I'm just praying God will heal me fully and I don't need them or this stress anymore. Maybe its Gods way of pushing me just that little bit further (if I go any further I'll be off the cliff) saying "have faith, I'll heal you!!"

Work...
Work are paying for me to do certificate IV in assessment and training, so that I can do education type roles at work rather than heavy ward work. Which is great. The course is a little dry but I definitely think it will beneficial to have!! I'm actually missing my second class today because I have tonsillitis!! Courtesy of Krystal!! Who was so sick with it last week-poor baby!! I have been pretty unwell too but its worse for little ones!!

The kids....
Tiff is turning 9 this week!! I cant believe my little bubby is turning 9!! She is so big!! We are going to LaPa's cos thats where the youth hang out every Friday and Sunday and so I think she thinks its a cool hang out!! ;-) Krys was sick but ok now, so cheeky and growing up more and more each day!! I wonder where my little baby has gone!!

Youth...
Youth is going great!! Getting over 100 kids every week!! Praise God. And there are some challenges cos they are a younger group and they are an unchurched group. But they are growing and developing into who God wants them to be and its such an honour to be a part of!! We have our Empower Conference coming up and I cant wait!!

Uni...
Not as far along as I'd hoped pre placement!! But I'll survive!! I put my preference in for placement. Hopefully I will get to work in a refugee agency. I wanted some others but they were all up in the city. So weighed up the stress of placement with travelling 3 hours (at least) each day and just decided that I was better off getting something in the area I wanted and then not having added stress!! Hopefully I will start placement in a couple weeks!!

Other Stuff...
We have a woman's conference this weekend. I'm hoping I ok to go. I might just come and go. I really don't want to miss it!! I cant sing anyway so maybe if I just miss all the singing time!! :-)
