@criprights But sure, I'll pay for the same guy to do a FCAx because 2023 is too long ago.

I TOLD the LAC I needed help to apply.

I've lost so much and life can't be lived when I must use life for NDIS admin.

I despair of ever feeling safe and supported.

@criprights If it's this hard,
if service providers are so difficult to try because so many are not good and let us down,
and if I can see money being wasted putting money into the pockets of businesses, above what the cost should be,

Why aren't we worthy of trust and determining our lives?

@RexChapman @forbestonow Matt's the journalist behind the 2018 podcast Russia, If You're Listening. (And more - America, China, Australia.)

His new 5 part series America's Last Election is on YouTube.
With five days before the next episode can it even be written?

@SarahLongwell25 Australia's prime minister during his administration was an incompetent supplicant. His party was voted out, we have a better PM.

Without insight into our national security institutions I wonder...

Is the Five Eyes Alliance preparing to mitigate against further harm by him?

@nytopinion @paulkrugman I'm worse off today than I was yesterday when my iPad (mini 4) could run the NYT App.

I want to read, play, follow NYT content FAR more than I want to replace my iPad. @nytpolitics @NYTScience

What a strange financial but also news-consumer decision to present to subscribers.

@ChaneyforCurtin Dear Kate,

Life is hard.

It needn't be. Save NDIS funds - help should still come via Comcare.

I imagine relief, freed from hours of administration and work to get help.

I want to be free.

Get the help I need.

Work. Care. Contribute.

Have something of a life.

Kindly,
Robyn

@susie_dent I was very fond of a doctor who engaged me in discussions about the many levels of humour, typically linguistic and visual, in the early twentieth century series Futurama.

His name: Dr Bender
His specialty: Psychiatry

@collettell I'm glad for your ease with the left handed operation Collette.
It's nice to have a win once in a while.

@collettell I wish 21 year old me had developed fine motor skills in my left, non-dominant hand as the Occupational Therapist advised.
Even though my 'good' shoulder is my right.
Now 'good' joints are in the minority.
And my wrists are making me pay for my knee surgeries & elbow crutches.

Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy. So let's talk about some of the reasons why it's great.

@freocookster The parking there! You'd think they might set aside some bays for people attending the imaging centre and the nuclear medicine centre in the same building.

John, I worry walking home might displace some of the cortisone from the injected site.

[[email protected] (any pronoun) @RobnWithAWhy]

@taylor_nj @freocookster Alas, the meanies don't cater to the viewing desires of patients when the injection is done using CT guidance. Surely this is where Google Glass can come into their own!
But yes, ultrasound watching! Also because I can't make much sense of the image so it's not ick at all.

@freocookster @mrsmith1970 Oh that sucks, John. It's the first year I've had those symptoms from my spine problems and it's... more disabling than back pain?

I tried capsaican creams years ago but I don't think I had neuropathic pain (doctors are weird) and it was unpleasant. Now? I have to at least try.
