wow, it scares me to think of all those people being decline health insurance for little excuses from the insurance companies. I can't believe that the insurance companies would decline people health care and they "the insurance companies" get richer each day.

I did cry watching that movie. it seems Canada, France (and here in New Zealand) have govt funded medical care. Those 9-11 volunteers turned away, or lost everything because of there health care insurance company. They had to leave the American land to go to Cuba to get the medical treatment they have been waiting for 5 years for. An inhaler is $125 usa and in Cuba it is 5c WOW - i'm shocked!

I couldn’t get over the fact that hospital staff would put people into taxis and push them out of the car, and leave them close to a free clinic (wondering around, some with iv drips in their hands still) because they found out they had no money to pay for the medical treatment they have received in hospital.

It makes me think twice about coming to America, would i be treated the same, (of cause i would have travel insurance) but man to think about all those people, their lives, their jobs gone.

Something is truly wrong with the medical system in America, well that’s what i think anyways!

And just listening to my music on my home page!

had a stressful week. lets just say, i don’t really take well to dishonest people!

I have 5 days left until i have surgery. This Saturday will buy the last few things that I will need for staying in hospital. Will be there for up to 7 days. (fingers cross i wont be there any longer). I will be admitted on Tuesday; my sister from down south will be coming up and taking me to hospital as my mother can not take any more days off work, as my dad will be having surgery himself and she has asked to have that day off.

was sitting down at the dinner table with my sister and my mother says, is everything in order, do you have any thing to worry about if you die. (wow shock, no faith there) but she is right, I did have everything planned just in case anything did happen to me will in surgery. Told her, ye I have bills, but will be swiped if i do pass away, have insurance on payments etc... She knows that if i do pass, i want everyone to wear WHITE... I have my reasons!  Anyway, nothing major to worry about; everyone has been advised i am going into hospital. I also told my mother, mom nothings going to go wrong, i have faith in my surgeon doctor, he has done this many times before; he will do a fantastic job, and i will do my best to recover.  in the last week I’ve lost 6 kg's. Shocked myself even. WOW

I like coming here and just listening, mellowing out. 

my life is going to change big time. and i do have my concerns about different things, but i guess i will try and face them and over come them just like i have with my other trials in my life. I know I will feel less pain each day, just over the last week with loosing 6kg's I’m feeling less pain! fantastic, just what i wanted, and i have more energy! i only feel low if i am in pain.

Oh, its been so long! sorry to go on about it; its a big (another) opperation I’m facing at the mo. that’s all i can see at the mo. I’m happy I’m having this surgery!

Life is only going to get better... yay, i know my Heavenly Father has much in stored for me and i must be ready to accept the calling in my life when it is presented to me!

Not long now... 14 days until the big day... I’m excited at the same time nervous... I’ve had surgery before so its nothing new to me.

I think this year for our family it is going to bring alot of new changes. My sis and her hubby selling up to go to the states.

*N (another sister of mine) is going to LA a day before my surgery, she going for two weeks with her boyfriend to a Hollywood file convention. Lucky her!

My other sis *A is still having a little trouble in getting all the papers signed for her course in the city.

And little old me has been cleaning out my draws and cupboards (slowly) giving them a good clean and relining them. I'm throwing out all the things i have not used in the last 12 months. I'll need room for all my new stuff, clothes, shoes, etc ....  I will need to get rid of all my clothes too. Going through my stuff, brings back memories, stages in my life. fah out, i've come a long way from when i was young. A very long and painful journey.

My mom's the best. she works so hard. there are times i wish i could help her, but i can not. an amazing women that never gives up, always keepin her self busy, always helping others out! She has been a great help in my life. (it took me a very long time to ask my mother for help, i've been very use to doing things myself, looking after myself, doing everything for me; its only been the last few years that i've had to allow my mother to help me). 

I get the feeling that this is the year that everyone will slowly make their own tracks outside of home. they are all planning to get more education, increase there knowledge in their feild of work. i'm so happy for them, i love seeing them suceed in all that they do that is good.

well, i'm bored as you can tell (haha) 2 weeks of optifast powder drink then surgery. i keep reminding myself, this pain will be of a short time, and will pass. each day i get closer to have more than a day without pain and taking pain relief.

I am so thankful for what i have in my life, i have been blessed so much. but my journey is not yet over, i have much to do, i feel it in my heart! I know what i need to do!

I'm so excited!

PS: Happy Valentine's day

whoa the chapel was packed out. I arrived 15 minutes early to get a good parking, as lately our car park always get packed really quickly. Walking in the back door, checking myself in the mirror (like i normally do before settling in the scarcement room) making sure everything looks presentable. I got a shock of my life when the 1/4 half of the back rows were taken by people already seated for our sacrament to begin. Allot of brown faces & they looked really good, quietly sitting and waiting.

Gee's in our ward we've been asked to sit at the end of the meeting so we keep the reverence within our Sunday meetings... we have a lot of young children in our ward and its very hard for them to sit in the sacrament meeting staying quiet. Not only that the olds like to catch up with each other weekly and so the classes start late.

As usual its been hot (summer time for us) its nice, but i find i can't sit for the 3 hours.

It was fast and testimony bearing today, you could tell many people wanted to share their testimony, even i did, but because there was so MANY people in the chapel today i panicked and didn’t share it :( the time went really fast.

Each day it gets closer to my big day.... i get asked if i am i nervous... yes, anyone would, but i'm very happy too. alot of good will be come from having this surgery, and help me out! i can't wait! its been so long....

Anyways, not much to report, and i have a few things on line to check... catch you up later Mr Bloggy (haha)

fah out, its been really hot today! I do like summer days, but not HOT HOT days like today!

27 days until the big day... scary stuff. But, i can't wait for the change....
I'm kinda jealous of my sister at the mo, she' signed up with her mate to a Tourism course, both would do really well as a Air Hostess. They will be either catching the bus to Gulf Harbour (or driving and leaving their car in a safe secure place) then taking the boat to Auckland city, what a great way to beat the traffic! Their course is in Auckland city. They start 2 days before surgery. So i'm hoping they will be settled and have a great start to their new course. (I dont think *A likes her current job and is looking for other options, she hears me of my travel plans in the future, but i reakon she will do really well and see the world at the same time). She's young and her options is open to her at the mo!

Anyways, i think i will call it a night.... not the best tonight! so an early night tonight for me!

Receiving the news of President Gordon B Hinckley from my sister, I did a search for lds website. I came across this website. I wanted to join as its a website for Lds members to mingle and gain friendships around the world.

It is very sad news to hear of the passing of our prophet.

While the news was blasting away on TV about Heath Ledger I started crying. 1st time in doing so, I was crying because of the loss of a great prophet but also for the many people who knew of Heath Ledger and not knowing the great plan of salvation! Thats when I had a thought, if only they knew, and know that everything will be ok, and that part of our life here on earth is to gain an experince; part of that experince is death. Yes, it is very sad how Heath Ledger died, but we don't stop there in our tracks of our plan of salvation!

On a lighter note:  .....

I'd love to travel someday, love to go to Utah and see my sister. I love to visit all the temples and site see around Utah. I've dreamt that along time now. I know I will get there, I know I am meant to be part of a great family waiting for me to arrive!

I can't wait! 2008 is the year of change and new beginnings, to fitful many of my dreams and see them come true!
