Friday fun?!?

Add caption

Me Last year on my Birthday (21 November).

I prefer Twitter to Face Book but it is a bit confusing to understand, until you have figured it out.

It is months, since I last cooked anything from my Masterclass recipe book! So I am giving it another go tonight. They are all tasty (the recipes) in this book(apart from the bread recipes) but very involved.

Hi all! How is your final Friday for August 2012? (I typed July just now by mistake, 'cause I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by!)

The Power of ten, if you are reading my blog posts for today please tell ten people you know about my blogs and if they tell 10 more peeps, and on and on we go, where it stops is up to you! My blogs will get more followers! A good thing? A big thanks to anyone who does this!! MY BLOGS - heroawards1.blogspot.com

Prince Harry has been ordered back to Britain after his strip poker fun in Las Vegas. Who was the nasty "friend" who took the photo of him?

There was quite a sad news item on 5fm's news, when I was listening to it while eating my lunch yesterday. They found a stowaway on a flight from CPT (Cape Town Airport) to LHR (London Heathrow Airport) the other day. He was unfortunately found dead when the plane arrived in London. It is very tragic to think of the ways people try to escape their current life and make a better life for themselves somewhere else in the world. I guess he was in the wheel bay? He had scaled the fence at the airport which is near to an informal housing area.

Unfortunately this is the bit where I say, "It been fun but Right now we gotta go!"

Signing off from blogging for this Friday. Have a superb day further folks!

Ciao

My story

My Afrikaans teacher, who was Miss Liebenberg when I was at St. John's College, in the late 90's (1994-end of 1996) and other people I know, have in the past, asked me why I don't have my full story on my blog, as my story is one that would help inspire others facing a similar situation.

So here we go folks- In December 1996 I started getting blinding headaches and became very photo phobic, my pupils were hugely dilated. I never really got headaches before then. We were on holiday at the Sugar Beach Hotel, in Mauritius, when my life changed forever. On our return my situation just kept getting worse and I went temporarily blind from the pressure behind my eyes my tumour caused. Christmas 1996 was absolutely nightmarish for me. I did not know what was going on with my body - I thought I was facing my last days here on earth.

On 15 January 1997 (I can never forget this date), the day school started for that year, I was in Hospital having Brain Surgery to try and remove my tumour. Thank God it was too firmly routed to my brain stem for this to be done. According to my Neuro Surgeon (who will remain Anon.) he tried everything to remove it but it was not possible - I haemoraged and he panicked. Had they been able to get it out my left side would have become my right side in my minds thinking. I distinctively remember waking up from surgery in the operating theatre and puking into my oxygen mask. I lost my speech for several months, my ability to walk (to this day I limp as my left leg is not in sync with the right side of my body), I could not use the toilet for months and was in agony as neither end (a bit graphic) but what the worked as my brain was not correctly sending the signal to my netherlands- so I could not get rid of my body's waste. It was a long and crap year 1997 and trying to survive. I was on a tv programme on SABC1 (I believe, you believe?) in June 1997 and a month later, my mom, dad and me went to Australia. OZ (We flew to Perth on SAA) is a nine hour flight from Johannesburg and a twelve (12) hour flight back to Johannesburg? Strong head winds on the return flight. (one of life's odd stats.?) On our return I started getting rapidly worse again. The Oncology doctor gave me a diagnosis of three weeks to live in December 1997 as there was nothing more he could do for me. - I gave my oncology Doctor Martin Chassen a hug - he started crying. Well I guess only God knows how long you will be around?

I turn 38 on 21 November of this year (2018), I have not seen a doctor for years, I do not take any medication, but only vitamins and I am still here! I have tremendous faith in God. I believe all religions are equal, in the way that the basis of all religions is of a higher power, a god, the way you choose to practice your faith is up to you. I am a Catholic Christian and know 100% that I would not have survived what I did without God, Strangers awesome healing prayers (they prayed for me in churches, mosques and Synagogues my family's parish Priest Father Leithem sent a petition to our Lady of Medjugorje in Croatia and used to bring me aloe vera mixed with Grapa that a parishoner used to make for me. A boy from St. John's College, Anthony Spanjaard, told me about these vitamins his mom sold. I took them in a large dosis (16) a day at first to boost my immune system. I prayed like mad and voila.

This I have no answer for and for many years I felt guilty - why did I survive my cancer and many other people do not. Go figure?
