Hi all,
Just a quick note to say how it all is right now.
I was due back to hospital for a shunt revision on Wednesday (oh that is today....where did my day go yesterday????).This now scheduled for Monday next week.That is if the actual valve arrives.The one they are fitting is a special one made to go into an L-P shunt.The ones that they usually use are to be placed vertically and so is unsuitable for this situation.It will sit horizontally and hopefully regulate drainage just that much better than has been happening.
To say I am anxious is an understatement.
Ok so now that I can see that light at the end of the tunnel I am now preparing to go back to Bangkok and to my regular life.It has been such a great time here that I am hoping to make it back next year after a trip to Australia for my youngest daughters wedding.
In preparation for my going home I am working on selling some of my stock.Marjorie has been a great help here as well.I could not have done this without her support. I need to sell as much of it as I am able because I really dont want to take it home.The import tax on taking my own items back is more than 30%.A nasty hit.
Todays auction pieces are here now and I was supposed to do these on Sunday.I wish my head would let me do what I need to do.Soon soon soon.
And so on that note I will close.
Please email Miss M with your bids at these contact addresses

Update Friday, September 10th

I have talked to Tanya (Aardvark Silver) this morning. She is very Tired and in much Pain but she is Positive and Trusts her doctors. She Managed to Restore some Trust between the doctor and her and had a Good talk with him.

She will not be going into Surgery today because they decided they needed a Special Pressure Valve for her Shunt, but that had to be Ordered. They expect the Valve to be there on Monday or Tuesday, so Surgery will probably be Wednesday.

To Help her Cope with the Awful Headache, they are sending her to the Pain Clinic in Hope she gets some Relieve. The doctor wants to Hold off on a Puncture, to not to Interrupt the Valve's workings when installed next week. After Puncture Fluids take up to 7-10 days to return to 'Normal'. He says over and under Pressure symptoms are alike and if Head is Bearable: please Hold on.

Meanwhile, Staff is Wonderful to her and she actually Enjoys the Silence and Peace of being Alone (well as Alone as you get in a Hospital lol). Please send her some Love, Hugs, Light, Prayers, Energy and all I Forgot to Mention? Thanx so Much! ♥

Also have a Look at the Aardvark Silver Jewelry Auctions Post on this Blog? Auctions run for 5 days and there's a Buy it Now price on them, for if you can't wait that Long. ;) I will be Posting new Jewelry by Tanya every Day.

Will keep you Updated on Tanya when I have News and the Auctions. Wonderful Friday to you All! ♥ =D) Mx

Tan is Back in Hospital... Solutions tomorrow?

Hi All! No sorry, not Tanya here, but Marjorie ( from M-ixes, aka Mx). At the Moment Tanya is in the Hospital with a very Unhappy head and she will not Able to get online (much) for the coming days.

Tan has a Monster of a Headache and she's getting Painkillers for that. They are holding off on the Lumbar Puncture until tomorrow. They're getting Tanya back in Theater and do some Looking at/Revising (Valve) of the Shunt. They said the Shunt Works, but the Pain level indicates it's not Working very Well. If things don't Improve after the Surgery, they will do the Lumbar Puncture. Hopefully more Concrete Answers tomorrow. I will keep you Posted.

Tanya asked me to Update the Blog and Organize an Auction-Sale since Funds are Low and Medical Insurance (for Europe) and Rent in Thailand still have to be Paid, so I (we) Hope you Like to Play with us. =) The Plan: I will post pics of Jewelry from Tan-Aardvark Silver here on the Blog for a Starting price and a Buy it Now price. I will Try to post 3 pieces every day for the coming week (don't Shoot me if I don't make the Target ;). When you see something you Like, you can place a Bid or Buy it Now. This is a little Taste of Things to Come. =)

Hospital....Good News BUT......

The view from my hospital bed.Lovely surroundings and very peaceful in the grounds.Very conducive to healing.


Ok so I went and had surgery.Wasn't that a fun time?????
I spent 11 days in hospital and was treated very well.The nursing staff and the Drs were lovely.Mostly..... I was sent home on 27th August by a lovely Senior Consulting Specialist who's parting words were... "I know better than you do about the headache you have and so go home and wait until I want to see you again" Arrogant man.
Anyway the good news is that the shunt seems to be working in some way.The BUT.... is that it hasnt resolved the head problem and if anything my headaches are worse than before.I am taking pain meds that are not the best to be using and still dont get much relief.Takes the edges off and that is about it.
So the next step is to go back tomorrow and I am due to have the shunt revised.They will put in a valve that hopefully will control the level of drainage better than is happening currently.Then maybe I can have my head back normally and can function.It is so exciting to be so close but is still disheartening and I will do what I need to to finish this process.
So close so close.

And so the next thing is to say Thank You to all.I am going to have to have a huge sale and a giveaway.We are also going to have some auctions ongoing in the next few weeks so that I can get myself back home to Bangkok and back to my regular life.It has been kind of surreal to be here.
I will sort the details in the next short while.I know with Xmas coming, supplies will be needed for those sales.Its great that I am able to help out there if I am allowed.
Ok now off to lie down again.Got to turn the pain in my head down a lot.
Any suggestions to help that are welcome.I am happy to at least try and see.
Thanks again and talk soon

Light and Love to all

The Netherlands

Traditional Flat lands and cows.Windmills and beaches. Come to rainy Netherlands.We have it all here.
I came here late last week to mentally prepare for next weeks operation.I know that the whole surgical thing of having a shunt put in should be something I am used to by now after having had 4 previous operations I was a lot scared so I have come to stay with my friend here.
Miss M is such a calming healing influence and has such love and care and I am being looked after like I could never have dreamed.Thank you Miss M.
It has been lovely to see rain like there is here.It is so very different to Bangkok and apart from being cold I think I like this cold summer a lot.The great company has helped.
The cows are awesome to watch.We took the lovely Miss Crimson (beautiful dog who is part Shepard, part something else ) out for a walk and I was like a little girl marvelling over cows and sheep.I guess the fresh air and scenery change has kind of addled my brain but then it was confused before anyway.All good.
So I didnt actually sit on the beach but I did get to see the North Sea and to smell the salty air.Reminded me of childhood as I grew up near some beautiful beaches in Sydney.
I go back to Germany late Sunday to face the next step in my journey.I am not sure I am really looking forward to it because the Drs can give no guarantees of success but I am going to do this because there are few choices right now.If it doesnt have a successful outcome I am back to Bangkok to prepare to come back to Europe next year and try again.
Please also note....for those of you who are after supplies.... I do have some with me and I am able to ship out easily from here.Apparently it is even faster for delivery than from Bangkok so please email me if you need a whole sale lot so I can send you a price.I really dont wnat to take anything home if I can avoid it.

Thank you all for your continued support.I will keep you posted as I am able.
Light and Love to all

Germany

I made it.Yes I have been here nearly 3 weeks already and wow how time has flown.I am thinking I may need to stay a month longer.

So what have I been doing?

Well after sleeping off a week of jet lag and adjusting my head to new surroundings I managed to sit and make the Lovely Lady of the house a birthday present.This set is one of the first pieces I have attempted since the beginning of the year.Yes she was thrilled with it and it looks so so lovely on.

I have been to sit in the forest, hence the tree photos and the waterfall and I have had a chance to take a short stroll in the village where I am staying.Yes people really do live in the picture postcard houses and the vines really have grapes for wine.After all this is wine country.
Apart from all that exciting stuff there has been the daily tasks of just plain old living and the logistics of working around four young people as well as normal daily life of a family.Very different to what I have back in Bangkok that is for sure.

The Drs are lovely here and we have seen 4 now.Different specialists and had new opinions put forward as far as diagnosis but as yet nothing concrete as I have to have more tests in the next few weeks.I am going home well.I came here to do this and I am determined.If I cannot be made well then I will go back and do as I can.NO more after this.It is a final stop.

I brought stock with me so if you need supplies I may be able to help there.Let me know.I will update all my sites in the next day or so.It took me until yesterday to finish the stock take with the help of my friends here both adult and child,It was a fun time.

I am so buoyed up by all the Love Care and Support from everyone and thank you all for being there.I will make more of an effort to share this journey as it unfolds.It has been a challenge so far.

Light and Love to all
Tanya
