ebay success story

Well the auctions for my first 4 items have been completed and all 4 books sold. Some for much more than I expected. Now I will see how the payments progress and finally how much ebay will charge. I have bought satchels for easy posting. Have another 4 books listed and tomorrow will try some other things.

Today I did some housework, went out with Mum. She had to have an ultrasound of the heart. Results won't be known until end of the month when she visits her specialist. It was quite a long process. Mum was in there for 45 minutes.

I bumped into one of Dad's doctors who told me that verbally he had heard it confirmed that Dad was suffering from MSA not Parkinsons. MSA stands for Multiple System Atrophy and it is also known as Shy Drager. It is a rare disease that not much is known about as yet. They don't believe it is passed on in our genes but think more that it is environmentally caused. Once the final results are printed out this doctor will call me and go through them. There is quite a bit of information on MSA on the internet. The one thing that stands out is that even though some of the symptoms are similar to Parkinsons, this disease progresses much more rapidly and causes all those other symptoms Dad was suffering from: noisy breathing (called stridor) and the muscle wasting in the legs (muscular atrophy) and also the fainting when his bloodpressure became very low on standing.

Was very tired today so tomorrow is a sleeping day. Will stay home and rest as much as possible.

Exercise: hate to say it but zilch.
