Gout Recovery...


...is getting there. After watching X-Men III on Friday night, the right foot was feeling rather painful, and by the middle of Friday night, it was throbbing with pain. Luckily I had medicine from UK with me, so took those straight-away and (to my wife's annoyance) kept my foot up for most of the weekend and resting it as much as possible. The resting of the foot certainly helped as well as the medication. I went to the doctors yesterday to see a specialist, and she required me to have a blood test to check for levels of uric acid (as well as other stuff too) just to make sure the kidneys livers are in working order. Fingers-crossed!
This morning the swelling has gone down considerably and I can put a little more weight on the foot so walking would now be possible. Hopefully I should be fine for walking tomorrow if I get another day's foot rest.
On X-men III, I recommend you to go and see it. As usual it has all the great special effects and snidey jokes from Logan which keeps the audience tickled.

Happy 2nd Birthday Amelie!

Another step up the age ladder for my daughter Amelie (populary known as Tongtong too). Time certainly has flown, and with each day, it doesn't get any easier! She's started to form her own opinions and learning to express them in various different ways. She's a clever little one, but still lacks a certain amount of discipline. That's probably going to come from me, because Chien-yu is a little soft. I just hope she knows it for own good when I give her the smack-botty when she steps out of line. Last night we sang her the birthday song just before we slept (its was about 1am already). After a couple of choruses, she picked it up quickly and sang her own birthday song! Well, almost anyway, because sounded like "Hapi tu tu tu you". More practise for next year! I will add photos later on this evening.

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.
