Remember me?
Remember me & my photos?
I disappeared from the beginning of November but am now about 50% back to normal and hope to get out taking photos again. Where did I disappear to? Well, I was in intense pain and the cause of the pain was totally mis-diagnosed by a doctor. The result? I spent a month with very little sleep, little food and could not lie down to rest or sleep. I lost 12 kilograms. Then came the rescue. On arriving at Palmerston North hospital the real cause of my problem was diagnosed within an hour. I then spent 8 days being treated by the respiratory specialists for an infection in my lungs . They have my deep gratitude and admiration for their speedy diagnosis, treatment and long-term support. I won’t mention what I think about the doctor who told me I had torn a muscle in my back, just that as a result of his diagnosis the infection had a free month to enjoy unrestricted growth in my lungs.

Ask your questions about renting rights THIS WEDNESDAY!
We are continuing our Q&A sessions on Neighbourly with the amazing, Sacha Green, from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CABNZ) who'll be talking about renting rights. We invite you to share a question for her then!
A little bit about Sacha:
She has been working for CABNZ for 10 years and is passionate about empowering people with knowledge of their rights as well as ensuring access to justice.
She helps support the team of over 2,000 trained volunteers who deliver the CAB service in 80 neighbourhoods around Aotearoa by providing advice and support at a national level on a wide range of issues. One of Sacha’s work areas is leading the CAB’s social justice work on housing and tenancy issues.
Whether you're a flatmate, landlord, boarder or flatmate you'll be able to leave a comment below on Wednesday and Sacha will answer your questions. You may want to ask about notice periods, bond fulfillment, reasonable rent increases, or even whose responsibility it is to deal with mould in the home.
Join Sacha here on Wednesday at 9.30am. See you then!.
