Anti-nuclear antibodies

Mia has been suffering from some very noticable hair loss over the last 3 weeks.

Our GP and Dermatologist ordered blood tests after nothing obvious was noted to be causing her hair loss, infection, tinea and alopecia were all ruled out.

She returned a positive on her Anti-nuclear antibodies and a positive for Lupus.

We are facing a barrage of tests in the coming weeks as she also has protein present in her urine.

I have had a week to digest this information, but still feel a little overwhelmed as I have more questions than can be given answers.

There is so much we don't know.

Glass Shelf

This glass shelf you can see above the sink, yeh, that tiny little glass shelf pictured below.
It took me an hour and a half to hang that shelf.

Only 4 screws (note to self, check where power point is on other side of wall), so the third screw I put in decides to touch, just a tickle mind you the electrical wires running behind the wall. So the result, the elcb kicks in and we lose all power. Anyway, after some damn fine electrical work and a fair bit of electrical tape, we have power restored and a spiffy glass shelf above the $20 sink.

I am still in awe of my chandelier.

The end is in site, a new spout, some plastering and finally painting.
