The Concept 2 is very well regarded online, it seems.
At that 1-2k pricepoint, you can get a really nice machine.
I decided to splurge a little over my budget, as i wanted something that i would want to use everyday, and have the ability to choose between a number of Apps via the Bluetooth module connected to the monitor.
After being able to trial a WaterRower (actual brand name) unit in a Showroom, i was sold.
Dual rails, solid as, whisper quiet (except for the sound of water whooshing during the working phase), and actually a beautiful looking piece of furniture.
Heffsgirl speaks for me. I tried to reply about 5 times and didnāt know what to say. Timely reminder for everyone coming into summer after not seeing sun for years!!
A confronting, yet pertinent post rob. Hope your recovery is going well and you kick ā ā ā for many more years.
Also, just wondering if you had any pics of the red mark on your chest that was also BCC? I am always paranoid for marks on my body which seem out of place.
I didnāt take a pic but it looked similar to this
It was about 2cm wide & 1.5xm top to bottom. It would ebb and flow from pink to angry red with a small amount of bleeding, although this was infrequent.
You can get them treated without surgery, however as I was going under the knife the surgeon said he would do it at the same time as the melanoma.
From what I have been informed BCCās do not result in melanoma but can continue to grow in size if not addressed.
As I say to anyone whos asks about what happened to my head I advise them if in doubt, get a referral and get it checkedā¦
Not sure if itās the right thread, but whatās the go with GPs and bill billing these days? SIA Essendon saying Iāll be out of pocket $50 for a consult?
usually with SIA Essendon, if you rock up and just get the next available doctor, itās bulk billed. If you make an appointment itās about $90, and you get about $40 back from Medicare.
thatās how it used to be anyway!
EDIT - hereās their fee schedule. Bulk billed Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm for next available doc
Yeah thatās exactly how it is at the moment. I thought it was just completely bulk billed and youāre not out of pocket for it even if you book in advance. Been a while since I visited that centre though, so it may have been like that for a while!
A lot of places are (unfortunately) doing away with bulk billing.
Which is kind of stupid given all the issues atm with overcrowding in public hospital EDās.
Aloe Vera plant. Anyone that spends anytime in the kitchen ā¦ indoor or outdoor, should have one. If you apply immediately after the burn it takes away the pain, as you feel the pain returning apply again, and keep on until it stops hurting. Virtually eliminates scarring also.
Medicare has needed (another) overhaul for a while unfortunately.
All well and good for hospital reps to stand in front of a camera and tell people to go to their doctor instead, but when the hospital has no out of pocket cost and the GP does itās a no brained for a lot of families.
How is everyone tracking health wise. Itās a difficult time of the year sticking to new eating and fitness plans.
So far so good for me. Although my work colleagues gave me the ā ā ā ā ā gifting chocolates when i specifically told them not to. I guess its an easy gift option.
Iām not calorie counting while in Australia but not getting carried away with foods. I think my appetite has definitely changed, Iām not craving junk foods etc.
I had tonsillitis right before we left Singapore so my trainer wants me to focus on rest and not going backwards.
Wishing everyone all the best, some great achievements this year from you and sound advice.
Iām hoping a cool change comes through soon as this heat has killed my sleep the past few nights.
Reckon Iām tracking a 3-4 broken hours a night tops.
I was cycling a bit pre christmas (200km week) but picked up bronchitis over christmas period so have done nothing last few days probably worse than when i had covid. on antibiotics now though so on the mend but a few days off the bike.
Weight get has hovered around 75kg, which iām happy enough with at the moment. See specialist next week about whether need surgery for hip labral tear etc.
+1 for broken sleep last 3 nights canāt sleep at like 2-3 am and coughing fits and have got up had a cup of tea and watched - Starship trooper night 1
Captain America night 2 And Star Wars Ove Wan Kenobi about 4 episodes night 3.
last night wasnāt too bad got up at 2 had a cup of tea then went back to bed and slept right through to 7:30
