#Sydney Eye Care Clinic

[kommandonuovidiavoli]

How did you and Charlie get married? What was life like when you were expecting Wally?

" We got married in January-- Summer time down in 'straya, it was so nice. I proposed a year before in front of my mother and she said yes immediately 🩵! The idea was to do it in December, close to my birthday, but it was too close to Christmas, so we decided to wait for all Holidays to be over so it would be just about 🩵us🩵!

We had a ceremony in a little chapel right out of Sydney, then we moved to a rustic building for the reception! All our friends were there, Ray too and of course, my mom! Charlie's family didn't show up, but we kind of expected it; she had broken contacts with them after what happened with Irwin. But her mother did send us a little gift 🩵. Even Irwin was there, even if... let's be real, he probably did it only for Charlie. Not for us or me.

All in all, it was a terrific day I will never forget! 🩵🩵🩵

As for Wally...

" It was a bit stressing, not gonna lie.

We wanted a kid really bad but we found out that... well, I couldn't do it. So we spent months trying, even going in special clinics to make it happen, but nothing seemed to work. Until the very last try.

We were instructed to keep Charlie resting for at least the first four months. We moved back to my mom's place and she helped Charlie around while I was working. Luckly the baby survived, but we were still on the edge, so she kept resting as much as she could. She was almost always inside. Mom would sometimes go out with her and keep a close eye on her, and we slowly went on.

We immediately understood that baby was a fighter! He kept kicking and moving around, as to tell us that yes, he was alive and he was strong! So, imagine our surprise when, almost a month before, we had to rush to the hospital because Charlie's water broke unexpectedly.

And there the real challenge started: nothing was going as it should've! Wally wasn't in position, Charlie wasn't ready, the doctors weren't sure what to do but the baby HAD to come out!

It took 7 hours but finally he was out, and they had to put him in a special incubator because he was premature. We couldn't even touch him for the first week, because they needed to be sure he was ok. But you could tell he was gonna be a challenge.

You see, those incubators for premature babies had holes on the sides so nurses could take care of the baby without taking him out.

Wally always put his little legs in there, giving nurses a hard time changing or feeding him!

Later we found out that he KICKED his way out of Charlie, ripping the membrane, and that's when we decided to name him Wallabee.

Our little kicker 🩵 "

Ai-less Whumptober Day Two

None of it was Accidental (story pt. 1)

Overworked / Insomnia / Exhaustion

Cw: kidnapping, referenced murder, mentions of killing

Sydney’s back ached. A deep pain rooted in the base of their spine, twisting branches up their back and down towards their hips. It had been a long fucking day—the clinic was swamped with all of the typical early fall flu cases who didn’t know they could save both time and money getting their goddamn cough medication from a pharmacy rather than taking up a seat at their work. Usually Sydney didn’t mind, they got paid the same whether they were taking care of an allergy case or a mechanic who got his hand jammed in the engine of a car and was too stubborn to go to the hospital. They just wanted to go home, eat whatever dinner Cameron promised they’d make for their turn, and go to bed. For the last hour, all they could imagine was how nice it would feel to take a long, hot shower.

Then just as they were about to check out, as they were changing out of their scrub top and into their regular clothes, they got a text. That goddamn text that lit up their phone screen, buzzing in the pocket of their pants. The text thats words were already presented on the screen when they tapped the notification and used their thumb in place of a passcode.

That stupid text, not even a full sentence, like a pebble tossed into a silent pond. The small stone breaking the fragile surface, sending the calm water rippling out in uneven waves. Sending any idea of their slow evening shattering like a pane of glass.

Need u get home quck

Of course, that had sent an instant spear of panic piercing through their chest, cold bleeding down to their stomach. Naturally, their phone was dialing before they pulled their shirt over their head, they were out the door before their bag was fully slung over their shoulder. They didn’t even change out of their scrub pants, almost running across the parking lot as they cursed themself for parking so far away.

By the time Cameron answered, they were already peeling out of the parking lot, laying a palm on the horn when the car in front of them stopped without reason.

“Cameron,” their eyes shifted off the road, fumbling for a moment as they turned their phone to speaker. “Are you okay? What happened?” Voice frantic and disorganized as they cursed at the car and fought to pull their seatbelt across their chest.

“Yeah- yeah I’m alright,” Cameron answered quickly, sounding almost convincing if not for the slight shake in their voice, which only increased Sydney’s worry tenfold.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Sydney repeated, their foot pressing down on the gas as the light ahead of them turned yellow.

“I can’t tell you, not on the phone,” Cameron’s voice sounded tight, studded with a thick emotion Sydney had only heard maybe a dozen times in the years they’d been together. It sent a ball of fear, heavy as led plunking in the pit of their stomach. “Don’t- don’t crash or anything, just get home soon, okay?”

“Cameron, you’re scaring me,” Sydney took a sharp left, the force sending their backpack falling off the passenger seat where they’d tossed it. “Just please tell me, what’s going on?”

“I can’t tell you,” Cameron repeated, their voice a little more firm. “Only in person. Please, just… trust me. I’m alright, okay? Don’t worry. I’m fine.”

Sydney was about to protest more, but their conversation was cut short with a few sharp beeps of the dial tone, before their screen lit up with the call receipt.

They cursed, fingers tightening around the steering wheel until their knuckles went pale. Don’t worry. That’s like, the most worry-inducing sentence ever. Cameron had never been hesitant to tell them anything, on the phone, in person, text—they’d whisper their thoughts in Sydney’s ear in the middle of a silent movie theater if they had something they felt they needed to say. This was not just out of character, it was concerning. More than concerning.

Driving home, Sydney turned a half hour ride into eighteen minutes. They ran almost-red lights, rolled through stop signs and passed cars whenever they got the chance, praying there wasn’t a cop nearby.

Cameron was waiting in front of the garage for them, arms crossed looking just as nervous as they had sounded on the phone.

“Cameron,” Sydney called, throwing open the car door before they’d even unbuckled their seat belt. “What’s going on-“

Cameron met them just outside the door, either of their hands coming up to cup the sides of Sydney’s face. They were strangely warm.

“I’m alright,” Cameron promised, pressing their lips to a spot on Sydney’s forehead. It might have been convincing. Their hands were shaking. “I just need you to listen, okay? I need you to listen and not freak out or panic, okay?”

“Cameron, you’re scaring me,” Sydney took a cautious step back, slowly pulling out of Cameron’s grip. “Tell me, what’s happening?”

Cameron took a deep breath, tearing their hand back through their hair. It was just then Sydney noticed their clothes, still dressed for work in a once ironed collared shirt and pants that were now wrinkled. The first thing they did when they got home from work was change.

“I- you… you remember what happened last month?”

Sydney’s heart sank. Of course they remembered. How could they forget.

How could they ever forget the blood, the fear. The guilt that almost tore them to pieces.

Cameron recognized the memory in their eyes, lips pressing together in sympathy. They didn’t move closer.

“There was someone following me. I don’t know who, but they’re a- a private investigator I think? They’re not- not part of a department. I didn’t know what to do,” Cameron crossed their arms, the words falling from their lips in a whispered rush.

“Cameron,” Sydney echoed, feeling their heart stutter to a stop as the blood froze cold in their veins.

“No, no, I- they’re not, I didn’t-“ Cameron shook their head, voice wavering as their hands tightly clutched their sleeves in some semblance of self-comfort. Sydney wanted nothing more than to reach out, but their limbs had turned to stone, immobilized. “I didn’t.”

Cameron shifted again, moving their hands to clasp together nervously.

“Syd, I don’t… I don’t expect you to stay through this. I know what you- what you said last time. I just need a few hours, I’ll go get supplies and- and I’ll take care of it all. I can be out in a few hours and I’ll deal with it myself and you never have to be involved or do anything, you can forget this happened. I promise, I know what you said. I’ll leave,” Cameron assured, an emotional flush creeping up their neck.

It was like every fear in Sydney’s mind had numbed and intensified. Their mind deafening and utterly silent.

“Are you going to kill them?”

The hopeless, dull look in Cameron’s eyes said everything their lips didn’t.

Sydney took a step forwards, but not towards Cameron. Towards the front door, climbing up the two steps to the porch with the little swinging loveseat they’d splurged half a month’s salary on for last year’s anniversary present. Before everything that had happened. Cameron had planted a garden for them, flowers of all kind that in the summer looked like a bursting rainbow of pinks yellows purples and oranges. So delicately designed, taken care of. A balance of shrubbery so the garden space wasn’t overwhelmed, gaps grown in with clovers or covered in mulch. Every flower Sydney had ever expressed any attraction to, chosen expressly for them. Even with their overwhelming work, Cameron always found time to maintain it. Now it was ready for the winter, stems trimmed and bulbs uprooted and stored in the far side of the garage so they could be replanted.

Their hand was discerningly steady as they opened the door, with how much their body seemed to be trembling. Dread pooled in their stomach like liquid lead, cold and heavy full of a foreboding sense that only worsened when they stepped inside the house. Their house. The familiar entryway carpet, the stair banister scuffed from many years of stubbed goes against it, the closet door that never quite shut right, felt foreign.

Cameron entered behind them, easing the door shut with a soft click.

“Syd,” Cameron muttered, leaning back against the door and letting his head fall lightly against the wood. They didn’t turn around.

“Syd, I promise, you don’t have to get involved. I’m sorry, I just need an hour, to get some stuff, then I’ll be gone, okay? You can forget all of this. Please, I’m sorry.”

Sydney’s throat felt like it was about to swell shut. A hard lump rested uncomfortably lodged in their windpipe, impossible to swallow back. They weren’t sure where the words came from, but the whisper was slipping from their lips before their mind had caught up from outside.

“Where are they?”

Cameron looked even more harrowed by the words.

“He’s- Syd, please, you don’t… just, just talk to me. Tell me what to do. I already have my suitcase packed, I promise I’ll be gone-”

“Stop it,” Sydney interrupted, the heel of their sneaker squeaking against the floor as they turned to face Cameron. “You’re not going anywhere. Where is he?” They repeated, tone firming as Cameron took a hesitant step towards them.

His lips parted, but it took a few seconds for the words to catch up.

“Bathroom.”

► BIOGRAPHY

TW; Religion mention

Nirvana was born with a gift to appreciate the unusual. At least, that's how her aunt would explain her all-black attire and obscurely-colored hair phase at family events. She was always a square peg in a round hole. This was something she grew used to and actually favored her individuality. There was a part of her that pitied the other girls who attempted to fit in when she grew up being shamelessly herself. Though she was labeled as an outcast, she still had something about her that drew people in. She had a great group of friends, and her fair share of experimental relationships. In short: she didn't miss anything, but she wouldn't have cared if she did. Her aunt was the one who taught her about spirituality after Nirvana had a paranormal experience at the age of 5. Whilst being in a Catholic household, Nirvana and her aunt would often sneak in order to practice their own eclectic belief. Magic, tarot cards, seances, you name it - Nirvana has dabbled in it. What no one was expecting was for her to make a career move out of it. It started in high school, she helped assist her teacher in their paranormal investigation group. It was through this teacher that she learned about anomalies and the role of the paranormal in anthropology. Her job as an investigator was just the groundwork for her BA in Anthropology with a specialization in Women and Minority Studies where she learned more about the occult across various religions and cultures as well as witchcraft and the impact and power women have within interaction, at the University of Exeter. She then went on to gain a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stockon University in NJ. Currently, Nirvana is working on her PhD at NYU with an individualized specialization/research concentration in Parapsychology. At this point in her career, she can be seen as an expert in the occult. She actually works to help victims/survivors of cults, is still a researcher for a paranormal investigation team, and is also hosts a podcast about horror movies, the paranormal and the occult.

► PERSONALITY (DEEP DIVE)

Nirvana is one of those people who can attract and attract and attract, but still feel alone underneath the surface. She loves knowledge and the pursuit of knowledge; If she could be a student her whole life, she would. This combination of coming across as approachable but also seeming highly intelligent, is very intimidating to most. Though, if one were to sit and speak with Nirvana, they would see she has a heart big enough to match her mind and is just an obscure nerd in her own right. She can be sarcastic and condescending if someone asks a question she deems as 'stupid'. She's known to bully as her type of flirting. She's actually not online, and prefers it that way. She's clever and witty and goes on passion-dump sprees pretty often about a new book she's reading, or about her research or podcast. She loves people who have a sense of humor. Nirvana is more introverted than extroverted and also has a busy schedule, so it may be hard to reach her at times and she's well aware of this. If she values someone, she makes sure she sets time aside for them. She's really a big mushy nerd guys, but she has so many phases and you never know what you're gonna get when you meet her. She's moon-coded, okay?

Look who just woke up- is that JASON RALPH? No, I must have been mistaken, that’s QUENTIN COLDWATER from THE MAGICIANS. I heard he is 28 and stuck here just like everyone else. Even in the 20’s, they still give off a A BEING SHY AND ANXIOUS AND OFTEN NOT BELIEVING IN HIMSELF; DETERMINED TO MAKE UP FOR HIS MISTAKES; EVEN WHEN IT COMES WITH A HIGH PRICE; SOMETIMES NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WOULD BE BETTER TO LET SOMETHING GO impression. They’re known to be quite INTELLIGENT, but have a tendency to be INTROVERTED on their bad days.

Gender/Pronouns : he/him

How long have they been in Sydney : in reality, Quentin arrive only recently, however, in his fake life, he came to Sydney for treatment and college

Which suburb do they live in? tba

Personality description : Quentin is always shy and insecure, worried to say or do the wrong things and generally, not trusting strangers very much. While he is loyal to the end towards his friends on the other hand, he still has troubles to express his feelings and needs on most days

Memories of their real life :

Quentin… my poor precious boy who always thought there should be more in life than what the eye can see

he did always believe the fictional world of Fillory does really exist

Q was suffering from isolation anxiety, and did even spend some time in a Mental Health Clinic because of major depression (medication included)

He is still pretty anxious at times, and not very self-confident either, but it is getting better: He is having good and not so good days at this point

Q does remember Brakebills, the friends he made there - especially Eliot and Alice - and the struggles and hardships they got through.

He remembers how they all managed to bring magic back into the world, however, he has no idea what the price of it was (loss of memories and a fake life) and he also does not know anything yet about his later death.

What was their fake life like : 

Q's fake life had not really been much better than his real one. As a boy, he did not really have any friends expect those hiding between the pages of books. He was shy, uncertain, and an easy target for bullying.

Maybe it was because of the early death of his mother and his father not knowing how to raise the boy himself, seeing the man was having his own mental issues since that day.

When Q started to talk to his imaginary friends, his father did send him to a lot of doctors, but nothing really helped.

It was only when Q turned 18, and got the money from his heritage, that things got a little better. He found a place at a college in Sydney, and a therapist he was going to regulary to work on his trauma.

Quote: "Most of my life I've been in and out of hospitals, and you know, just suicidal thoughts and notes, and…a lot of notes. Attempts, and meds, and therapy, and then I found Brakebills, and all that went away. I thought that…Did I do something brave to save my friends? Or did I finally find a way to kill myself?"

Hobbies: Books, books, and.... a lot of books. And self-tought magical tricks

personality type: INFP - Quentin is fiercely loyal, he's thoughtful and caring. He'll solve any problem in order to help save his friends and even the world. People with an INFP personality are analytical yet idealistic

theme song: Secondhand Serenade - Fix You

Naalala ko tuloy yun old work ko sa eye clinic. I used to work with this doctor, ophthalmologist to be exact. He travels around the world, attended so many conferences and seminars to conduct a research and surveys at nakapag publish na rin ng mga books and journals. He is a research director & ophthalmology director sa isang public hospital. He is also an Ophthalmology professor at University of Sydney. Hindi namin sya tinatawag na “doc” or “doctor”, because he prefers to be called “prof”. To think na medical doctor sya. Naalala ko lang bigla, kasi nga nabanggit mo na sa ibang bansa, they don’t care kung ano yun itatawag sakanila.

Our scheduled magnawave for last night had to be cancelled due to BO feeling under the weather. We are hoping to reschedule for later this week if she starts to feel better. So, I ended up doing a regular ride instead. Sydney was feeling super 💃 spicy 💃 with lots of silly head shakes and fun front leg shenanigans during our walk warmup. Once we had trotted for a while I decided to throw  caution to the wind and asked for the canter and...she felt pretty darn sound. So, I conferred with BO and we decided that next week will try a short 30 minute lesson to see where things are at with her being my eyes on the ground, and then a magnawave treatment later in the week. Hoping against hope that we are finally on the mend. I think a few of the changes in her care that were made by moving her to this barn have allowed her body to rest a bit more, and the magnawave is hopefully also helping. I’ve noticed that she hasn’t been doing her typical “parking out” that she has done most of her life the last two weeks since moving her. Not sure if it is just a coincidence or if there is something going on with a combination in the change in her environment and the addition of the magnawave to her routine.

Also, because I was feeling some FOMO I signed us up for a working equitation clinic in May that was filling up slots super fast. I have always wanted to try it, but it’s something that is just not really found in my area. So, either my horse will still be dead lame, or we will have terrible weather! Because I can never have good luck when it comes to putting down a deposit on something I really want to do with my horse.

Pterygium Surgery Cost in Australia: What to Expect and Key Considerations

What Does Pterygium Surgery Involve?

Pterygium surgery involves the removal of the growth from the surface of the eye. In most cases, the surgeon will replace the removed tissue with a graft taken from the patient’s own eye (autograft), which reduces the risk of the pterygium returning. The procedure is generally performed under local anaesthesia and is considered outpatient surgery, meaning patients can return home on the same day.

The surgery typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, but recovery time may vary depending on the individual. After the procedure, patients may experience discomfort, redness, and sensitivity to light for a few days, and full recovery can take up to several weeks.

How Much Does Pterygium Surgery Cost in Australia?

The cost of pterygium surgery in Australia can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, pterygium surgery cost australia the location of the clinic, and whether the surgery is performed in a public or private healthcare setting.

On average, the cost of pterygium surgery in Australia ranges from AUD 1,500 to AUD 3,500 for a single eye when performed in a private setting. This price typically includes the surgeon’s fees, anaesthetist’s fees, and the cost of any follow-up appointments or aftercare.

If the surgery is performed in a public hospital and the patient is covered by Medicare, much of the cost will be subsidised, meaning patients may only need to pay a small out-of-pocket fee or, in some cases, no fee at all. However, waiting times for surgery in the public system can be longer compared to private care.

For those with private health insurance, the amount covered will depend on the level of your insurance policy. Some policies cover the full cost of the procedure, while others may only cover a portion, leaving patients responsible for any excess fees or gaps in coverage.

Factors That Influence the Cost of Pterygium Surgery

Several factors can impact the overall cost of pterygium surgery, including:

Location of the Clinic: Costs may be higher in major cities such as Sydney or Melbourne due to higher operating expenses. Clinics in regional areas may offer more competitive pricing, Refractive lens exchange Australia but accessibility and availability of specialised care should also be considered.

Surgeon’s Experience: More experienced surgeons may charge higher fees, but their expertise can reduce the risk of complications or recurrence. It's essential to choose a qualified ophthalmologist with a strong track record in performing pterygium surgery.

Severity of the Pterygium: More advanced cases requiring a complex or extensive procedure may result in higher costs. Some patients may also need additional procedures if the pterygium recurs or if complications arise post-surgery.

Private vs. Public Healthcare: As mentioned earlier, choosing a private clinic will generally result in higher costs but may offer shorter waiting times and more personalised care. In contrast, public hospitals provide a more cost-effective option, particularly for Medicare cardholders.

Post-Surgery Care and Additional Costs

After pterygium surgery, follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor healing and ensure the graft is integrating well with the eye. The cost of post-surgery care should be factored into the overall expense, particularly if additional medications or treatments are required.

Patients may also need prescription eye drops to manage inflammation and prevent infection. These medications are generally not included in the surgery cost and can range from AUD 20 to AUD 100, depending on the type of medication and the duration of use.

In some cases, patients might require further corrective procedures or treatments, especially if complications arise. While these are rare, it's important to budget for any unexpected costs associated with follow-up care.

Is Pterygium Surgery Worth the Cost?

For individuals suffering from the discomfort, irritation, or vision impairment caused by pterygium, surgery can be life-changing. While the costs can be substantial, the benefits of improved eye health, reduced discomfort, and enhanced vision quality often outweigh the expense.

EMDR and Schema Therapy in Australia: A Guide by Resilient Roots

If you're seeking effective psychological therapies in Australia, particularly in Sydney, Resilient Roots offers two powerful modalities: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Schema Therapy. Both approaches provide unique benefits for individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. This guide will delve into each therapy's principles, processes, and where you can find qualified EMDR therapists near me.

EMDR Therapy in Australia

EMDR therapy is a structured approach designed to help individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences. Initially developed in the late 1980s by Francine Shapiro, EMDR has gained worldwide recognition for its efficacy in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related issues. The therapy involves guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation techniques that facilitate the reprocessing of distressing memories.

In Australia, EMDR therapy is conducted by trained and certified therapists. It typically involves an eight-phase approach: history taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation. Clients often report significant improvements after a few sessions, making EMDR a popular choice for those searching for "EMDR therapy near me."

Developed by Jeffrey Young in the 1980s, this integrative approach combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and psychodynamic concepts. Schema Therapy aims to identify and change deeply entrenched negative patterns of thinking and behavior, known as "schemas," that often originate from early life experiences.

This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with chronic psychological issues, personality disorders, and difficulties in relationships. Schema Therapy involves working collaboratively with the therapist to recognize maladaptive schemas and develop healthier coping mechanisms. The process is often tailored to each individual's needs, making it a versatile option for various mental health concerns.

Whether you want to treat droopy upper eyelids, remove extra skin, or minimize puffiness in the lower eyelids, Verve Cosmetic Clinic's professional surgeons have the skill and experience to achieve exceptional results.

Why Choose Blepharoplasty? As we become older, the delicate skin around our eyes may sag, giving us a fatigued or aged appearance.

Skin Health Matters: Skilled Care from Skin Cancer Doctor in Sydney

A specific kind of skin cancer doctor in Sydney screening known as a "body scan" or "mole mapping" makes use of high-resolution photography to produce an intricate map of a person's skin. The process finds molecular structures, growths, and additional skin lesions and tracks any changes over time.

The skin cancer procedure usually entails taking many high-resolution pictures of a person's skin and is carried out by a dermatologist or skin cancer expert. After that, a physician examines these photos to find any worrisome growths or moles that would require a biopsy or other testing.

When is the Best Time to Use the Punch Biopsy Technique?

To get the best skin biopsy results, a little circular blade is used. Once more, a local anaesthetic is used to numb the skin before the blade is driven into the skin and rotated to remove a little piece of tissue, much like a miniature cookie cutter. This creates a little hole that, depending on its size, can either heal completely or need one or two stitches.

Physicians diagnose skin check in Sydney before it spreads by keeping an eye out for changes in blemishes or growths over time. Similar to a punch biopsy, an incisional biopsy is frequently carried out using a scalpel blade and is usually long, thin, and shallow. Following numbing, the physician makes a tiny incision and extracts a little sample of the tumour that is suspicious.

Specialised Tools That Are Easily Accessible

The equipment at a skin cancer clinic is crucial when it comes to skin cancer avoidance and detection. Modern hardware and software are available in skin care clinics for skin condition imaging, documentation, and analysis. A general practitioner (GP) can examine your skin, but they might not have the greatest technology available in their clinic for doing so.

An abundance of extra resources will be available to a skin cancer clinic for novel, state-of-the-art skin cancer detection technologies. It's easier than ever to schedule your routine skin check with your neighbourhood skin cancer clinic because there is a shortage of general practitioners in Australia and wait times have nearly doubled.

Don’t Let Fungus Steal Your Shine: A Guide to Healthy Toenails with The Footwork Clinic

The foot soldiers are sometimes ignored, and toenails are vital to the general health of the foot. But what happens if an unstoppable enemy seizes hold, making these once-perfect nails brittle, discolored, and maybe even painful? We are speaking of toenail fungus, an unsightly yet frequent visitor that may be uncomfortable and embarrassing.

You will learn about the causes, signs, cures, and preventative methods of toenail fungus in this article. We will also discuss The Footwork Clinic, one of Sydney’s greatest one-stop shops for healthy, fungal-free feet.

Understanding Toenail Fungus:

A diseased nail may come away from the nail bed. One frequent nail illness is nail fungus. It starts under the nail or toenail tip as a white or yellow-brown patch. The nail may get thicker, disintegrate at the edge, and darken as the fungal infection spreads deeper.

Symptoms to Watch Out For:

Early detection is crucial in effectively managing toenail fungus. Here are some telltale signs to keep an eye on:

Discoloration: The nails might turn white, brown, black, or yellow.

Thinning: As the nail gets larger, trimming it might become challenging.

Brittle Nails: Fungi may easily cause nails to crumble and break.

distorted Shape: The nail takes on an uneven or ridged appearance in place of its smooth, flat surface.

The buildup of Debris: An unpleasant stench may result from debris building up beneath an infected nail.

Pain or Discomfort: In extreme circumstances, the infected nail may hurt, particularly when applying pressure.

Risk Factors:

Certain factors increase your risk of developing toenail fungus, including:

Age: Fungal infections that weaken the immune system grow more frequently as we age.

Medical Conditions: Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and weakened immune systems all raise the risk.

Moist Environments: Fungi will grow there if you wear moist socks and shoes for an extended period.

Fungi may enter the body through two different routes: cuts and fractures in the nails and skin.

Shared moist surfaces in public spaces like gyms and pools can raise the risk of fungal infections.

Treatment Options:

You must get expert assistance from a podiatrist such as those at The Footwork Clinic if you suspect toenail fungus. Treatment outcomes are faster and more efficient with early intervention. These are a few typical therapy choices:

Antifungal medications: These can be eaten systemically or taken orally and applied topically to the afflicted nail.

Laser treatment: Using lasers, this non-invasive technique locates and eliminates the fungus.

Nail removal: In severe cases, the infected nail might have to be cut off.

Preventing Toenail Fungus:

A pound of cure is not worth an ounce of prevention. The following advice can help you maintain healthy toenails:

You can keep your feet clean by giving them a thorough wash and drying every day, paying close attention to the spaces between your toes.

Put on fresh, dry socks. Always change your socks, especially after a workout. Choose air-breathable cotton socks.

Select cozy footwear: Steer clear of overly restrictive styles and go for materials that allow for good airflow. Never stop providing air for your feet.

When visiting public facilities and gyms, wear sandals to reduce cross-contamination. Additionally, avoid sharing towels or nail clippers.

Maintain filed and trimmed nails to reduce the amount of space that might harbor fungus.

Address any underlying health conditions: Seek medical attention for any conditions that may increase your susceptibility to fungal infections.

The Footwork Clinic: Your Partner in Foot Health

A group of committed podiatrists that are passionate about offering complete foot care make up The Footwork Clinic. They provide individualized treatment strategies to help you get back on track since they are aware of the psychological and physical toll that toenail fungus can have.

Caring Treatment: They put the comfort and well-being of their patients first and are aware of the suffering caused by toenail fungus.

Tailored Care: They create treatment regimens according to the gravity and underlying cause of your particular situation.

Education and Prevention: To maintain the long-term health of your feet, The Footwork Clinic places a strong emphasis on preventative measures.

Don’t Let Toenail Fungus Dim Your Shine:

Your reliable companion on this trip is The Footwork Clinic. Make an appointment right now, and allow them to assist you in confidently presenting your best self.

" are you sure ? i told sydney i was coming here so she'll probably be covering for me tomorrow anyway," but she won't insist. not when until now, they both avoided each other like the plague. her touch is gentle and careful as she washes his sides, pearly whites sinking into her bottom lip as her hand further travels south on his body, she pauses, her cheeks flushing slightly, unsure if this is too much. “sorry, just… making sure i don’t miss a spot,” she murmurs with a light laugh, trying to keep the mood from turning too serious, even as her pulse quickens. her honeyed eyes flicker up to meet his, searching for any sign of discomfort — or perhaps permission to continue. "well, yeah but it's fine. i have a lot going on at the clinic anyway, you know i was always happier around animals anyway." it's perhaps sad, the truth of it, but it's what she has now. there's a moment where she almost regrets the confession, realizing how empty it sounds. she tries to cover it up with a small smile, her hand moving to his arm, where she gives a reassuring squeeze. "but, hey, at least i don’t have to deal with grumpy patients who complain about my smell."

❝ hmm? oh... um, no, that's alright. ❞ he's already caused her more trouble than he's worth and also in the middle of yet another favor he'll feel indebted to. an awkward smile crosses his face the lower she cleans him, acutely aware again of the position he's put her in. ❝ i'm sure you're busy. you work tomorrow also. ❞ unless she's somehow miraculously changed her work schedule, emmett's still got it locked in his memories. ❝ come on, don't say that. you've had plans before. you know, with what's-his-name. ❞ he's forgotten it already and doesn't really care to remember anymore, especially now that he's discovered she never really loved him enough to marry him. ❝ you're telling me that saving your ex-boyfriend is the only good thing going for you these days? c'mon, ada. that's not like you. ❞

[ad_1] The Matildas have once again made history as the first national side to make the semi-finals of a FIFA World Cup, with the eyes of the nation upon them in a ridiculously tense penalty shootout win over France.Sydney FC’s Cortnee Vine placed her penalty into the bottom right corner to conclude the longest penalty shootout in the history of the World Cup, and fire Australia over European heavyweights France. England took care of Colombia in their quarterfinal at Stadium Australia in a clinical performance, but will be without star Lauren James for the blockbuster penultimate game against their Antipodean rivals, courtesy of a shocking brainfade in their Round of 16 clash with Nigeria that landed James a two-match suspension. Find out everything you need to know for the World Cup semi-final. How to watch You have a few options for catching all the action, with Channel 7 and Optus Sport sharing the broadcast rights in Australia.Channel 7 will broadcast the game live and free to air on their main channel, while it will also be streamed on 7Plus.Optus Sport is showing every single match live and on-demand, but requires a subscription for access.If you can’t get a ticket to watch the game at Stadium Australia, there are any number of live sites around Australia. There are a number of FIFA Fan Festival sites in most capital cities, as well as most local councils in major cities offering a live site option. Here are some of the biggest live sites around the country where you can watch the semi-final: Sydney – Tumbalong Park (FIFA Fan Festival), CommBank Stadium, Allianz Stadium, North Sydney Oval, Mackey ParkMelbourne – Federation Square (FIFA Fan Festival), AAMI Park Brisbane – Riverside Green, South Bank (FIFA Fan Festival)Adelaide – Festival Plaza (FIFA Fan Festival) Perth – Forrest Place (FIFA Fan Festival) When is the semi-final match?Australia and England will face off on Wednesday, August 16.What time will it start?The game is set to kick off at 8pm (AEST), with the game being at 7pm in the central states and 6pm in the west. Should the game go to extra time and penalties, as the Matildas’ quarterfinal did, the match may run as late as 10:30pm (AEST).Where is it being played?The game is being played at Sydney’s Stadium Australia, which has borne witness to two Matildas fixtures so far this tournament, and will also host the final. The stadium is serviced best by public transport, with additional direct services to Olympic Park Station on the T7 line running from Central Station, as well as event buses servicing the stadium precinct. Parking at Stadium Australia is relatively limited. The Matildas have not lost so far in Sydney, defeating Ireland 1-0 in the group stage and Denmark 2-0 in the Round of 16. England have played two matches in Sydney thus far, but only the one at Stadium Australia, a 2-1 defeat of Colombia. Their other fixture in Sydney was a clinical 1-0 defeat of Denmark in the group stage at Sydney Football Stadium. Who are the Lionesses and what is our record against them? The Lionesses came into the tournament as one of the favourites, coming off a European Championship victory last year, but have not gone further than third place at a World Cup. They have made the semi-finals twice, losing in 2015 to Japan and in 2019 to eventual champions the United States. Despite this, they remain the short-priced bookmakers’ favourite to take out the tournament, with defender Lucy Bronze (Manchester City) and captain Millie Bright (Chelsea) all featuring in the top 20 of last year’s Ballon d’Or Feminin. This is despite a number of injuries to key players ahead of the World Cup, with captain Leah Williamson and striker Leah Kirby both out. Superstar striker Beth Mead also has missed the tournament, after losing her race to recover from an ACL injury. Breakout star Lauren James will miss the clash with suspension, having had an extraordinary start to the tournament which had her on track for player of the tournament honours. The Matildas have played six games against the Lionesses, losing three, winning two and drawing one, but won their most recent encounter 2-0 in Brentford. The Australians also came out on top against a Great Britain team featuring much of this Lionesses’ side at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, knocking the Poms out in the quarterfinal stage in an extra-time thriller. Going up against the Poms won’t be foreign territory for the Matildas, with the two teams having clubmates on a day-to-day basis. Australian captain Sam Kerr is the two-time consecutive reigning top goalscorer at Chelsea, and should she start, will mark up directly on her teammate, Chelsea and Lionesses captain Millie Bright. Jess Carter will also line up at the back for England, and plays alongside Bright and Kerr at Chelsea. Matildas’ vice-captain Steph Catley and striker Caitlin Foord both play for Arsenal alongside the Lionesses’ Lotte Wubben-Moy and Alessia Russo, while England boast five Manchester City players that share a dressing room with Australian superstar Mary Fowler and defender Alanna Kennedy.

Fred Hollows

Fred Hollows was born in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1929.

Originally, he wanted to become a minister and studied for this, however, a summer holiday job at a mental health facility changed his mind. His talent in science meant he was offered a place in medicine, and after graduating, Fred began assisting eye surgeons. Fred eventually became so interested in ophthalmology, he moved to the UK to specialise in it. When he returned to Australia in 1965, it was to become Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of New South Wales.

In 1968, after seeing two senior Aboriginal men from Wattie Creek as patients in his eye clinic, Fred was invited to fly up to their camp in the Northern Territory. The poor standard of health in the camp, particularly in eye health, was a shock. He couldn’t believe that people lived in these conditions in a country like Australia. Fred was especially disturbed by the huge number of children and adults suffering from blinding trachoma – a disease rarely found in the rest of Australia. He was later asked to go to Bourke, 800km from Sydney, where he found the same shocking conditions. These moments sparked Fred’s indignation and drove his desire to fight for better access to eye health and living conditions for Indigenous Australians.

In 1985, Fred visited Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh on behalf of the World Health Organisation and, two years later, he visited war-torn Eritrea. These experiences had a huge effect on Fred, motivating him to find a way to reduce the cost of eye care and treatment in developing countries. Fred saw the need for factories to produce affordable intraocular lenses. These lenses were used to treat cataract and significantly cut the cost of restoring sight. He sought to empower local communities by founding these factories in Nepal and Eritrea. The lenses were expensive when made in Australia, but cheap and accessible when made locally. The factories have produced millions of lenses and are a continuing reminder of Fred’s enduring impact.

Despite being diagnosed with cancer, Fred was determined to keep pushing for change in the countries he cared deeply about. In the last few months of his life, he discharged himself from hospital to fly to Vietnam to train over 300 Vietnamese eye specialists in modern surgery techniques. Fred and Gabi set up The Fred Hollows Foundation with the help of some friends to ensure his work would continue into the future. Fred died on 10 February 1993 and was given a state funeral. He had asked to be buried in Bourke where he had a great affinity with the people and the land.
