However I did get a diagnosis for why my fingers bend in funny ways – ligamentous laxity! It [...]

It’s turned all cold! Now I know that 10 degrees celsius doesn’t sound cold to you people who live in cold places but Sydney is not fitted out for temperatures under about 20 degrees. Our houses are poorly insulated, we don’t tend to have large stocks of cold weather clothes (not much point buying stuff [...]

This morning was anatomy where we examined the muscles of the hip, thigh and gluteal region. I think we need a new leg. Ours is getting a bit tatty.
