Ministry Team report November 2024

1.1. An Update on my Health

I have been suffering significant side effects from my arthritis medication (disturbed sleep, nausea, brain fog) which have been interfering with my work.
My rheumatologist is moving me to a new medication which will hopefully take away the afternoon exhaustion and memory failures!
Had an excellent long weekend camping with my family in Wilson’s Promontory where I got to play with my new birding lens (see https://adobe.ly/4elVXHD).
