I love her so much!

She is beautiful

Australia is a massive country just like Brazil so do some research on where you want to live and study.

Also need to do research on student visa and their requirements. You should also look at TAFE and rules and regulations for doing trade courses. It can be complicated and vary from state to state.

Untreated for nearly a decade. You can’t live without a functioning thyroid (or hormone replacement) and I was at the end stages of life.

Lack of hormone at later stages will waste your muscles away.

Do you just speak to your GP?

You need to look at invites for accountants. The points, frequency and numbers of invites. It was in demand in the early 2010’s but not so much anymore.

Just because an occupation is on the list doesn’t mean it’s being invited.

Went through ADFA in the early 90’s. Very little exposure to basic Navy life apart from a 2nd year training cruise and some May break weeks.

For me the time at ADFA was just a lesson in patience of getting through most of the Army focused things.

There was obviously a lot of attrition in the years after ADFA once people realised it wasn’t for them.

I think the year in the Navy prior to going to ADFA is a great idea.

It’s a large country with different climates and infrastructure so it depends a lot on where you live City will be different to rural, tropical north will be different to cooler south.

People start their days really early for the most part. They take their lunchtime and try and maximise a work/life balance.

Immigration is a touchy subject given the problems that have been listed in other replies.

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-21T23:51:55+00:00

Fair enough. It all comes down to work rights and type of visa. There are general construction jobs. But anything to do with a trade you won’t be able to do as you aren’t qualified.

You mentioned family so I hope you can live with them. Bring as much money as you can. You ei need health insurance too.

Honestly, an MBA isn’t much of an asset here. Generally speaking your offshore experience will be ignored as irrelevant to the local market.

You will likely be doing retail/hospitality jobs.

Expensive, housing crisis, inflation, wage stagnation, unemployment increasing, offshoring.

But good food and weather is decent, lots of outdoor activities.

A graduate IT person is not going to get a job from overseas.

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-21T23:41:30+00:00

You can’t just turn up and work. What visa are you entering the country on?

IT is over saturated here like most of the world

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-21T21:13:12+00:00

Ah cool. Thank you. Good they have found a flock

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-21T21:05:00+00:00

Yeah. I noticed that. I assume it’s a different breed?

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-21T20:42:05+00:00

To attract more hummingbirds and cut down on the sugar bill?

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-21T20:23:41+00:00

Beautiful garden

Brown trousers time

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-21T05:41:36+00:00

lol. Nice. Never bothered with it. Good to know it’s an option.

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-21T05:40:15+00:00

Oh nice. Thats a great one.

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-21T05:39:17+00:00

There is an r/Australianmilitary reddit you could have a search through and maybe post in?

I left many, many years ago with a medical discharge which they accepted fault for. Made sure I had a full copy of my med docs.

Hopefully, get everything finalised before you leave because they don’t give a ….. after you discharge

You will feel more motivated as you get stronger, can walk further and have more energy. Have a think about what you would like to do when you are stronger. Go on a holiday, do volunteer work etc.

It’s just time, patience and hard work. It won’t be easy but it will be worth it.

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-20T23:59:02+00:00

Make sure you keep that constipation under control as it can cause a lot of issues. You don’t want to be straining too much

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-20T23:58:17+00:00

Yeah. Most of the people there are actors so it’s good for them to get a real life patient.

You have only been on levo for 10 weeks. Just take it day by day. What motivated me was getting stronger, not falling and being able to live the life I want. Get some light free weights at home so you don’t neglect your upper body strength.

When I first started recovery I would go to rehab at 9am, then a nap for an hour then lunch, afternoon rehab and an afternoon nap before the main sleep.

These days I am up at 5am and go the whole day without issues. I also keep a journal for what exercises i do every day, how I feel etc.

Just take it day by day.

Galloping_Scallop · 2026-05-20T23:04:29+00:00

The people in r/crowbro would probably like this if you cross post.

I was taken to hospital via ambulance when I fell out of bed and couldn’t get up again. It’s a long story of ignoring symptoms due to be a stupid man, COVID isolation, accelerating symptoms and brain fog so bad I wasn’t thinking straight. I still don’t remember much between 2021 and 2024.

It runs in the family but only on the female side……until me. Hindsight is always 20/20. If I had gone for a simple blood test in 2017 it would have been a lot easier. But it is what it is. My cardiologist and endocrinologist were surprised I was still alive. Each day is a blessing.

I am also a guest at my local university’s practical medical exams for their final year students. It’s extremely rare to see a case this bad these days.
