Slam that door Dazzla, SLAM IT !!!!

Not without appreciation for what the amazing staff there have done to help you but slam it with the confidence and excitement of what lies ahead and the pride that you should feel of what you have accomplished.

Slam it. Lock it, seal it, bolt it down, because the door that is now opening is going to be such an amazing, exciting, true real life that lies ahead.

I can never begin to imagine what you have gone through over the last few months. As my life passed by as per usual. You were ripped with a force from your usual life and awoke to an unfamiliar, scary, painful environment. You have been for the last few months, continually struggling and fighting for what you want.

Well Done Dazzla !!

Dazzla, Surviving (first of all) and then living through what you have been through, I hope will give you the confidence in yourself to know and believe that you can do anything. Including what ever lies ahead in the next few months.

Christmas is around the corner ( I know scary) and I remember reading your blogs in the beginning thinking and saying that if you just woke up out of your coma and said something it would be the most wonderful, amazing, incredible, magnificent, superb, miraculous, breathtaking, “best ever”, Christmas present ever. AND YOU DID!!
Thank You Dazzla. You defiantly made my Christmas. (and a whole lot more.

Of course you did, you’re Dazzla, . . .Dazzling everyone. Always have been and always will do.

I am so happy for you that, you are happier and that things are getting better. From what I have heard and understand, now that you have had that piece of your skull replaced, it will make a proper seal and your brain will feel more safe and secure. Not so exposed. And because of that, will heal even more and function even better, YES!!!! So good.
Onwards and upwards hey. So excited for you.

You’re amazing, I’m proud of you and of course I miss you.

Speak soon, (hopefully you will get back to using your mobile again soon.)

And the lid was closed………. What a relief that will be for you all. That is pretty weird to think that you had that much “exposed” all this time!

Like everyone else that has been following your progress, I look forward to catching up with you AND shaking that right hand!

Amazing! Can’t wait to see you up in the far north again. We are coming for a visit as soon as you are ready. I can already picture you slammin the door, not just closing it. All of the old cowboys up here are thinking of you too and keep updated through those of us that know how to use the internet
all our thoughts

The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort – the opening, terror. Conversely, the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing – the opening a wonderfully joyous moment.

Good luck and very best wishes. What a journey!

Hey Darryl,
Cool news down your way, Rob and I were in Auckland last week and were intending to visit. Forgot it was a big week for you so glad it all went well. And how exciting to be heading for home YAY!!!!!!
So looking forward to seeing you I guess it will be a case of ”get in line’ so many friends wanting to see you. We are really hoping you can come over to our place for a visit relax on the deck and check out all the dogs again.
Terry is off to Gisborne this morning for 2-3 weeks, he has been offered 6 months work so will be travelling back and forth for a while yet. He is loving every minute of it chasing feral bulls all over the place. So Im left holding the fort here with the dogs and horses that remain.
Kyle has been itching to catch a pig that has been out his way and getting bolder by the week. So Rob and I are taking Just over this week to see if we can catch it. Ive mated Just with our catahoula so looking forward to those pups due end of november.
Well my friend only two more days till you get home, thats so cool. It will be so nice to see you again.
Love you heaps Robbie says HEY,..
Love and hugs
Traceyxxxxx
