Darryl, fantastic to hear your doing well mate. I promise you you’ll get there with your determination, gotta be positive mate, i was. Just look after your fatigue levels and you’ll be fine. I know its terrible looking at pictures of you and others that you dont remember! Just listen to your O/T and family, they see things you wont! take care mate and your very lucky to have such a wonderful family and friends, with their support and help you’ll get there!

Hi Darryl
It has been a big week,started with drenching and inoculating the ewes ready for lambing.Mickey, Elroy, Danny, and Wasa, came and gave us hand.It certainly got the job over and finished in a couple of days.Thursday we started to Copper, and drench the cows ready for calving.The general hands are giving us a hand,i think they are grateful to get away from all the repair fencing they have been doing.
Keep taking long strides.
Regards Kathleen,Max,Deane,Lewis,Latimer,and Sandy.

Yo the Dazzla
Good day all round, when the sun shines it just feels easier
ya know, caught up with Lulu* on the phone was cool
Must have been something pretty darn important that she dropped behind the washing machine – bloody classic story, bet you cracked up with that one
And auntie Bones in a dress wicked, gotta see those pics
Lulu* might get a laptop – and I will most certainly loose my top blog writer position – bugger!! will have to compensate with
more visits HEY Dazzla, man I am sure you could do with heaps of those
Allen pulled a calf out tonight after under 7’s training both cow
and calf are sweet lucky he went back and checked
Jake scored a try and nobody could get him in the Bulls Rush game
I had a kindy meeting rushed home to make tea before the hungry boys got back – I made it just in time even got the fire going and washing on… Then the Genger vomited in his cot through all his blankets and sheets and pillow cases and over his beloved Bear so they are just in the dryer and he is back to where he started, hope he is not sick through the night he had diareah all through the night last night and mostly I hope this doesn’t spread through the whole family – Certainly takes the F out of fun parenting
Well Little Bro keep your chin up and keep riding hard
Think of you all the time

Jeremiah 29:11-13.
“….. For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart…..”

Well done guys. Keep up the good work.

Good Morning Dazzla.

Every time I hear news about how you’re doing, it’s always positive and you’re always THAT much closer to being back to the old you.

I went swimming in the gym pool the other day after a run, and couldn’t help but notice how good it felt on tired muscles, how light I felt and how easily I could move my arms and legs around. About a tenth of the effort and pressure than if I were outside the pool.

That of course got me thinking about you, the troubles you have been having with your arm and leg, and wondering if you could go in a pool to do some exercises and see if helped or made the movement a bit easier. And for walking, the water would almost be like a protective layer around you (like invisible hands surrounding you, that will be there to help you if you need them.) Giving you that little bit of help to stand and walk, and also a soft place to land if you did fall. Like a safe environment to take risks and really push yourself and try new things.

And besides all of that, going swimming always seems to lift your spirits, it’s good for the soul. Who know, maybe you can even practice and see if you can hold you breath under water?

Not too much happening here by me. Although I did have a funny experience with doing the washing on the weekend. I dropped something behind the washing machine and because it was too heavy to move I had to go up and over the top of it and squeeze my head and shoulders in behind to try and reach it. Probably not a very good idea cus I did something really wrong to my neck. I got such a sharp pain in my neck to a point where I couldn’t bare the pain anymore, and I guess my brain thought the same thing so decided to shut down, I could feel myself going as my vision got smaller and smaller. Need less to say that when my brain decided to wake up again and I gained my sight back I felt so bilious and just wanted to get sick. Ha ha I’m laughing now but it wasn’t that funny then.

I guess I almost felt a few minutes of what you had to feel for weeks, and it wasn’t nice! I’m not at all trying to compare the two, just acknowledging how Shit it must have been for you. And you coped and dealt with it like a legend. Good on you Dazzla.

Keep working hard, not too long now.

XxXx Lulu*.
