Sunny Days

Hi
I meant to tell you Amanda and Matt came up last weekend and helped Glenda burn up five big piles of leaves and bark as usual I supervised them on Wednesday Carmel Glenda's sister and her husband John and there daughter Sharon came up for two days to see me so its been a busy week with Tuesday at the surgeons and then Wednesday morning to see my normal doctor both of these visits were in Stawell so it was a bit of traveling of fifty minutes each way.I spent as much time as I could outside in the sun as the weather was kind and I took in as much vitamin B as I could as I also weighed myself and found that I have put back on 5 kilos this is great.

Stll have machine

Hi
I went back today to see the surgeon and he is happy with the way the wound is slowly filling up inside and wont close it until it fills a lot more so I still have the machine on me for sometime yet as it must fill in a fair bit before he closes it so I must be patient as after all this time I want it to go right.

Good Results

Hi Folks
I went back to see the surgeon and he is very happy with the cleanup but I still have to go back and see him next week and perhaps then he might give me a date to close the section of the wound up and that will mean I can then get rid of the machine that I carry around with me 24 hours a day that sucks out the wound and keeps it clear.But day by day I am getting stronger and can walk without the aid of a walker I and am eating well.
It rained here with 19 mil so this morning I went down with Glenda while she lit up one pile of leaves and bark to see how it would burn and it went well so we will do the rest on the weekend when it really dries out.

Getting Stronger

Hi Everyone
I just used the scales and found that I have now put on 4 kg this is good news but I have to go back to see the surgeon on Tuesday as he has to see how the wound is going as there is a small part of it still open with the machine doing its job and still removing all the fluid.
As we live on 1 acre Glenda is still very busy cleaning up the leaves and bark from the trees and there is a lot of it,she has 5 large heaps but it cant be burnt until Wednesday when the fire ban is lifted and then she will set it alight.

Getting Stronger

Hi Folks
I just came out of hospital again I had to go in for 2 days to get the wound cleaned up and once more have a special machine that I have to carry around with me 24 hours a day it sucks out the gunk so I came home a bit tired but day be day I am getting stronger and have put on nearly 2 kg in weight after loosing 16 kg.
Glenda is still kept busy looking after me and cleaning up leaves and bark outside she has about 5 large piles waiting for the fire period to Finnish so she can burn and this will happen just after Easter so as you can imagine what with me and all the extra work placed on her she is very tired and run down.

A Bit of shock

Hi Everyone its been a bit of a shock that I had to go into Hospital for a major operation I have spent 3 weeks in Hospital in Horsham where the specialist was and then back closer to home another 2 weeks in the Stawell hospital and I am now home to recuperate but it will take some time before I get back into touring again but Glenda has been looking after me very well and she was very tired having to go up and down to Stawell each day a total of 50 mi nuts each way but now I am home the pressure of driving is of and that means she is not as tired

Quite Time

Hi Folk sorry we have nothing to report as its a very quite time but I have been enjoying the break getting some work done at home like sanding down the rest of the house and as soon as the weather cools down a bit I will then start painting and I also bought a cement mixer and will make use of it as soon as the weather gets a bit cooler as I have a lot of projects to do but as I said the weather is to hot to be out in the sun its around the 38 Deg everyday and that is very hot for our region.
But we are of again to Tasmania this month but only for the one tour so when I come back I am hoping that it will be cool enough to get stuck into the work I have to do before we get to busy again and wont be able to find the time.
We are looking forward to this tour as it has changed in so many ways and an extra two days have been added so it will be a new challenge as it stays at motels that we have not stayed at before and takes in some more of this wonderfull Tasmania that we love.
