Hi Everyone,
I've had a few highlights this week. First of all when I was playing my mate Jimmy at the Wii, Mum unexpectedly brought back my Aunty Jan, who is from the Bay of Islands. It was awesome seeing her for the first time in ages. Mum lied to me and said she was going to have coffee with a friend.
The next surprise I had came from Janets good friend Anna Powell. Anna was responsible for the laptop, stereo and internet stick I got from Newstalk ZB. Anna rang me with another big surprise, that she had managed to pull some strings and get me two tickets to ACDC in Auckland!
And since I need a carer, my good mate Brad will be coming. We are so excited, its going to be awesome. A big thanks Anna.
The third incredible highlight was getting back to the pub for the first time since my accident in February, we went to Speights Ale house to celebrate my room mate James birthday. It was great as three friends Cass, Ross and Sonya Baird from Dunedin came too and also amazing being able to enjoy a couple of pints in front of a shield match. And with Mika and Jo-Beth coming on Sunday before Janet leaving, it was a pretty "cher cher bro" weekend.

Other than making pikelets and improving my pushing in my manual, not much has changed in the way of rehab. Hopefully I don't run out of news for next week.

Hey Tim
ReplyDeleteDon't quite know how to work this blog thing so hope you get this message. Its taken me at least 20mins to get this far!
Sounds like your doing really well down in Chch. Glad to hear you finally went to the pub, was that the first drink since your 21st?
Awesome photos of you up and about. (Is that a manual chair i see?) Well done bud!
And you get to go to ACDC. Very jealous.
The spinal unit in Otara is so much fun. I have your mate Ben from ICU in Middlemore. He's doing well. Him and a few others are meeting with Buck Shelford the old AB today.
Keep putting in the hard work Tim. And come for a visit when your back.
Take care
Sarah (your amazing physio from up in Middlemore)
Well life is full of surprises and you are one of them. cant wait to try your pikelets.
