Shape i'm in

firstly a massive thanks to everyone and those donations have been a god sent. the supsa/ qld surfing insurance company arced up about paying, but they have not followed the law by providing a disclosure statement in the first place blah, blah, blah. i'm fighting it with FOS and peasy is going hard at them from his end.


the upshot is it will not be settled for a while so again the donates are priceless.


i'm on to the 8 th week since now. seems like yesterday and at the same time so long ago. progressing along really nicely -walking, running and some light paddling . i can only 80% max hr from now on, well most of the time anyway. i'm surprised they let me run. i tell you running is so much easier to do now- really scares me thinking about what i was putting my self through running pre HA. if you have any pains or doubts when doing something get it checked out

probably 3 weeks away from easing into paddle training, but i think i,m might be able to hit small lm in two weeks.
maybe


because of my financial position i will have to go back to work in at the start of February instead the end of it. while i'll have to be careful, my rate of recovery is stepping up every week so hopefully i'll be fine.


i just thought i would give a update to those that donated and the well wishers and a chance to say thankyou.


ps live for everyday-make everyday count for something, be that better person, listen and take an interest in others, avoid those that can only talk about themselves and keep in touch with your life long old friends


bless you motley lot

Well said LL.
I'm sure you have gone through the "what ifs" over the past 2 months.
Stoked you're on the mend.
I miss the BBQ shots.

Ain't that the truth^^^.

Good to hear you're in the mend.

At the rate your going LL ,100% is just around the corner , then you can get on a bender with me and chrispy

That's the aim-not haha

Jackson Close today behind the rock at snapper sorry for the out of focus shot with paddle in hand,Lacey in a few weeks.

Good work Lacey, not knowing what's around the corner, it certainly pays to keep in good shape as I guess your fitness level has enabled you to "spring" back relatively quickly considering the seriousness of what happened to you....

The Shape I'm in... great choice of theme song LL:

. . . I'm gonna go down by the wa - ter
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
I'll just be looking for my mak - er
And I hear that that's where she's been? Oh!

Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in. . .

Why do people say its life changing, if you need to change your life, you were basically doing and thinking the wrong things anyway. I met a guy who had a heart attack and he said you see and do things differently after you've been confronted with death hey weiry. I said no f***n way because I've always lived it to the max and I give respect to people that deserve it and I've always told people I love them if they are important to me .he just gave me a stupid look,

Yep agree... Live every day as if it would be your last. Love hard, do the things you'd love to do and treat everyone how you'd like them to treat you.

i'm giving you a stupid look too,but i like your outlook.


it's something i was talking about to a really nice lady that did some work for late last year. she rang up today. she has had her illness near death experience. the stuff she was saying i connected with instantly.

you see things differently- its got nothing to do with doing things wrong before hand.

loving and respecting people you like is easy weiry. its the people you don't like

really hard to explain

weiry, there's people i don't like, another i've decided to cut away. but i'll try to do what have to do in a considered way. life's too short to be spent wasting on hate too
