I am loving these steroids. I have been more mobile in the last 4 days than I have been in the last 5 months. The swelling on my sternum has gone down enormously, the pain has really settled and I am able to walk with very little discomfort. I even broke out into a short sprint the other day (about 30 metres) at about 4km per hour, felt the wind rushing through my hair for the first time in a long time. The thrill.
I am feeling wired. Asleep at 1-2am, up at 5:00am and ready for work. Hyper during the day apart from a nanna nap if I need it. This is the good life. It is going 6am at the moment and I am just about to head into the workshop to get an order out. Did the same yesterday with Dad. I was so excited by the day. Working with my dad, feeling pretty mobile and getting an impressive amount of work done was very positive for me. Came home buzzing.
Damian headed home on Monday night about 1am bound for China. Miss him already and I feel honored to have such a strong ‘brotherhood’ of guys that have helped us get through this stage. We have been so well looked after, by everyone really, over this month that it will always remain a pivotal time in our lives. We now have friends staying from Darwin for the week, then Lib’s folks are coming over for the next two weeks. We have never felt alone through all this.
I have got my first appointment with radiology this Thursday to get marked up and slotted into a time slot for the next month or so. Really looking forward to some action being taken, although I kind of feel like I am getting better all the time with these drugs. I am on steroids, anti-gout meds, painkillers, anti-reflux, anti-inflamatries and the odd sleeping tablet to settle me down at night. Fantastic combination.
We have been experiencing some technical difficulties with our computer over this week too, aparently due to a virus checker being missing from my computer for about 11 months (saved a lot of money by not renewing it). Things are slow now and shutting down. Could just be sympathy pains.

Great to hear you are doing so well. Must be hard to sneak around at night with all them pills rattling around inside, guess you can’t do anything without Elizabeth hearing you.Mind you, most men would say they can’t do anythig without their wives finding out.
It’s nice to know God always provides,and He has done that for you and Elizabeth in the way of so many wonderful friends and family who have rallied around to be there for you. Must be a good feeling to know so many love and care about you.I was talking to Milanda today,thought some of us young wipper snippers might call in for a visit sometime.Now that ought to make your day.
Well keep up the possitve attitude and keep them pills rattling.
Love and God Bless

Whatever happened to the ‘just say NO to drugs’ campaign? You’ll be in rehab after this…. =]
