It is 10 years today on her Birthday that my loving wife Sue passed away, love her, miss her and will always be married to her...............................in a very strange mood at the moment, just hope that it does turn to crap
Well today pretty much nailed the Simpson trip to the "ya farkin dreaming" list.
After getting Off the phone to the specialist regarding my ruptured varicose vein Its pretty much blowen any chance of saving enough to Ready the Patrol and save for the trip.
I'm extremely disappointed. Was really looking forward to it.
I can't have stitches holding the vein together for much longer so it has to be done.
1 step forward, 2 back...
Hang in the Westy, you are only young mate.............everything will come together for you.
Not good news, Kallen. Sorry to hear, mate. After you have healed there will be other trips to look forward too.
Your young well I think you are wait till you get some years on you and "stuff" just starts dropping off lol
You'll look back on all this in time and laugh I'm sure of it.
@ Doggy and ET my MOL was having a heart attack while I slept one night, 2 weeks in ICU and a few stents.
and I have her back. I was a dribbling mess and don't know how I would of coped, Strength to you both.
they are never far away, I'm sure of that
yep its all about now kallen, give it time mate something else will come along to make this insignificant, good luck mate. my offside at work just had her viens stripped and she says its much better now :)
Yea I opted for the dissolving of them. My dad has spider veins, and mum had varicose veins. So I was screwed from day dot.. Lol
Mum had her veins stripped but came back a few years later.
This is a new technique where they inject this stuff which dissolves the vein so I'll have a full length compression tube On for 2 months while my leg rids the swelling..
Going yo be fun..
But your right. I'll meet ya all one day..
Having a hard time of late with chronic pain in my neck and shoulders, which is now spreading to the rest of of my joints.............. waiting to see a specialist, so not goin to get into it right now. But fark me sideways it's doing me head in.
Pain is very hard to deal with and sometimes you are very short with ppl around you,
All I can suggest is hot /cold compress's on the painful area. As that's about the only thing I've found to give a little relief.
Asprin is a great anti inflammatory, take as directed.
Maybe High Lander could shed a bit more light on the subject.
Alcohol is not a medicine, it may make matters worse.
Chin up Clunk eh Bloke
I hope the specialist has some good answers for you, Clunk.
Dose up on nurofen helps me when it starts to rip through the neck and shoulders....
So how is everyone today??
I've been up and down a little.
Think I'm up for a struggle ahead though.
Just been taken Off shift for the foreseeable future. Was really liking that extra few hundred a week with the loading. Gave a nice safety net..
Up side is a little more shed time so will hopefully be able to smash out a few projects and bloody finish BenK's bbq plates!!! Lol
And I can car pool again. Only 1/3 the cost of running the old q everyday.
But my leg seems to be on the mend.
Had a small weap from the stitches thismorning when I adjusted the compression bandage, buy only bleed like I had moved the scab, not liters per minute sorta flow..
Anyway, still trying to find some sorta help with the spending issues.
I think I only just realized while surfing eBay that I'm board.
Living on the farm I always had stuff to do. Wash something, feed animals, repair vehicles or help out..
Now I have nothing.
I need hobbies, but can't find that one that clicks. I really miss the hockey, but my knees won't let that happen..
Miss the rc aeroplanes but family cost won't let me that one.
I've gone Off knife making already. Found it intriguing but didn't click with me.
So any suggestions of a cheap hobby.
I have always thought of archery and bow hunting. I did like the clay shooting back in the day.
I might contact the local archery club and see if the have a come and try day..
But still open to suggestions..
I'm glad your legs are healing, Kallen. 2 months will fly by. Take it from me, it took nearly 10-11 months for my foot to heal, after stepping into a flaming rabbit hole. What about restoring push bikes for underprivileged kids or something along that line as a hobby?
G'day Kallen, have you ever been into home brew mate? Not that stuff in the cans at woolies but real full mash home brewing, its a bloody good hobby to have and for a handy bloke like yourself it doesn't have to cost a fortune, pretty much all the equipment can be home made so there's another hobby right there, build your own home brewery then make the beer than get pissed. Win win win.
Good luck with whatever hobbies you find mate.
Haha. Both very good ideas.
I like your idea MudNut, Its clever and gives something back. Might do something like that when the girls are a little older as a family thing. I don't think they would take giving toys away to Well at their age.
And they old faithful home brew...
Tiss a win win.. But I'm trying to loose weight. Lol.
See how the wife takes it. Tis my birthday in a couple of months..
What about coaching hockey Kallen?

Working shift now makes that sorta thing not possible.
But once the girls are into a sport I'll be into it.
I think we're looking at trying Sophia, nearly 3, at some sort of gymnastics.
She has excellent strength, balance and flexibility..
But I don't think I'll be stepping out in a to-too.. Lol
Get out more 4 wdriving or start fishing. Try gaming
Going fishing with the family for the For the first time in years on Monday.
Know a nice little beach access point along the river which is 4x4 access only, nice and shady and a gradual entry for the kids to swim in..
