We're moving back to hervey Bay!


It's day 104! I have finished all my tests, although I haven't got all the results back. We will be seeing Doc Schoozenbootz on July 6th, a week tomorrow to get final results and in his words "kick my scrawny ass out of Brisbane". We were all set to go this Friday so we got the doc's okay to go to HB for 6 days and come back next Thursday for the big send off. We've packed up all our stuff and Gene will bring the truck Tommorow early and then after i do clinic with replacement doc then we load and go.

Callum and Shinny are coming as well so we will have two vehicles, a dog, Joyce and I..... a big party all the way to HB!

I'm feeling a little tiried but I am down to the wire re my red cells and I think I may be getting some tomorrow which will put a snag in things but I was 96 last tuesday and doc wanted to wait till Friday to see if I grow some of my own. The treshold has been 100 outside of hospital and 90 while in the hospital but inside they have better access to me and more checks. We'll see what's the go tomorrow.

Bluey has been a little trooper these past few days working to get us packed. I did my part but she was excellent. We discovered we do have two different styles of packing and because we started early we had time to 'take time' and we discussed how we approach it. She's a drift around and put like things together kind and I'm a get an entire room in one box kind of packer.... but we had fun! We went out and got "one last round"of boxes about three times. Where did all this stuff come from! Callum was here for the day today and he was a treasure in the final day of packing we easily got it done. I just have the computers and broadband to pack and then we're good to go.

We will be offline for about 24 hours so our mobiles will be the way to get us +61418 182 205 for me and +61418 287 991

We have a big July 1st planned at the Wright Mckays Sunday and Karen and Chris from Sydney are staying over with us Sunday night talk about getting back in to the swing! Joyce starts back to work on Monday.

more later
