Hey I don't mean to sound disrespectful.. And do appreciate the get well notes and stuff..
I have a problem when people feel sorry... Its the last thing I want people to feel.. **** happens.. 50 yrs ago I would be coming to the end of my life.. Be use of these sorts of things.
When I was in hospital.. Posts way back.. I was up into civvies folded pj at 7am made bed sit up in chair have breakfast, shower shave.. And out for a walk.. Well bit of a shuffle.
I was nearly only one.. The other a Dutch tourist who had a heart attack or something while hiking back country.. The rest mopped around feeling sry for themselves and their visitors felt sry for them...

As to tax payer to pay for lawns.. Grandson wants to go to a scout jamboree.. He's earning money...
Having being a bit disabled for 40 od yrs hadn't stopped me doing stuff.. I just figure out another way to do it.. Usually easier faster and more efficient..
If I need help I will ask.. Eg today needed help to put the compression sock on.
Yeah paid taxes.. Yeah will apply for help If I genuinely can't figure out away to do it my self.. Which is very rare.. Oh yeah got a disabity card that only use if crook.. That's not free.
I have little time for those who put their hand out just cause it's there.. And that's a huge problem in our modern society.. People become dependent rather thsn encouraged to be independent..

No disrespect.. If I didn't have such a very much arogante bull headed attitude then I'm sure I would not be where I am today..

Finished that knife.. On the leather strop scarry sharp.. Nice steel.
Anyway wife home and going for a ride up the toad for milk fresh veggies and stuff..

Not a lot happening over last couple days.. Just getting sick of not being able to reach for or lift basic stuff..
Even sitting on a coach and putting one's arm up across the back is a no no.
Being able to turn or lay on one's side to sleep is getting easier.. For short periods
Get to early afternoon and the eyes just want to go to sleep. Body and brain don't. If do go for a Nanna nap then sleeping at night is effected..
Tried to cut last night's 1 am paracetamol.. Ended up taking around 4am.
Chest muscles hurt.. To tough and when in the car/truck.
Have to have a folded towel under the seat belt, but hold it like a bra to support the muscles on vibrations and bumps.
The leg wound is just a little burn in small parts.. If one bothers to take notice, the chest wound more so and breast bone sort of aches.
Just wish it would all stop being sort for a while.. Sick of it.
Think this is the real feeling bit down kicking in now.

Doing a lot walking, around home, go shopping with the wife, looking at ensuites and kitchettes for the end bedroom.
Run out of good knives to form good edges and sharpen
Anyone local want me to show them how, and how to maintain would be good.. About an hr including fresh ground flat white..
Went around the house with the feather duster..he other dsy Can't use the vacuum cleaner, mop, take out rubbish.. Can load dishwasher not unload or do dishes.
Got a reasonable ice box the other week, still haven't seen if fits into the cabin yet.. Not allowed to climb ladders.
Did fix the shower head the other day.. Small kitchen ladder.. Got into big trouble. But took it slow easy and used a lot of day time..
I hate walking unless there is a purpose to it.. Getting the truck and trailer at the ramp, hunting, mowing the lawn..
Never used one of those walking machines.. Wife has one so thinking maybe setup the 10" tab on it, find a program to binge watch on netfixs or light box.. See if that works??.

So 3 weeks in. Drive in 6 weeks..3 weeks away If get doc clearance...
Doesn't look as time is going to fly past..
And another 6 weeks after that before go fishing..

Oh yeah wife has a sick sense of humour.. She went shopping around op shops with her girlfriends and brought this for me.
Will load pic in a few minutes

Thanks to the guys dropping in for a coffee every now and then.. Can't drive for about another month
Can't even do dishes. But lot walking.
Knives have to do careful while missus not around
Bored.
And sick of sleepless nights feeling tired and sore bloody chest. Leg pretty well ok now.. It think about it I notice something every now and then. So that's all good.

Not taking Nanna naps to help to get at least best night sleep as possible.
Also if one messes up a go to bed at night and early wake up routine it messes up sleep.
Most ppl who have sleep issues don't have good sleep routines
My problem is roll over hurt wake up then re config pillows to sleep in new position.

Wind dropped, look at Waikato bar.. Live feed.. 1/2 tide incoming and flat.. Look up from my cuppa, sitting on the deck boat rightin front of me saying "let's go.. NOW"

Fish always bite m8... yet to have a trip with no feed..
