At long last, received clearance from the quacks that I can travel again, albeit at an easy pace and not too far from Home, but it's a start, was starting to believe that last Nov was my last trip. Chest infection has cleared (caused by immune system being down due to Chemo & Radiation), can eat a normal meal again at last (lost 11kg), but I am over the moon, will spend the next few days getting the rig loaded and ready for taking to the Road Nth on Wednesday. Happy Days Ahead

Congratulations John - have a great time and make the most of every minute, but make sure you rest a bit too smile

Hey Bill - I had heart arrhythmia last year and am still on some of the medication but hopefully not for much longer. It was a great day when the cardiologist said I could stop the Warfarin - no more bi-weekly blood tests - I almost threw a party (I have "difficult" veins and blood tests could involve 2 or more people having a go disbelief and blood takers going "oh no" when I walked in the door). Having my heart restarted was interesting hmm

Good News John, hope the trip goes well and keep smiling !

Get well soon Bill and hope you get plenty of rest to catch up on the sleep, I won't bore you with my similar condition but I know it aint nice like Essie said!

Esmarenda, they had me trussed up like xmas tree with all the flashing lights, and the worst was you couldn,t go to a sit down toilet! The next day the head cardioligist said I was alright to go home, and I have to go back for more tests later.Have high blood pressure so have to be careful.

I am reasonably alright as I worked yesterday with no problems.I just have to cut back on the beer and coffee (2 a day, each), and loose some weight.If I take the meds, and don,t go overboard, I should be alright.Thanks for the support.

Great news for you John enjoy every moment and just take it easy. Bill you take care as well just do as the doctor tells you cut down on beer oh no. Helena

gubby · Guru

John fantastic news, you get out there and go for it, but, take time to smell the roses.. wink

Bill it's all that hard fishing you do in that awkward climate.. biggrin Take it easy and get well..

Cruising Granny · Guru

Gee it's all happenin' here!
Good for you John! What a win! You beauty! Off you go, go carefully, and don't forget to have a good time.
Now Bill, who's been a naughty boy then? Take it easy, as it's the only way to take it. Go steady eh? If you don't take care of you , no one else will. That was your warning. Don't give up fishing just yet.
And Florinhill, how exciting! Wahoo, it's all go for the Grey Nomads.
How exciting to learn about everyone's plans, and travels. Not so exciting to learn about the down-sides, but for every down, there's an up.
Let's all keep it up.

bill12 · Guru

Haven,t you heard-old fishermen never die, they only smell that way!I think I will still be fishing until Saint Peter, who was also a fisherman, comes to get me. I shall have to put on some better deoderant.Cool and clear here, 8c to 25c.Having red emporer on the beach for lunch. Don,t freeze too much.........
