firstly a massive thanks to everyone and those donations have been a god sent. the supsa/ qld surfing insurance company arced up about paying, but they have not followed the law by providing a disclosure statement in the first place blah, blah, blah. i'm fighting it with FOS and peasy is going hard at them from his end.


the upshot is it will not be settled for a while so again the donates are priceless.


i'm on to the 8 th week since now. seems like yesterday and at the same time so long ago. progressing along really nicely -walking, running and some light paddling . i can only 80% max hr from now on, well most of the time anyway. i'm surprised they let me run. i tell you running is so much easier to do now- really scares me thinking about what i was putting my self through running pre HA. if you have any pains or doubts when doing something get it checked out

probably 3 weeks away from easing into paddle training, but i think i,m might be able to hit small lm in two weeks.
maybe


because of my financial position i will have to go back to work in at the start of February instead the end of it. while i'll have to be careful, my rate of recovery is stepping up every week so hopefully i'll be fine.


i just thought i would give a update to those that donated and the well wishers and a chance to say thankyou.


ps live for everyday-make everyday count for something, be that better person, listen and take an interest in others, avoid those that can only talk about themselves and keep in touch with your life long old friends


bless you motley lot

Well said LL.
I'm sure you have gone through the "what ifs" over the past 2 months.
Stoked you're on the mend.

one thing that stands out to me- it does matter if your rich or poor, your only as good as your heath. you can be fine one day , next day fighting for your life.

sobering, but so uplifting too - smile i did chrispy

Ain't that the truth^^^.

Good to hear you're in the mend.

Good to here your going well LL .

And it's great for all of us to here your thoughts and talk to people like yourself who have had near death experiences.

As it makes us realise every hour of every day is precious , no matter how ordinary .

Pleased for ya LL . Enjoy !

Good news bro!!

At the rate your going LL ,100% is just around the corner , then you can get on a bender with me and chrispy

Jackson Close today behind the rock at snapper sorry for the out of focus shot with paddle in hand,Lacey in a few weeks.

gee mac, that's pretty hot stuff from jackson.



mate my days of cranking surf is over. take a few on the head and the old hr would be through the roof.


i sound like a busted up old long boarder now- guess i fit right in.




i think i'll just go and have a quick cry now

Good work Lacey, not knowing what's around the corner, it certainly pays to keep in good shape as I guess your fitness level has enabled you to "spring" back relatively quickly considering the seriousness of what happened to you....

Great news and an even greater sentiment.
Its life changing when you come to that realisation..

The Shape I'm in... great choice of theme song LL:

. . . I'm gonna go down by the wa - ter
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
I'll just be looking for my mak - er
And I hear that that's where she's been? Oh!

Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in. . .

Why do people say its life changing, if you need to change your life, you were basically doing and thinking the wrong things anyway. I met a guy who had a heart attack and he said you see and do things differently after you've been confronted with death hey weiry. I said no f***n way because I've always lived it to the max and I give respect to people that deserve it and I've always told people I love them if they are important to me .he just gave me a stupid look,

Yep agree... Live every day as if it would be your last. Love hard, do the things you'd love to do and treat everyone how you'd like them to treat you.

What i ment to say was, its life changing when you realise the true priorities in life. Not money, or power, but thing like friendship, family, your health

Life changing as you never look back

i'm giving you a stupid look too,but i like your outlook.


it's something i was talking about to a really nice lady that did some work for late last year. she rang up today. she has had her illness near death experience. the stuff she was saying i connected with instantly.

you see things differently- its got nothing to do with doing things wrong before hand.

loving and respecting people you like is easy weiry. its the people you don't like

really hard to explain

Like your style Mr Lane . . .
