From the Horses Mouth

Hi All,
I’m going to gloss it up a bit and tell you how spoilt i am here in my 6 star accommodations. Where else can you stay and not even have to put yourself to bed. Progress is a great thing and until yesterday I was powering ahead to the point of being able to finally transfer from wheelchair to bed without the use of a hoist just using my new learned skill of self transferring. Unfortunately a small mishap occurred while transferring landing me knees first on the floor. I quickly directed the assisting nurse to get help and with the push of the emergency button 10 or more nurses arrived on the scene in seconds. I was getting into bed to go for a kidney xray at the time, the doctor after this incident organised xrays to be taken of my knees as well (no reports back yet). If there was anything wrong with my knees which I’m confident there is not, I’m sure the staff would have advised me.

All that aside my health is progressing well allowing me to meet goals set for me to go home. We, Julie, Rebecca and myself had a meeting with the Doctor, Ot, Physio, etc to discuss a discharge date, this will see me home for Christmas all going well.

Home reno’s are taking place and the pressure will be on family and friends to have our home ready for my return, this is a big ask as the work has only just begun. Julie’s brother John Fitzgerald is building and co-ordinating the reno’s and many thanks to John, family and friends that are giving their time and resources to get the job done.

It still blows me away the amount of support and generosity my family and I have and are receiving from all. Upon my return I hope to repay in some or form.
Love to all
Flyan Bryan
