March 10, 2013 — HeadlessWell another weekend has past in our world, with a new set of adventures.
Ant woke on Saturday morning following a standard night of lack of sleep. Unfortunately his balance was not flash, and he was dragging his left foot when walking. We have made the decision to move ourselves to the down stairs bedroom for his safety and my peace of mind. I pop across town to NM to grab a walking frame for Ant, while this is useful it also proves to be a little interesting as Wilson doesn’t always want to be helpful. Had planned to head to the V8s today, but flag this due to Ants ‘wobbles’, and have a day at home. Ro and Andy come over for afternoon drinks and nibbles, and end up staying for dinner (great to catch up!) and watch the rugby with us. Kids spend the evening playing footy in the back yard, love the warm evenings.
Sunday Ants balance is a little better than yesterday. Get up and organised, Jacob is part of a team having a friendly footy game against St Bedes. Head to Halswell to meet up with all, and then all head over to St Bedes. Get there, Ants head pain is quickly getting worse. Just prior to kick off we make the decision to take him home (thanks Nutty for having the boys for us). Get home and Ant goes for a lay down as his pain has gone from a 4-6 to about an 8, I then spend the next two hours getting his pain under control (and baking choc chip cookies!). Needless to say, when Ant appeared in the kitchen (as the first tray had just come out of the oven – fresh baking can’t keep him down, especially choc chip cookies!), he looked far better than when we had got homej.
Nutty appears with boys, a great win we hear!! Just sorry we missed their first game of the season, but that’s just the way of things some days. Feed all and then head down to Halswell for Lachlan’s footy trial and for Ant to catch up with his team who are also playing a friendly today. I run away for a wee bit with Jacob, head back to find Ant, Craig, Shane, Guy and Fish having a fat chat in the club room bar! Giving each other the normal amount of stick! Eventually we head for home for a low key evening. Hope you have all had a great weekend, and that the week ahead is smooth running! Take care.
Sue with some sub-editing by me!
Kia Kaha.

Thinking of you frequently and praying for you regularly. Admiring your battle and would love it if you were able to make it up here for a rest in Golden Bay. Hope you still have good neigbours in our old place.

A zimmer frame woohoo – flashing lights and a horn are very necessary accessories I think……. No seriously whatever it takes to keep you moving has got to be a good thing.

Fantastic weekend reporting by Sue…….watch out Sue, Tony may just keep you on!
We are fully into football trials too, I wonder if we will have another rival game against Jacob or Lachie this season.
Glad your balance improved as Sunday went on…..it must have been those chocolate chip cookies!!!
Catch up soon. Take care.
