Back Home

I arrived back home late on Monday. I went out to Wauchope (NSW and did a bit of doggie food (essential) shopping...bought a bunch of native flowers and went out to the beautiful cemetery at Wauchope. It really is beautiful. There are great whispering pines all about it and the sun just strobes gently between them. Out there there is a remarkable sense of peace and beauty... someone must have realised the incredible beauty of this place some time way back and those of us with relatives there appreciate the special feeling of the place. Of course I know Don is not there... I am not that stupid...but for me to go there with flowers, and to sit for a while and contemplate without phones ringing and all of that is good.

Then out to Beechwood (NSW) I know there is a Beechwood in Victoria...and here I found my lovely smiling big red kelpie, the very handsome Thorn...who had became enamoured or the two other kelpies the people had...but not only that he had spent a considerable amount of time pushing a big chubby black and white cat about the place with his nose... but still with all this excitement he was pleased to see me...

I am very fond of this doggie.

So I am back now. I do feel a bit stronger inside. Many tears shed with the girls...so much stuff others don't know about...silly internal family things...

I have begun to work on putting all that happened together...Don deserves that...there may be no justice on earth and we all acknowledge that... but to stop the movie reel inside our heads we are going to try to ensure that no other Quadriplegic is treated like the animal Don's so called "specialist" treated him as. And he did because we saw it and went through the days with him.

But apart from that I had a good time with the girls... Melissa was so sick...sick as a dog...so I left her with a big lamb stew..pearl barley, turnips, swedes, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkin, peas, brussel sprouts about two kgs of diced lamb ( organic) lots of garlic...etc etc etc...and she ate that stew for about three days...she is better now so who knows...might have been mum's cooking or the echinachea or mega vit c....

At Alison's...I w as worried I may have brought the flu with me but not so. So we had a very relaxed time. The highlight of which was FREE! We spent an afternoon at the Art Museum near South Melbourne...It was just amazing. Ancient Egyptian, Sumerian, Greek, Roman stuff just so amazing..and then art from the 13th century down to today. I have to admit I lost interest after about 1900... sorry to all those who appreciate modern art. I do not.

We both went about going "wow!" and meaning it.

So back home now. My lovely Don is everywhere...and I can deal with how I feel. I know he is okay...not suffering...out of the shit so to speak...
