Hi Nick, I am so happy for you! Your story is so encouraging. I am

with you on not giving up. I had my 20th surgery. I have one small

spot not wanting to heal. But am doing ok. It is so nice to have

others to talk to that know first hand what this is like.I wish you a

happy holiday to!

G,day Nick

Glad all is well with you. You call 38 hot, that is pleasant to us in

central Queensland. About time you southerners got some hot weather. Been

to Melbourne when it is hot never again, you guys don't get a sea breeze, so

keep the heat to yourself.

Merry Christmas mate, Don't mean to rub it in haha but we will be spending

Christmas Day at a real beach not one of those city beaches.

Sounds so nice to hear about beaches this time of the year. It

snowed all day here. I envy you will be at the beach for Christmas. I

will be content fighting the winter elements here, as long as I am

with my family! You so lucky! Happy Holiday

G,day Glenda

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year. I

envy you guys with snow, that is a real Christmas. It is tradition to go to

the beach and catch up with everyone here. We pretty much just laze around

and eat and drink all day.

Boxing Day is Recovery Day and another day at the beach. Sometimes we just

go to the island for Boxing Day, it depends on how we are feeling.

I hope to one day get to spend Christmas in Ireland. I reckon it will be a

great and exciting place. I would also like to see New York at Christmas

time as they reckon there is a Santa on every street corner.

Take care

Deb (Nick's Mum)
