Remember me?
Remember me & my photos?
I disappeared from the beginning of November but am now about 50% back to normal and hope to get out taking photos again. Where did I disappear to? Well, I was in intense pain and the cause of the pain was totally mis-diagnosed by a doctor. The result? I spent a month with very little sleep, little food and could not lie down to rest or sleep. I lost 12 kilograms. Then came the rescue. On arriving at Palmerston North hospital the real cause of my problem was diagnosed within an hour. I then spent 8 days being treated by the respiratory specialists for an infection in my lungs . They have my deep gratitude and admiration for their speedy diagnosis, treatment and long-term support. I won’t mention what I think about the doctor who told me I had torn a muscle in my back, just that as a result of his diagnosis the infection had a free month to enjoy unrestricted growth in my lungs.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
