As i live in an isolated regional area with all the cold weather with my depression i am finding life very hard at the moment. I am not new to BB but have not posted for some months but find myself needed help as I am sliding into a dark place which i seem to carry with me…
With not that much support available in my area at night i decided to reactivate contact on these forums as it was helpful then so why not now. STS

Hi Shelly, Wednesday and all my other friends,
Sorry to take so long to respond but i have been so busy with my MS…Neurologist, GP, Rehab, 3 Hospitalisations and a heap of meds. The heat over summer has been tough as the heat drives fatigue which keeps me inside most days which i'm not to happy about…at least i can still go out side thats gotta be a positive!!!
It was a sad day for me a month ago when i needed to sell all my sheep as i can't look after them anyway i was stressing so much about them they needed to go.
My house has been taking longer to finish as i am not capable of completing the work myself so i need to rely on others to help me get it finished, as soon as its done i will put on the market sell up and my son Fabian wants me to move to the Gold Coast with him as he doesn't want me to be so isolated.
Finding it a bit difficult to continue typing.
Hugs to you all.
Wayne xx

Hi Wayne,
So good to hear from you, my you have had quite a time of things. I'm sorry you had to sell your sheep. But it sounds like a good decision. Life does take us on a rickety path doesn't it.
It's so lovely that Fabian wants you to be close to him. It will be big change for you but a hope it will be a good one. I'm pleased that there is someone looking out for you.
Take good care of you.
Hugs, and some tummy tickles for Lucy xx

Hi Wayne. Yes it would have been a sad day indeed when you had to sell all your sheep. Such an effort to build up the stud, only to have to sell.
I know things are really difficult for you right now, and I know you have been busy with all your medical appointments etc. So it is good that you are planning to move to the Gold Coast to be with your son. It is difficult being isolated, so I think you will find life much easier there. And happier too I hope. The climate is certainly much less harsh than where you currently are, and no doubt medical assistance is much more readily accessed. So despite having to lose your farm, there are many advantages to moving to the Gold Coast.
I hope little Lucy is still doing well, and is by your feet right now.

Hello Wayne,
Friendly hug for you.....
I am ever so sorry you needed to sell your sheep. You always appeared like you really loved them or something, especially the little lambs.
Do you think you will move up to the Gold Coast then? Will you get the opportunity to spend time with your other son and your little grandchildren. That will be great possibly seeing all of your grandchildren more often. As you get to see them grow up more and they may see you more. And you might not be so lonely. Plus you are closer to the ocean.
Anyway I just wanted to pop in here and say hello to you. And a hello to little Lucy too. Have you still got her?
It is almost like a brand new chapter is opening up in your life or something. Might be real exciting and special ( because you may spend more time with your loved ones). There are nice fresh breezes at the beach too.
Bye now
Shell xx
PS.... Even watching "Shaun the sheep" could be extra good, if you can watch it with little people.

Hi Shell, Wednesday, Taurus,
Lucy and i hope this post finds you all well, thank you all so so much for your kind words.
Is it cooling down for you all? It has been a bit cooler down here over the last few days so I don't need to sit a few inches away from the air-con, over the last few weeks a couple old friends have travelled down to give me a hand to finish the house off…finally finished the internal wall frames just gyproc and trim to go.
I am so looking forward to moving up with Fabian and close to my other son and grandkids, i just need to get my head around moving into a big city and the suburbs.
My ms is behaving itself lately had an mri last week and good news no extra lesions I need to be happy with that.
Wayne and Lucy..Hugs to you all. x

Hi Shaun,
Thank you for dropping by to let us know how you are going. I loved to read the positive note in your post. You have made so many decision of late, good of you. Fantastic that friends arrived to help out, just love a good friend. And the wonderful news from the MRI scan. The meds must be working well for you great news.
Moving to the city will probably have it's moment but you will find your path in the city world. Hey you may even find a few benefits around the place and meet some new people. Better still what fun living closer to your family and especially the grand children. They will be lucky to have you around and will no doubt keep you on your toes! Take care.
Hugs for you and Lucy. xx

Hi Shelley, THANK YOU…how have you been darl'n I've missed chatting on this forum, I've spent time on the mymsteam site out of the USA it's a very different forum to the BB site. I don't know how i got my house finished but i have and i think it took so much out of me. Things changed so i am not moving to the Gold Coast so i will be moving into Temora which is the local town. As all my medical team is local and i like the town so i thought i'd stay local, i'v sold my property but need to find somewhere to live…trying not to stress more over accomadation.
