    Hello all .. I apologies for the lack of updates on this page.. we have been laying low and trying to get on with our lives despite Dave still been in incredible pain and still no diagnosis… we are at crunch time.. financially we have to make decisions that will effect lots of lives…

    Once again we cannot express or thank everyone enough for your generosity..

    Dave is once again in a hospital bed, medication, pain, no idea where to next.. his condition has steadily got worse. He is still unable to work which mentally is taking a toll on not only him but my mental and physical health also …

    I am pleading with you all to please please share share share this page as it will close soon..

    Much aroha from my family to all of you..🥹❤️‍🩹

    Hi everyone..

    1st of March 2023.. wow.. what a year already..

    first of all thank you to all for the generous donations… now with the loss of our business this will help immensely…

    Unfortunately we are no further along in our journey to diagnose Dave.. He is home now which we are grateful for but the pain gets extreme and we end up back in ED for the day and get sent home with another barrage of drugs for a few days.. the surgical and medical teams feel there is nothing else they can do for him at present. They have referred him to the pain team which could take up to 9 months!!! The private surgeon we have finally got a referral too was on the team that suggested he have a cortisone blocker put in his gut so he is also of no use to us a present as he suggests Dave needs to wait to see if it helps the pain which could take up to 6 weeks😳

    We are in the process of selling our truck and anything else we don't really need so please if you see my posts, share away..

    I know things are tough for alot of people out there at present and I have treid to support many myself, but if we could ask you all to keep sharing this for us, we will be eternally grateful🥹

    Bless you all for your aroha for us❤️

    I would really love to have this cheeky as dude back as in the pic❤️🥹

      Hi Dave, Ihavent not a donation but really understand the road your going down. Diagnosed approx 12yrs ago as chronic pain, never found a cause by WHANGAREI AND AUCKLAND HOSPITAL. Eventually seen by Chronic Pain Team Whangarei and referred on by them to Auckland, what a joke is all I can say. Icould have been on slow release tramadol etc. It is a hard road to go down, once given a label of this. Iam on my own as many dealing with this cond,no-one understands as Ilook well. Ijust take natural products to keep well. So dont relye on expecting much from Chronic Pain Team, First start when you see them gives you hope thats for sure. Good luck going ahead. Hopefully its different for you. They are all good at prescribing meds with horific side effects. Nurses were fantastic and understanding.

    Just again we have no words to say how much the aroha given is blown us away.. yesterday the surgeons put a blocker in Daves tummy at the site of the pain.. its essentially just a cortisone so a temporary fix.. they discharged him today as they need the bed.. I understand.. I cant thank the nurses enough on his ward for their care.. but still… we are no further along on to what is causing Dave’s pain.. we are advised yo come back to ED if pain persists .. and start the process all over again.. Dave is a broken man.. he is 47 and using a super stroller to walk.. we have lost our business..our family is so tired..We have been able to get through this because of all of you.. thank you, thank you, thank you🥹❤️

    WOW! Again we are soooo very humbled by all the love.. Dave is not home as yet.. he will be spending more time in hospital so they can get his other issues sorted that have been as a result of too much medication.. He would love a visit or a ph call or txt if you have a free minute.. pm me on my fb page for his cell number and room number..

    We are having to make a decision to put our business on hold for awhile until such time Dave is back to being Dave. We are gutted as we have worked really hard to make Dave’ll Do It Ltd a success.. please keep sharing and maybe we can stay in business..

    Our love to you all .. ❤️

    Dave’s health hasnt really improved but we are hopefully moving forward with a different team of doctors.. also some information from a donor has given us a new direction to look at.. a specialist … thank you to that person.. I will continue to update you all now I have worked out how!

    I hope everyone is safe out there in this terrible cyclone! ❤️
