*update from Levonne*
21 July 2020
It’s a bit hard to give an update with all that’s been going on and having had a bit of a decline, I suppose. My walking gait has changed a bit and perhaps not always noticeable from the outside, it is to me, my family and the trained eye.
Your donations and words of encouragement have certainly helped. It has freed up cash to buy supplements, exercise equipment and buy the odd program or summit – there are plenty of those, and continue to see health professionals, like the chiropractor and physio for instance. It has been an enormous help – and continues to be - and I’m hugely grateful.
We are learning a lot about can and won’t be done in terms of our house and why caregivers often speak out in this country. At some stage we might have to buy a new flat level home and manage my son’s schooling and keep him in the city in which we choose to live. I’ve had loads of family time, with a reunion up north at Christmas and a few nights in Taupo these school holidays with my immediate family.
Unfortunately, we haven’t had a great success with our dogs having lost one due to ill health back in October and having to rehome her replacement because he was a bit naughty and I couldn’t retrieve our belongings quickly enough from under the dining room table! Fortunately, my son and husband got to spend some time with him this weekend where he’s undergoing deer hunting training in the bush.
I’ve been thinking about HP lately and I know you’ve gone through a lot of changes lately. I’ve been thinking about the ‘can do’ attitude and when I feel low about the positivity you exude and I think ‘yeah, I’ll have some of that!’ I’m eternally grateful to Emma Payne, Oliver Hill, my manager, Anna Xu, and you all.
Love
Levonne
