Hell without you here Keith l am going to feel awfull lonely so dont you go anywhere. Your the only guy here who understands me or is like me. You start making plans for the next five years and use your mind to fight it. You can win. I know you can. I want that trip over to see you and spend time together so dont you let me down. Besides only the good die young so you have a long time to go. Dont believe the doctorā¦he pulled the wrong diagnosis out of the jarā¦stupid bastard. You make a pact with me that we will have time together next summer and l bet you will make it! On a seryarse note What Mal said about healing vibes is a point. I dont think l ever said it but l come from a family named Romery and they were gypsys and there is power in positive thinking and the mind is a powerful tool over life and death. You choose life and l will do my best to help you through it even from afar. There are a few arseholes here who will scoff at me but itās a side of me that no one knows. So be positive and know that someoneās on your side as we aināt finished yet. When you are in hospital you may experience something you consider weird, an inspiration, it is at that point of time you will have to make a choiceā¦make the right one. Let me know if you have that strange experience - good luck buddy till we meet again.

All the best @kiwikeith, I really hope they can give you a bit more time. We donāt want to see you disappear anytime soon! Give me a shout if you fancy a visitor while youāre in Chch if youāre feeling up to being social after theyāve finished prodding and poking you.

Donāt you go laying that .45-70 down just yet, use that bloody thing as a walking stick if you have to to drag your arse back out of that hospital bed. Just dig your heals in & tell those quacks that youāre not gonna roll over.

Like everyone else has said, keep up the positive thoughts. The mind is a bloody powerful thing. I really enjoy reading your stories and seeing the photos so please put some more up when you get out on your next adventure. All the best to you Keith.

Hi all.
I am Keithās daughter, I am passing on all your lovely messages while he is over this side of the hill. Donāt worry he is giving his medical team heaps of his lewd comments and keeping them on their toes. Keep the love pouring in for him.

Do you mean to say he has a daughter - he didnt tell me when he was down otherwise I would have wanted to meet her after all if she takes after him she will be a good keen woman. Bugger.

By jingos you are the good keen girl arent youā¦it sure is a pity that you arent into wild sex, drowning in whisky, outdoor living, shooting and gold mining crazy old 70 year olds with cheeky disposition who are married but a bit errant in their ways. Nice photos. I am not sure if l can climb peaks now. When l am lying in bed in my mind l can do anything but when l get there the body rebels.
Keep us posted as to Keithās progressā¦l feel sad now that l never got across to visit when he asked me to.

Generally my motto is never say never, but my hubby might have a few objections to that proposition.
Heading to hospital right now to see him, will pass the sentiments on.
