Another Gary Kelly update
Permalink  

Folks, another update from the man himself, Gary is still battling and if you read on, his odyssey, is at a standstill. Personally I wish him a speedy recovery as I am sure you all do.

 

 

February 12, 2015. Something to ponder. My driver's license is due for renewal in late March '15. One has to attend a registry office in person to be identified and photographed. My appearance is currently much different to what it was 2 years ago. There's no way in the world I'll be able to renew my license - or even resume driving by March.

For one thing, my recovery in respite will take up to 9 weeks (so the doc said today) which leaves 7 to go - the rest of Feb and all of March.

Around the same time - now - insurance, registration, and a repair to the auto choke are also due, amounting to a grand or so. Meanwhile, a guy from Taree is interested in buying PJ.

It's gonna be a while before I'm able to hold a license again (the current one is 5 yrears and all this cancer business has knocked me around quite a bit - I'm nothing like I was in 2010)

So is it back to the drawing board and start again by selling PJ while she's still registered, then using that money as a savings base. I already have a few grand saved. Even if I keep PJ, I can't drive it, and who knows for how long. Gary

Thanks for the update Copper1

Gary is certainly having lots of stuff heaped on him over the next few weeks. Hope he is able to get through it ok.

Gary - think seriously, as you say, you have money tied up in PJ, and it is ongoing costs. So maybe a good idea to sell him while still registered - sometimes things pop up for a reason, you have to grab opportunity with both hands.

Wish there was something we ccould do to help you, but we are thinking of you often, and wishing you get well soon.

Take it easy.

(Thanks Gaz)
