Wombat (ex GN) has asked me to pass on that Sue & Phil (Sufil on GN) went to their son's wedding yesterday, Sue is still in hospital but was granted ward leave to attend with Phil.   

Sue's short term memory loss and eyesight still not the best and she is still an inpatient.

FYI.

I don't know these folk personally but I always think how nice it is of them to welcome GN's to their home. Sounds like there are some health issues to face but very happy they were able to attend their sons wedding.

Will you please keep us all in the loop, Vic & Carol (Weevil)

I am sure that a lot of us, who have already met Sue and Phil, would like to help out, if we could

We also respect their privacy

A big hug to Sue and Phil, and congratulations to their son, who we have never met

Only Wombat is in direct contact with Sue and Phil, so have to wait for his feedback, I will certainly post any updates I get from him here, and hope they can get well from their ops (Phil has had a recent stent op but has had complications and been in and out of hospital also, so very hard on them and all the family).

I have not met the son (or his bride) either but I think Jules and Billy have. 

The kindness of Sue and Phil to travelling GN's and other nomads has been tremendous.   I think at the moment they just need space to try to recover from their situation and re-assess their future activities if all goes well.

Like most of us Phil, bits falling off here and there, or being added (eg; around the waist), but still above ground.

Hope things are ok with you all too,

Please see the copy of post, by the family, updating Sue's condition - at least they "sort of" know what the problem is - now to fix it!

 

UPDATE ON SUE'S HEALTH
mum went to Charlie Gardener Hospital yesterday for an eye scan which showed that there is no problem with her eye sight so that is good news she still cant read and things look a bit muddled but that is from the brain damage she has two areas of damage one affects her short term memory and the other affects how her brain interprets what she sees
Even tho she cant see to answer the phone if you would like to call and leave a message she has no trouble recognizeing voices and hearing from people will brighten her day
For those that dont have it her number is 0409115812
Thanks

Tracey is reading the posts I think - but I will send it to her - the brain is an amazing machine - it has numerous ways of healing itself - let's all hope this is true for Sue and the family, and friends.

Spoke on messenger to Tracey today, she passed on the good wishes, and remembered the people, and us, but can't remember that we are over here, and were at her place, when she fell ill - so it is short term memory - remember the movie - "50 First Dates" Drew Barrymore and - can't remember his name.

I first met Sue and Phil about 6 years ago when they were managing a farm stay place near Avoca Victoria.

We had a very pleasant few days and a couple of great happy hours there.

Sorry to hear about Sue's illness and wish both of them all the best and hope she gets back to normal very soon.

 I have been informed by my wife, that Sue left hospital on 27 October, and is now at home

My wife obtained this information from facebook

As I have never been on facebook, I can not add any more than that

Yes Sue has returned home, but has still to do lots of therapy and hard work yet. Hoping to get up and visit soon.

Good to hear Sue is at home. a better environment to help with memory issues.
I did try the FB link that was earlier noted by Weevil, but didn't have much luck - I am not very techy.
Thanks for the update guys

Met up with Sue and Phil, approximately 20th September, (about one week ago)

With Sue's permission, I am happy to report that she is looking fine, feeling OK, and on the mend

Her recovery is not yet complete, as she still has, a bit of memory loss, and is not yet reading

Phil is thinking of taking her, to the Nambung Country Music Festival, near Cervantes 25th to 28th October
