IF IT WASNT TRUE IT WOULD BE FUNNY

I post a bit on this site because I am a staunch Parra supporter. So I have taken a bit of a setback lately. On the 06/02/2020 I was driving and blacked out/ heart attack , veered off the road and hit a pole ,writing off my car , almost running over a off duty Paramedic walking down the footpath. The Paramedic pulls me out of the car and resuscitates me and here I am still standing.Being 62 I don't believe I am that old.Going back a ways I was 18 when I drowned and was pulled from the surf and resuscitated. At 18.5 yrs.' I tempted the gods again when I took a strong electric shock which threw me 15feet/ I landed on my feet and kept on working. At 19 yrs old I was bashed by 4 men who didn't like the fact that my girlfriend was a prostitute and she stopped living with her pimp to live with me. The first I new of that was when a man pulled out a revolver and threatened me on the street. I pretty much clubbed him senseless with it. Anyway , his mates caught up with me.3 weeks in hospital for me. Anyone who knows their RL history - one of the 4 men was a cousin of a South Sydney player - this man had shot a policeman.It took me a while to settle down and I thought it was the go to drink 1.5 bottles of Scotch and go to bed straight. I didn't know I was killing myself. The Scotch damaged my Liver and now my Liver doesn't like to process the Cholesterol. So this heart attack is number 2 - the last one was 5 yrs ago.Life goes on. I run 3 klm a day , walk the dog a couple more. Its as though nothing has happened. Oh yes it has. I do more exercise now.So my Heart Specialist has me on 4 months suspension of work. Ok fair enough. So the Virus comes around. So what you ask?. I apply for Medical Benefits. I start the application on 12/02/2020 and when they finally get to it , 23/03/2020, they tell me they don't have Medical Benefits anymore after 20/02/2020 and now I need to reapply on Newstart. Newstart says that my application should finish processing on 15/04/2020. 7 weeks now no income.So getting back to my story. I nearly run over the Paramedic who revives me. And sincerely I thank him. Why have I been bought back this time?. My wife says I am too stubborn to die or that the way I am going to die hasn't been invented yet. Funnily enough I told my doctor that I think there is a court case in there somewhere, all I have to do is prove that I was going to be better off dead.I'm not going anywhere until Parra wins another premiership.

  • Hi Don . Thanks for sharing your story . Life has been tough for you mate and I wish you well  . So you were working up until the car accident in February? 

  • Good on you Don you tough bastard. You survived all those things but it looks like the bureaucratic red tape might do you in.

  • Geez mate, they say things come in threes...I think you broke that rule. Anyway, hope you're going ok, and get by until the money starts flowing your way again.

    • Thaks for the reply Poppa. Its good to see someone with the strength to talk about their beleifs. I am right there with you Poppa, I am Spiritual also.

      I was seperated from my family when I was 3 and I lived with the separation anxiety for most of my life. Being a youngster everyone asumed I was a difficult child being unable to bond and make friends. The State didnt care about our mental health and abandoned us once we turnes 18 to walk this Earth alone. I have a petition in at the NSW Attornie Generals Office petitioning for the State Wards as we speak.

      When I was 22 I met the love of my life. Sadly she was killed in a auto accident 3 yrs later. I learned the hard way that nothing was forever.

      I married for all the wrong reasons. Fortunatly I have 3 great adult children and 8 grand children.

      I took up Meditation and eventually grew apart for wife number one. I became greatly Spiritually aware.

      I eventually remarried to a Phillipino woman with 2 children. I realised that my greatest desire was to give someone else a better life. I also offer guidance to people who may or maynot want it. The Spiritual journey is a private journey often by self worth issues, such as the ones I have.

      My wife accepts that i talk about other realms and think in a manner that most poeple would be put into a Asylum for. You have a strong background Poppa, in Spirituallity. Through Meditation I have been given insights , met Spirit Guides and forefathers. In my darkest hours I have had visits at the foot of my bed from my forefathers and lain in my bed and been comforted with hugs.

      So I say this to you Poppa its up to you. Whats normal for me is not necessarily normal for you.

      How far do you want to go , how much are you prepared to be closer and how close do you dare to be?

      Listen to Doreen Virtues Colour Meditation for everynight for 30 days at least.It is a guided Meditation that goes for 28 Min. You will never be the same person in 1 month. If you stop you will come back to your current level, except you will know that if you dare , there is a journey that awaits you.

  • No funny enough. I normally work 7 days a week but this day I was out to get some bits and peices.

    Didnt feel any pain. Just a megga sweat.

    Being dead is the same as sleeping. It only took 3 compressions to get me started. Then I stopped beating at the hospital again. Noone knows why.

    God I hope he didnt give me the kiss of life. I may never stop brushing my teeth

  • So what do you do in your spare time don?

    Are you Swiss by any chance?

  • This blog got me thinking.

    Everyone has a story, some good, some bad and at times people see the need to share theirs for whatever reason.

    One day each year we are supposed to say to all and sundry R U OK, so why not on other days?

    Some of us feel like we are having a whinge when we open up about some of the not so delicious moments in our lives while others may simply need a bit of reassurance that things will mostl likely improve with persistence.

    Thanks for sharing this Don, and if I was to give you one piece to take with you I would say - Keep smiling, because once you lose the ability to smile (or laugh) you have lost absolutely everything.

    Well done mate.

     

    • Great post col.

SULI - NO THANKS

3 runs, 4 tackles and one bad miss that led to a try in Dragons v Sharks game today. Cumbersome at best. Centres need speed and he doesn't have it. Hoping that the rumours about him signing are wrong.
