    ok obt’s this is something im finding hard to deal with , iv kept a lot of this to myself but I have let you know of some of my problems [ health ].

    iv had a weight problem due to finding out iv got thyroid problems, need surgery on my back due to being crushed by a bull while working up north , which involves bottom 5 vertibrates needing to be fused together and 3 of the vertebrates needs to be broken in half so they can grind the spurs out that are jabbing in my spinal cord [ havnt had it done yet ], due to being stubbom pig headed iv kept workn with the help of pain killers [ which iv kept hidden ]and a tone of nurfin which iv now got nurifin toxicity which was the cause of my thyriod problems and a irregualer heat beat which cause a miner heart attack last yr , iv been struggling bad for the past 14months with all my problems and found out today iv now got to go into hospital and have my irregualer heart beat shocked to try and get it back to normal , iv been told im a high risk for stroke and heart attacks due to my problems and the tablets im on, if they can get my heart back to normal beating I can get off some of these shit tables that are causing other problems now aswell

    iv been feeling pretty down and talking to family and friends about it has been advised and that’s what im now doing im talking to my family , my wife and all you guys

    +1 for all the above.
    All been said Wolfe.

    As most here know I’ve vented my share of rants.

    Some out there that don’t know what it’s like to suffer with a chronic health issue think and say at times you just want attention or pity. Or some even imply you are putting it on.

    Sometimes we just want some understanding of why we are the way we are or why we may react the way we do at times.

    Bottling it up is one if not the worst things to do.

    Most of the obt crew have had to deal with hardship at some point in their enduro ride that is life.

    You have already seen our readiness to listen, I’m sure I speak for everyone that has replied so far, feel free to PM any one of us.

    We may not have anything more to offer than a listening ear. But often that alone can help us cope.

    Nothing worse than thinking you’re alone.

    There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and I know personally sometimes it doesn’t seem real bright.
    As long as you have family and friends around ya you have something to fight for.

    if ya ever up Rockhampton way look me up

    Cheers Harold
