But I feel much more confident about where we are heading and the things we will be going through. Karen I'm in NSW on the hunter valley. We were in Townsville Nth Qld but after Steve's diagnoses we decided to sell up and head back to our family in NSW. So in the space of about 6 weeks we got his diagnoses, sold our house and took off on a 4 day, 2500km drive with 2 german shepherds and a cat in the car. Since we've been here it's been all go as well so as you can imagine it's been exhausting and extremely cold. Nice to meet another Aussie on here although I think you are all amazing.
