Health Update Rhizotomy 2026

Thank you to those who have been praying for me / us… Had 2 rhizotomies to the SI joints and a number of facet joint injections yesterday.  The pain after general was intense and my legs kept giving out, however today was easier. I won’t know for another few weeks if it will give any short term relief. So blessed to have a supportive wife & kids as I recover…and the encourage of our gracious God. Today, I hobbled up to the gate on crutches as someone was picking up a parcel. It was a divine appointment…  I was able …

The socialistic hospital : all things to no one

True story:  Having experienced a severe flare up in pain from a completely different location, I made the mistake of phoning Healthdirect… My reasoning was that, as I had not being doing anything overly strenuous and the pain was not coming from the normal damage areas, I should check it out as it was pretty intense. (I was strongly encouraged by others at this end as last time I left it I had a ruptured appendix…  After rounds of questions, the operator insisted I should get to the Emergency Department. She asked for permission to send an ambulance… “No – it’s …

Post Op – Surgeon Visit 1: Incredible!!

  So I had an appointment with the surgeon the other day. It was INCREDIBLE on so many levels… First and most important, I got to share parts of my testimony and many miraculous events that have led me towards God. Sharmini and myself had planted seeds and raised the topic on our first visit before the op, but this was much different… As a surgeon, some of the things I shared were very impacting and he could relate. At the end of it he asked me to “sell him on my lifestyle (and kids)”, vastly different to his! After …

Thank you for your prayers

  For those I have not personally thanked: I wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU! The last 2 years have been the hardest of my life, but for those who have helped practically and prayed / sent love – I am deeply, deeply grateful. From myself, Sharmini and the children – thank you – I would not have made it without your support. For nearly a year I could not get up – I was literally confined to a table in the front room lying on my stomach. Even a short stint upright on crutches had major consequences. It …

Ever faced THIS at the hopsital?

Today we had another visit to the hospital…what would it be like THIS time? And what does that have to do with KFC? For those who don’t know our history with pregnancies & childbirth – let’s just say it has been a battle! The first few paragraphs give a quick overview if you want to skip to todays visit! As a husband over the years I have had to go to the hospital many, many times with my wife to literally shield and protect her from the negativity and pressure placed on her by doctors. The way she was treated …

The Slavery of Sugar

There is a lot of talk about sugar and it’s addictive qualities at the moment. While I agree that there are dangers of consuming too much refined sugar, the link between sugar and slavery has another, often overlooked, and possibly more powerful link… While many hold to a relative, social based (or humanistic) moral code, we don’t have to look far to see the results of this belief. When we base our morals on what we see around us, an ‘internal check’ or social norms, many terrible things can and do occur. Slavery is a obvious example. Only a couple …
