Mike, My sister in law, Annette Hine-Thomas a nursing sister working with TAC patients on the Mornington Peninsula spoke to me, suggesting my son-in-law Damian Frires and daughter Ella, might be able to contact you in relation to Damian’s T12 Complete, which occurred during a kiteboarding accident. Damian is being ‘reeducated’ as Annette puts it, to adjust to a life of paraplegia. He was an active sportsman who is currently being told that no real recovery is possible. You appear to hold a firm view to the contrary. Is it possible to have Damian contact you via this site, to gain a more positive view? Best regards and best wishes. Richard Thomas.
(Screw the hate mail guy by the way).

After just returning from a very overwhelming visit in New Zealand with my sister & her husband who had a kite boarding accident 5 weeks ago leaving him a complete paraplegic, my view on almost everything in life has been turned on it’s head. You see the world through very, very different eyes and whilst it might seem like a cruel thing to say, I almost wish everyone has an experience with tragedy at some point in their life as you can come out a far better person for it.
You can only feel sorry for this fool who wrote you the hate mail, he is not truly experiencing the purpose of life.

There are some dickheads out there Mike, and you’ve done a very dignified response to his or her hate-mail. I always find if I meditate then unjustified criticism melts away into nothing. Best wishes on your continued recovery, regards KB.

Good to hear the latest bug setback has been and gone. Wonderful to hear from you today and to know that Ash continues to enjoy big school and has made it through the first full week after having a month of Wednesdays at home.
Hope your ride went well this morning. See you soon. Can’t wait
Love Mum

Nice conservative reply to your first hate mail Mike.
That guy certainly has a problem! I wonder if he drives a truck along beach rd? New web site looks great well done Lorian and Pete.
Watching your progress
