My Dad's had a benign tremor, similar to that from Parkinson's, since his teens. He had to retire early & the last few years have sometimes found him unable to even feed himself. Drinking from a normal glass has required all those in the vicinity to wear full rain gear. Hand-writing has been virtually impossible. Last Tuesday, aged almost 69, he underwent a procedure called Deep Brain Stimulation (basically, wiring a pacemaker into the brain), and overnight, the tremor has vanished. WooBLOODYhoo!
Next best thing: Buyin' stuff.
On Monday a contract to sell my partner's place for a bit more than he would've settled for, became unconditional. On Wednesday, a contract for us to buy a fantastic, 7 acre chunk of land in the hinterland of the Gold Coast, with two houses, a pool & a dirt-bike track, also went unconditional.
Nexter next best thing: Birthdays.
I got older, but I'm still young enough not to care. I had an open house party (more for moving than birthdaying) & heaps of friends, including some from days gone by, dropped in, met the man & caught up.
I'm tempted to go on about fantastic weather, great shifts at work & other bits & pieces, but I don't want you all to turn into jealous alcoholics (on top of the mere alcoholics I already know most of you to be ;) ).
So 100% utterly stoked about Dad's op, I had to post up so you could "share the joy".
I'm well pleased for you and your Dad
