    Default Reason for not attending Proserpine.

    Not wanting to hijack Proserpine thread so I will put it here.

    So I went back home to help attend to a few things.

    Bugger.

    The bright side is that he didn't get stuck in Barcaldine for a week.

    2 years paralysed is not a good ending I have to say.

    3rd reason for grieving.

    ...

    Bit off-topic but folks, leave instructions with your GP and family about your end-of-life wishes.
    Cheers, Ern
