Hi all this is Mrs Ruffy staying at the madmax household -best digs in Canberra- Max always calls Mary "marvelous"she has opened her home and heart to me, made me laugh, had the tissues on hand when needed,made sure I had a comfortable bed (thanks Amanda) has driven me all over Canberra and has always handed me a glass of wine at the end of an emotional day, she is very deserving of her "marvelous" tag.Max has given me his car keys and thrown his credit card at me (not a good thing to leave at home but go figure) Max & Mary& kids are the best people.Well what a weekend! John wants to send his thanks to all who went above and beyond the call of friendship.You are all an amazing, great group of people-Kath & Graham - words I fail to find to express my thanks in making sure Johns beloved red bus made it back to Sydney.Loafie in organising the tow,the first on scene to make sure both guys were safe and secure and get help on the way.Steve who gave his prayers,Simmo for the police contact # and the offer of a ride to home and to all of you who have made contact----Thanks.And last but by know means least Heidi ,thank you,thank you,thank you,thank you.........
You are an amazing inspiring beautiful person you were my rock
Finally a Ruffy update:well he is in a neck brace, 2 fractured vertabrae c6 & c7.His left arm is numb- can not move it- he has feeling in his fingers and can move them but the thumb is numb from the nail down to the wrist.But today he did require pain management for his arm - go the drugs -he even mentioned how much he wants a K9( I could kill him but maybe not this week)The MIR should happen on Monday so we will know more then.Max is trying to organise a wireless laptop for John @ the hospital so he can send updates himself.He is in a ward now on his own & he is armed with his phone so if you want to ring him and have a chat feel free.Well thats it from me another wine is on the table, so ride safe all ,bye for now....... Mrs Ruffy
