Went for a shoot at the Boulder rifle club today. Had a blast and met a great bunch of people. Very welcoming and helpful. Didn’t do terribly considering I’d never shot past 100m before! 39/50

Celebrating my 5th year on Facebook. Thank you for your continuing support. I could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉 Here’s to the next five!

Just got back from my latest procedure in Perth. Few repairs to the war wagon while I was there, it gets me around town pretty well but the ground conditions out in Kal are rough so she has a hard life.

I take the train down most trips as I can lay the chair almost flat and rest on the journey. It helps to pretend I’m in first class in the sleeper section!

The procedure (quarterly Botox injections in the bladder to prevent spasticity in the bladder & then peeing myself like an untrained toddler🤦🏼‍♂️) really helps my independence and ability to get out in the community. Unfortunately as it involves a camera down the you know what to access the bladder sometimes I get infections afterwards. Looks like I have a UTI now so I’m going to get a sample off to get tested and if needed do a course of antibiotics. If the infection gets bad I might be out of action for a while again. I have to take these seriously as untreated it could turn septic and kill me very quickly.

On a more positive note we are back in KB and I’m planning on a little something to try and get back into a sport I loved doing when I was younger! Update on that soon.

Cheers, love you all, hope you’re doing well.

Five years ago today, our world changed in a way we never could have imagined. One moment. One motorbike and road train colliding. We were just living our lives then the next moment we were in a hospital hearing words like spinal cord injury, surgery and wondering what on earth our future would look like.

We couldn’t imagine at the time, but it's looked like resilience, humour, and a LOT of trial and error. It’s a journey of learning to live life differently, but fully.
It’s also been five years of watching Morgan do what he does best: tough it out with strength, grit, humour and lots of swearing. He’s faced the hardest of days with severe nerve pain and spasms and being stuck in bed for weeks on end and somehow still managed to crack (terrible) jokes and refuses to let this injury define him.

I’ve watched Morgan face more than most could imagine. He accepts each challenge with courage, determination, and with an unshakable spirit. He has taught me (and so many others) that life is not about what happens to you, but how you respond.

But through it all, his spirit has stayed solid. Stubborn as ever. Brave as hell. And more determined than a bloke trying to BBQ in a cyclone. You are proof that the true Aussie spirit doesn’t need two working legs.

So today isn’t just about what we lost, it’s about what we’ve built. A life full of love, dark humour, and finding strength in places we didn’t know we had.
Here’s to 5 years of rolling forward with courage, cheek, and probably a flat tyre or two (or completely falling off!)

Looks like it’s going to be a bad day!

We got caught out today. Despite doing our research and The Valley of the Giants being advertised as wheelchair accessible. It was a very tight squeeze for Morgan to navigate. We got there in the end with only a slight graze on the knuckles and minimal blood!
