" In His opinion.... WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!"

Kia Ora e te Whanau!!!
I get to talk to Koro every week, so when i spoke to him after he went to see the surgeon in Hamilton he wasn't too impressed at all. He thought the surgeon could have done more than what he did, which was basically ask what drugs he was on, then he did a quick check-up to see if everything was working well.

Now as you all know Koro, hes the one who likes to be prepared in every way. He took x- rays up with him to show the surgeon and get his opinion: but the surgeon only glimpsed at them. So koro took them back to Taupo to Doctor Douglas. It sounds like he is now satisfied.

But enough of that.... Good News thus far....
Koro has daily exercises that he does. He goes up to the Hospital to do physio which consists of riding a stationary bike and walking on the treadmill.

His goal was to do 10mins on the bike, which he has achieved. Now he is aiming for 12mins. Tau ke!!! He does this maybe 2- 3 times a week. Other than this he keeps busy with Sudoku, reading and listening to his BEAUTIFUL granddaughter every week, (cos yep can't get her to stop haha ;)

He went to church last Sunday which i think was the first time since the surgery. He drives himself around even... Naughty Koro! haha...

So koro is being Koro at about 1/4 of the speed he is used to doing things...

What do you think???

Aroha ki te Whanau,
Tereinamu
