Hi Harbourboy, i write this only to provide inspiration.
I had a wonderful experience two days ago. We are at island called Bazaruto of Mozambique, sand dunes and beaches mixed with African straw huts.
We had a party the other day to celebrate Dustins "choosing to live".

Ive known Dustin for approx 3 years, he is attempting to be the first double amputee to sail by himself around the world and I can assure you he will succeed.
The other day approx 30 of us celerbrated the 10th anniversary of his motorbike
accident in which he
lost an arm an a leg. Lying on the side of the road bleeding out he 100% knew what was happening. With his good arm he paused prior to pressing the 911 button, he consciously decided he wanted to live.
Once at the hospital his condition was so bad that the doctor asked him if he wants them to try to save him or just let him go, his reply was "one hour ago i decided i was going to live, I haven't changed my mind".
He lived, recovered and decided he was going to do something big. With NO sailing experience he decided to sail around the world. He left
Hawaii approx 5-6 years back.
Every year he celebrates his
accident and the day he decided to live.
Its an honor to know such a man. Hes the greatest example i know of the
power of choice and attitude.
I realize your situation is different BUT i also understand ones mind (attitude) can move mountains.
Good luck mate.
Cheers Dale.
