Changes

There has been no other point in Jackys life, in my life or in our lives together that has facilitated such a huge change as this meeting with medicine man Wolf and his beautiful wife Lara. Everything has changed for us, or has moved to where it should be I guess you could say. Jackys healing is continuing at a rapid rate. During the major surgery her extensor (may have spelt that wrong?) muscle was severed which added to why her femur was out of it's hip socket and the sciatic spasm pain and so on it snowballed. At the moment the pain that Jacky is experiencing is nerve pain due to the nerves that were damaged coming back "online" if you like and regenerating. Another major win is that Jacky is now no longer on panadol!
The mass in her lower back that the doctors believed to be "recurrent cancer" is breaking down and being absorbed into Jackys blood stream and is being dealt with accordingly by her liver and kidneys. She is taking a number of support minerals and 'potions' to assist her body through dealing with this. I spoke to our own doctor (GP extroidanaire) David Ritchie in Christchurch this afternoon to give him an update as to where Jacky is at and David said everything checked out and certainly Jackys blood results support Wolfs diagnosis. It is all good! Still a way to go, however this gentle wise man has quite literally saved Jackys life, already we know this.
We are already saying to each other of how much we will miss him when we return home to Waikuku. How do you repay such a gift in life as this? It is another one of those situations where Thank you just doesnt seem enough.
We wish that all of our good friends, infact everyone could have access to such experience as this.
Pirika and Martha are great - spending alot of time in their Auntys spa and have been the patient gorgeous beings that they are through our journeys towards Waihi and Wolf magic. They know the good that is being done and are comfortable and at home in Wolfs home. Pirika said "I want to give Wolf the hugest hug in the world for how he is helping my mama".
Tomorrow we are going fishing. Only 15 mins drive to serene bays where yesterday we watched stingray swim. Truly. Must sign off now. Hope you who are reading this are well and happy. Warm love to you all, from all of Us here.
