For those of you who want the short story, R broke his ankle on day 3 of our South Island safari. We were evacuated by helicopter to Invercargill, where he underwent surgery to pin the fibula back together. We flew back to Auckland as soon as they would let him leave, and he is doing great. We both tried to take what was given to us and make the most of it, and the story is linked from here.

I’m so sorry to hear of your slippage. I’m sure the two of you will find many things to do that may not have been on the “menu” at the beginning. Acceptance is the key.
the pictures are most impressive, keep them coming. You may have an all new career upong your return.
We love and miss you. Everyone says “HI” from Thursday night.
