There’s an update on the GFM, for anyone following along: gofund.me/c5633e48

Tomorrow’s biopsies are cancelled, & unexpected medical bills of $1,250 have cropped up.

But check out this spectacular Darwin sunset from last night! ❤️
A stunning sunset over the sea. The horizon is diagonal across the field of view.

Today’s the 7th anniversary of the accident that slowly disabled me with a treatable condition.

I’m tempted to give up, because the fight for treatment is unsustainable. What would you do?

Latest update is on the GFM:

Another year down with this leaky bag of brain juice… 🫠

There’s an update on the GoFundMe: gofund.me/c5633e48

Massive thanks to all who kept me going this year. I couldn’t keep up the fight without your support.

May we all be as happy as a dog on a beach in 2025!

I’m back in Darwin now, & it’s Satan’s armpit here in Nov/Dec. Due to my neurological issues, I can’t regulate my body temperature.

I’m trying to cover the cost of fixing the aircon in my car. Please consider helping, if it wouldn’t leave you short:

I had a shockingly good appointment with my neurosurgeon today! Finally, might lead to progress?

These pics are 26hrs apart. Rough day today.

There’s an update on the GFM.

A selfie of KC. She is a white woman with pink-tipped silver hair and a Mona Lisa smile. Her reading glasses have slid to the tip of her nose, and she stands in a white-tiled bathroom. A selfie of KC, lying in bed. The right side of her face has fallen and her left eye has a glazed look. She looks broken.

I reckon I captured the mood of the apocalypse pretty well on our road trip through the Territory last night!
A massive fire fills the sky at the vanishing point of the road ahead. Flames and smoke leap over the road immediately in front of the car. Flames and smoke dwarf trees in the distance. The sky is orange, and filled with roiling smoke. A wide shot of the horizon, unable to contain the full extent of the massive fire.

Hi! Welcome. Yep, archaeologists love square holes. 😁 And I sometimes apply those principles when I’m gardening.

I am the happiest Mumma alive
KC is sitting on a couch, in the arms of her adult daughter. Her daughter is kissing her on the forehead, and she is smiling so widely her face might crack in half. The photo is blurry, as if it’s impossible to contain such multitudes of happiness.

Huge thanks to everyone who chipped into the fundraiser over the last 48hrs! We’ve raised almost enough to cover my medical bills etc for the next two weeks. It’s a huge weight off my shoulders.

And I paid for my intake appt at Duke! I’ve waited 9 months for that. I cried happy tears. 🥹 Pic in thx
