When you ask for everything, expect to be tested, its always random heavy & hectic..
16th June 2025 Keyhole surgery, this injury occurred while i was waiting to have my shoulder surgery which was scheduled in for the 12th August 2025.
I injured my shoulder on 5th February 2024, so I done the mahi with my shoulder for 8 months, i had 3 injections over that time frame to assist the pain & rehab. This only prolonged the continuous inflammation and pain in my shoulder, I asked if it was possible
an opportunity to get shoulder surgery may become available, he broke the surgery down, he was real, it will not be easy, i accepted the conditions.
Im back in the water again after 9 out of it.
Feeling FullyPsyched shoulder surgery is locked in for 12th August 2025.
It's so good to be back in the water i can im slowly finding my rail again, after 3 weeks back, finally i can hold my inside rail solid. There's nothing better than flying down the line mach10 & dropping the JJF Hammer on an open canvas 🙏
It's good to be back in the water.
Walk out of my shed at home and my 3 staffys play run it straight to my knee.
Nek MINIT can't walk, even worse can't fu***ng surf again.
This injury also requires surgery which is scheduled for 16th June 2025.
This korero i share, is to show people that there is another way to stay connected to what we love even when we can't be near it. I TreadingWater on the whenua is my connection to the Moana & Tangaroa, that kaupapa for ownership has been done the old way, and it has been documented.
Situations occur as we live our lives,, things can be taken away without warning that we just can't control, that's life. We just find the strength to push through, find your WHY, that's the golden compass
Present situation 9th June 2026, finally connected with my new case manager after waiting 6 weeks. Wanted to inquire about more Traditional Ronga Maori healing treatments, can i book this towards my Acc455claim for my knee please.
Wait for it.. what happened with your knee, i have only been assigned your shoulder file, there's nothing showing for what you're asking, I will chase this up and call you back. 2 days still no call back.
It's a stressful situation but it's out of my control, don't give energy to s**t you can't control, wait untill you regain that control, that's when you give it everything.
Keeping it Real in Real time..
Wairua Waka is seki hectic.
