G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

That’s great news Ivor! So glad that you’ll be back at home tomorrow – make sure you take good care of yourself :O) x
This is excellent news Ivor. They have taken very good care of you in hospital, but I am sure you will feel much better once you’re home. Take care of yourself.
Yes he does!
And thank you! That’s so kind! A recent photo with my dear Mum actually, she came to visit while Darrin was overseas with his family. We hardly ever get decent photos together.
❤
yabba-do, escaping at last! But doesn’t sound good if you’ve still got tests, etc … do pray they find the cause and that your don’t get those shark sweats again 😦
I’m so pleased to hear this news. i agree with Peter you need a little doggy companion for a little while. Please take it easy and don’t attempt too much too soon. 🙂
I’ll catch up with you later in your day. It’s after 10:30 pm here and following a couple of late nights I’m on my way to bed to get an earlier one! Hope your day goes well, see you tomorrow. 🙂
Glad to hear this Ivor! Life has so many battles and illness is a very bad one! But you have found your home already and this is a source of a great force! Best wishes for you!!!🌺
OH, YAY!!! Good news, finally! 🙂
Now, please do catch up on some rest and sleep! Just being at home is healing and is a more comfortable place to rest! 🙂
I’m so so so so so SO excited!!!! 🙂 Can you tell?!?! 😛
HUGS!!! 🙂
PS…your flowers are lovely! 🙂
