Toast to the Elderly - PP PHF John Ritchie
Micheline Farnell
I was born in Bunbury Western Australia on the 13th of June 1956 and eventually moved and started my schooling up here in Emerald. I would catch a taxi to school but in 1962 coming home from school one day I was struck by a car which led me to having a brain injury.
This didn’t stop me from living. I have fond memories of helping my mother in the kitchen and my dad in the garden. I have a younger sister Gail who lives in QLD now and visits when she can. I was a member of Yooralla which led me to continue being social and learning new skills.
I think I have a lovely smile and I’m very kind. I have a very caring nature and always dreamt of being a nurse.
I moved into Emerald Glades with my parents but they have both since past. I am very lucky to have an NDIS worker Ana come in and see me three times a week. She is not just a carer but my friend. Together we go out shopping and to cafes. Recently it was my birthday and Ana is taking me to the ballet. I absolutely adore the ballet. I have such fond memories when my dad took me to see Swan Lake when I was a little girl.
I am a very social lady and like all ladies, I like to look nice and enjoy a good manicure. Colouring therapy relaxes me. I’ll take part in all activities and I’ll have a go at anything and not allow my disabilities to get in the way of trying.
