Day 3 at home. 💪

Just heading off to have my IV antibiotics changed over and pick up the supplies. From here, the Hospital in the Home team will come out each day to change the antibiotics, check my PICC line, and do the dressing.

In around a week and a half, I’ll have another CT scan to check the fluid around my right kidney. That will determine whether it’s ready to be drained. If it is, I’ll be back in hospital for about a week while they place a drain and hopefully get on top of the remaining infection.

Once that’s behind me, the road to a full recovery can really begin.

I also just want to say another huge thank you to everyone who’s checked in, sent messages, and shown their support. It honestly means more than you know.

A special shout out to the team at Gato ( kobelco ) for going above and beyond just to let me know you were thinking of me. It truly meant the world.

Hope everyone is staying fit, healthy, and looking after themselves. ❤️ Gato Sales Pty Ltd ❤️

This photo was taken a couple of months before my body finally forced me to stop.

Looking back now, I can see the exhaustion. At the time, I couldn’t.

For years, I believed the answer was to just keep pushing.

Work harder. Do more hours. Buy more equipment. Spend more on advertising. Chase the next job. Keep everyone employed. Keep the wheels turning.

I’ve lived the sleepless nights. The unpaid invoices. The last-minute cancellations. The rising fuel costs. The repayments that never stop. Wages that still have to be paid, even when the phone goes quiet.

As a small business owner, you’re constantly juggling everything. You put money aside for GST, tax and super, then a quiet patch hits and suddenly you’re dipping into it just to keep the doors open. Before you know it, the BAS is due, there’s a huge tax bill waiting, and you’re left wondering how you’ll catch up again.

It’s a cycle that so many business owners are living, but not many are talking about.

For years, I just kept adapting. Kept pushing. Kept telling myself that if I worked harder, eventually I’d get ahead.

But the truth is, there was never an end game.

It took my health forcing me to stop before I realised I was building a business, but forgetting to build a life.

Success isn’t just about growing bigger. It’s about creating a business that gives you freedom, not one that consumes you.

I’m not giving up. Far from it.

I’m simply choosing a different way forward.

I’m simplifying the business. I’m putting my health first. I’m putting my family first. And I’m building a business that supports my life instead of controlling it.

If you’re a small business owner reading this, know you’re not alone. The pressure is real. But don’t wait for your body to make the decision for you like mine did.

Your business should support your life, not become your life.

A job I’ll never forget.

I was driving past today after getting my IV antibiotics changed and, for the first time in nearly three weeks, got to see this job again.

This was the project I was working on before everything changed and I ended up in hospital.

While I was focused on getting better, the boys stepped up and kept this job moving. Seeing what they’ve accomplished made me incredibly proud.

Well done, boys. Thank you for carrying the load while I couldn’t. ❤️

Another little update…

Today I’m in the infusion lounge getting everything set up for the next stage of recovery.

I’ve finally been given the all clear to head home tonight with my IV antibiotics. It feels so good knowing I’ll finally be sleeping in my own bed.

Today has been about ticking all the boxes and getting my first infusion organised. For the next couple of days I’ll come back every 24 hours for check ins and iv changes, then Home Care will take over and continue the IV antibiotics at home.

The plan is two weeks of antibiotics, followed by more scans to see how the fluid collection around my kidney is responding. Hopefully the antibiotics help settle it down, but there’s still a good chance I’ll need it drained and will need to be back in hospital for a few days. One step at a time.

I also want to say a massive thank you to one of my good mates, Richard and his wife Simone. Last night I called him late asking if he could grab me some food as the hospital food just wasn’t sitting well. Without hesitation, he dropped everything, went to Coles, Grabbed me more then I needed, took it home, cooked it, and brought it into the hospital for me. Ever since that meal, I’ve honestly felt so much better. It’s something I’ll never forget.

To everyone who has checked in on me, supported my family, reached out, or gone above and beyond over the past few weeks… thank you. The kindness people have shown us is something I’ll never forget, and I’m forever grateful.

I’ve been documenting this whole journey from the very beginning. As I continue to recover, I hope sharing my experience can help others whether that’s recognising the warning signs sooner, finding a healthier balance between business and life, or simply knowing they’re not alone when life throws them a challenge. If my experience can help even one person avoid the mistakes I’ve made or get through a tough time, then sharing it will all be worth it.

One step closer to being home with my family. The road isn’t over yet, but tonight is a big step in the right direction. ❤️

Just sitting here, getting some fresh air and watching the world go by.

It’s funny what happens when life forces you to slow down. You begin to notice things you never had time to see before.

You watch people rushing from one place to the next, stressed, frustrated, constantly thinking about the next problem, the next bill, the next deadline. It almost feels like we’ve accepted that this is just how life is supposed to be.

But I don’t think it is.

Being in hospital has shown me how simple life really is. When your health is taken away, none of the things that used to consume your mind seem to matter anymore. All you want is to feel well enough to be home with the people you love.

I honestly believe we’re meant to keep learning until the day we die. The more I’ve sat here with nothing but my own thoughts, the more I’ve realised how easy it is to get caught up in a life that’s constantly pulling us in every direction.

If I’m honest, one of my biggest fears isn’t the recovery.

It’s getting better… and then falling straight back into the pace of life I was living before.

I don’t want to forget what this experience has taught me.

I don’t want to get distracted by things that don’t really matter. I don’t want to lose sight of the simple things. The quiet moments. Time with family. Time with God. Time to think. Time to breathe.

Maybe that’s the real lesson in all of this.
Not to simply recover…

But to come out the other side living differently.

🙏🏽❤️

Today I had a PICC line inserted, which means no more changing cannulas every few days. It also means that when the time comes to head home, if I’m still on IV antibiotics, I can continue treatment from home with the right support.

Yesterday they drained one of the fluid collections to send it away for testing. The last couple of days my inflammatory markers had started creeping back up, but today’s bloods showed a really good drop, which is positive. Funny enough though, I actually feel a bit more worn out today than I have over the last few days.

Hopefully tomorrow brings some more answers when all the results come back. I’m not going anywhere until we know exactly what’s going on. I’d rather stay here another few weeks if that’s what it takes than rush home, miss something, and end up back here with another setback.

For now, it’s just one day at a time. Things are slowly moving in the right direction, and that’s all I can ask for. I’m just looking forward to finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

The boys have been absolutely smashing it at work, and everything’s continuing to tick along while I focus on getting healthy. I couldn’t be more grateful for the team, my family, and everyone who’s been checking in. Thanks for all the support it really does mean a lot.

Health update:

A small step in the right direction today.

The doctors have started introducing some fluids, so I’m now able to start drinking again, and they’ve also begun slowly reintroducing some food to see how my body responds. If everything goes well, they’ll be looking at removing the feeding tube in the coming days.

They’re still trying to determine whether the main issue is a perforation from the procedure, inflammation from the pancreas, or a combination of both, as the scans can make it difficult to tell the difference.

The CT scans are showing a collection of fluid around my right kidney area, so tomorrow they’ll be attempting to drain what they can under ultrasound guidance. I’ll also be having a PICC line inserted, which will allow me to continue receiving treatment over the coming weeks.

If everything continues to head in the right direction, the plan is for me to return home with daily nursing support while continuing to come back to hospital for regular scans and reviews. There is still a possibility that further drainage procedures may be needed down the track, but we’re taking it one step at a time.

There’s still a long road ahead, but today’s update feels like progress. Right now my focus is on healing, getting stronger each day, and getting back home to my wife and girls.

The last 24–48 hours have been tough on all of us. With Brittany coming down with a nasty bug on top of everything else, it’s certainly tested the whole family. Thankfully, the girls are healthy, and we’ve been incredibly lucky to have some amazing friends and family around us helping out at home while I’m stuck in hospital and Brittany is doing her best to keep everything together.

I think we’ve both reached that point where we’re simply exhausted. More than anything, it’ll be good to get back home, be in each other’s arms again, and look after one another while we get through this together.

Thank you again to everyone who has checked in, sent messages, prayed for us, and offered support. We won’t forget it. Britt Pukallus

Funny how a hospital stay can change your perspective.

The things that seemed so important a few weeks ago don’t even enter my mind now.

Sitting here with my girls beside me, I’ve been reminded that the true measure of wealth isn’t money, equipment, jobs, or success.

It’s your health, your family, your friends, and the people who genuinely care about you.

Everything else is just noise.

12/06/2026

This is just another update to let everyone know where things are at.

The biggest challenge through all of this has been staying strong mentally, and to be honest, I’m doing really well. Most people who know me know that I don’t like slowing down or sitting still, and this has literally forced me into doing absolutely nothing.

For someone like me, that’s probably been one of the hardest parts. But I’ve accepted that right now my main focus and energy need to go into getting healthy and getting better.

At the end of the day, every day that passes is one day closer to being back home with my girls, and that’s what I’m focused on.

Thanks again to everyone who’s reached out, checked in, and shown support. It means more than you know.
