Simon was whisked off to Flinders Hospital for an MRI scan this morning. The repat hospital called me at work to say that he was on his way - Flinders hospital is just 3 minutes from my workplace. He was a bit distressed by this experience, especially being put in a white gown and having his wedding ring removed (very necessary, big magnets involved). I got to Flinders in time to meet him and settled him while we waited for the scanner. He was in there a long time (I was not allowed into the scanner room), and I think it was tough on him. He was crying a little when he came out and said that he did not want to do that ever again. If it has to happen again I will go in with him. I have been exposed to so much nuclear stuff that it is unlikely to make any further difference to my health. Saw him back to rehab in the ambulance, and managed to rescue his fish and chips lunch.
Most disappointing today, the house at Willunga got sold this morning. I have arranged to see four other places next week.
Filthy weather in Adelaide today, you poms don't know what rain is. So much that our drains are overflowing and now I have to get a plumber to clear some sort of blockage. Have ordered a skip to take away the rubbish from our back yard, then all set to go on the market. Tell your friends, beaut place in South Brighton, hardly lived in because we were always at work, nice swimming pool.
Today's picture is a little dark; this is Simon being loaded into the ambo for his return to rehab.

Hi Marian and Simon
ReplyDeleteMRI scans are very scary so Simon has done very well and its over with now.
We have been having two nice weeks here after rain every single day since May. Our poor ponies have got mud fever! This is a winter condition and not usual in summer. The farmers were panicking because no one had got any second cut sileage /haylage and animal feed was going sky high! So thats it!! our summer has been two weeks long and I am grateful for that!! Still got a foal to come in about two weeks and then four to sell with any luck!!
Chesca is into hospital on Wednesday for a small eye op and then will milk the time off school for for as much as she can!! I am taking some hols to be at her beck and call. Will try and get the Doc to advise her to keep off the laptop for a week and rest her eyes!!
All love Gail David and thekids
