DH and I finished our recent holiday in Sydney last Tuesday, when we flew home. We'd had a really enjoyable time and I saw lots more of this city than I had ever done on previous trips. And even that 'tumble' I took couldn't take away any of our wonderful memories. So...back to that subject line.
The Good...
The return of the hire car on the Tuesday morning before our flight.
Yes the car hire company staff member couldn't have given us better service when we returned the car. And The Good continued at the airport where the Qantas staff were wonderful. Of course when we had booked our tickets weeks before, we didn't know that we would need assistance. And that's when you need to ask...not when you arrive at the airport. But that didn't phase the staff and a wheelchair was quickly found...
And DH and I got to board the plane early and get fussed over! And arrangements were made for a Qantas staffer with a wheelchair to take me off the plane at Brisbane, help DH with collecting the luggage and then take me to the pick up point...all possible problems beautifully 'ironed out'.
The Bad...
The person who was paid to look after my veggie patch 'sorta didn't do a very good job'...hmmm very disappointing!
I hobbled around trying to save the plants...this had been my lovely mint plant..
Water every day was the request and the collage below is how I left it...especially my beautiful and healthy tomato plants...
Oh well...I can but try to save the plants.
And lastly, The Somewhat Ugly...yep! The bruising continues to appear...photos were taken on Tuesday afternoon...
And today I was really surprised to find some new bruising...it is bruising but doesn't it look like I haven't washed my feet for weeks? Lol
As requested by the Sydney hospital, I attended a local hospital here on Tuesday afternoon. More x-rays were done and according to the Brisbane doctors, they couldn't see a break...but there was obvious soft tissue damage and possible torn ligaments. I still can't put weight on it and have to continue using the moon boot when walking. But every day, the swelling gets less, as does the discomfort. Next Wednesday I have to have some more X-rays done and possibly an MRI scan if there is still pain. Even though I might have a while before it's all back to normal, it was good news that it is probably not broken. And it all happened in just a few seconds :-/.
