This Week
I've just spent a week in Brisbane and what a week it has been. I feel like I've been caught up in a whirlpool and am about to be spat out.
The highlight of course was celebrating Marko's first birthday a month early.
I caught up with about a hundred different people and had lots of fun doing so but I also have been suffering more and more with my back. I saw the specialist on Thursday and was told I have a bulging L5 disc. He put a couple of cortisone injections into it and my SIJ but now the pain is even worse, hopefully just from a bit of a cortisone flair. He really wanted me to hang around Bris for the next week to see what happens but I want to go back home to my own bed where I can just relax and heal. Anyway, Australia's best back surgeon is in Cairns so I'll be in the right place if things go terribly wrong.
Paul is slowing down his work to four hours a day, Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri to see if he can cope. The full week hammered him so we know he can't go back full time.
My flight this morning is delayed by two hours so far for mechanical reasons. Don't you hate that! I could have slept in. Every minute that I'm sitting or standing puts more strain on my back and it builds up through the day.
Ooh, they have just announced free vouchers for us for food. Must go collect mine.
