Went to see doctor and had a scan yesterday. Will discuss results with doc today. Chances are it will only to decide which specialist to see next. Am getting very worried about the future now. Hard to work out how to get through all this. Will have to return to the boat at some point. Then what??? Sara (Helen’s cousin’s daughter) and Russ continue to be fantastic hosts. Don’t know what we’d do without them. Big thanks. We arrived in Melbourne Tuesday evening after a trouble free flight. No problem with getting on the plane with a one way ticket, which Steve was concern about. Because I didn’t know when and how Steve’s problem would be resolved, I didn’t want to commit to a return ticket back to Fiji. Before boarding the plane we also had time to visit the Fiji immigration office and get an official letter allowing us to renter Fiji on another one a way ticket. Hopefully this will give us a trouble free return to Fiji when all is over. My cousin Sarah and her husband Russ were waiting for us on arrival and soon we were settled in their self contained garden cottage at the end of their pool. I had the best night sleep in days. Yesterday we spent the day relaxing and recovering from the journey and catching up with Sarah and the family. It was also our 26th Wedding Anniversary so in the evening we celebrated with Sarah, Russ and their children with our mandatory take out curry and bubblies. Today we have the CT scan and doctors appointment. I am impatient to get the result and getting closer to finding out Steve’s problem. The admiral has made her decision and taken over. We are flying to Australia today. Our doctors have unanimously advised us to get MRI/CT scan and specialist help as soon as possible. My cousin Sarah has been arranging everything her end in Melbourne for our arrival. She is wonderful. Steve is emotional and physically a little fragile but intellectually he is still all there. He is constantly reminding me of all the the things I need to do and where everything thing is. There is not much he misses. We will continue to update the blog on his progress. I have started the ball rolling for our trip to Australia to get specialists help for Steve if required. Our application for Australian visas have been approved so we are now free to book our flights there. We have been prepping the boat and instructing and organising Sam so that we can leave the boat safe, secure and easy to look after in his care. Understandably Steve is very anxious about his situation and overwhelmed by the thought of leaving the boat, leaving Sam, traveling and expenses. I have held off confirming our flight until I get advice from three GP friends who have been given all of Steve’s symptoms and results from his medical examination here. If they recommend a specialist with MRI/CT scan we’re ready to go. We will be staying with my cousin in Melbourne who has already been in contact with her GP and a medical friend about Steve. Thank you to all who have offered help or given Steve words of encouragements. He really needs it and it has certainly helped. Sam and I are fine and coping well. Just worried about Steve. A couple of days ago Sam and I managed to change out the impeller on the genset. Oddly, the old one still had all it’s teeth. But with the new one in the generator failed to cut out. Weird. Still haven’t worked out what to do next with my health problems. Seems it would be best to fly off somewhere to see a neurologist. Easier said than done as the possible outcomes are so varied. Sadly, many of the outcomes suggest end game which is not at all simple here in Fiji. All part of the problem. It’s comforting to spend each day thinking rather than doing hoping, I guess, things just work out. Each day, though, my condition slightly deteriorates with no positive movements yet. Financially we’re set up for the cruising life. Handing major expenses is not factored in. This all needs to be worked out too. We have health insurance but it is unwise to assume everything or anything will be covered. It would be nice to simply know my condition was fixable for a price. We don’t even know that0. We fire off emails to various folks and some get answered and those that are never definitively. Little encouragement. |
