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.
Hello Steve, Helen & Sam.
So sorry to read that your condition is not improving, we can certainly understand your concerns. We can only hope for your sake that it’s a passing virus and you start seeing some improvement really soon. Keep the chin up and we’ll certainly be thinking of you and looking out for some positive news.
Cheers & all the very best wishes from both of us.
Paul & Maureen aboard Calypso
Hi Helen, hi Steve,
it’s good to hear, that you didn’t “put your head in the sand” and went to see a doctor; but it is no surprise, that you need some tests not available in Fiji to get a diagnosis. Hope you will be able to have a neurologist check you out – be it in the US, UK or South Africa – very soon. Not losing to much time is important with these kind of symptoms.
Like all your cruising friends we hope, that you’ll be able to continue the cruising life pretty soon.
