Once on a mooring Helen and Sam went ashore to get some details on doctors. I have an appointment for this morning.<\/p>\n

Things are not getting any better. My double vision seems to be getting worse. The whole trip down from Savusavu was a nightmare for me unable to properly see where we were going. The passage was littered with reefs. Fortunately the chart plotter was accurate but that cannot be assumed so a good watch is required. Helen backed me up on most of my watches which put a lot of pressure on her.<\/p>\n

I now worry a lot. If the doctor can’t find a fix for this then we’ve got a lot of problems. I am feeling quite anxious about all this. Questions fly through my mind.<\/p>\n

Are we now in end game? Is the trip more or less over?
\nIf we have to sell the boat can we get to Australia? Can we sell it here?
\nIf we’re in end game then what next? We’ve been in denial about this but we’ve got to go somewhere and do something. But what? And how does my condition change things?
\nWhat about Sam?
\nHow much will this all cost? Can we afford it?
\nHow bad will my condition get?
\nMany more questions. Not a lot of answers.<\/p>\n

It’s 2:45am and I’m not sleeping. The music ashore is not helping but my worries fly around my mind. I know the next step is a visit to the doctors but I’m not over enthusiastic. Things are changing so rapidly I’m not sure what can be done. Is it something with my eyes? Is it something neurological? I don’t know.<\/p>\n

Again Helen is being very supportive and that’s great. But I worry. A lot.<\/p>\n

Last night we treated ourselves to fish and chips ashore and wine back on the boat while watching a couple of episodes of the latest Game of Thrones series. Savour the moments.<\/p>\n

We made the short trip to Lautoka, anchored, reanchored (due to Ferry coming) in and went ashore to clear in. Fiji is broken up into four areas associated with each port of entry. Each time you leave one port you need to obtain clearance to the next. So we took our Savusavu to Lautoka clearance […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fiji","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5801"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5803,"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5801\/revisions\/5803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboarddignity.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
