Saturday 14 June 2014: Local Time 12.10
We have entered our final week here in India and the countdown has begun. This will be our last Saturday here. By this time next week, we will be on the bus back to Bulawayo, hopefully to arrive back by early afternoon. (Unless the road works and police road blocks have something to say about it.) It has been a long time, yet gone so quickly. The days seem to be flying by and within no time it seems we will be getting ready to board the plane from Ahmedabad back to Dubai. At least this time we will not have to spend 17 hours at the airport. Which is a pity because I wanted to get Allan and Eric back for the time we spent coming over. My plan was to hire a wheelchair for myself and get them to push me all around the airport for a few hours. Ah well, maybe next time.
The worst of the news is that we have not been able to watch any of the FIFA world cup football in Brasil. We woke up to the shock of finding out Holland beat Spain by 5 goals to 1. Would have been a nice one to watch. So my apologies to Tsana at home, sorry love, I will most likely be catching up on a lot of sports for the first few days and hogging the TV remote.
Spirits are still good and both lads regularly sleep and go for walks, sleep and go for walks.
Yesterday Eric and myself made it to the front entrance of the hospital and it was nice for him to see a different view for a change. The whole time they have been here they have only really seen the 3rd floor, whereas I am lucky enough to be able to walk out and about.
They both still have stitches in one leg, Eric in his right and Allan in his left, and hopefully they will be coming out in the next day or two. The doctors have been in a few times to change the dressings and check on the healing process. They are happy with the results and have left the stitches in as a precaution. I am not sure if we mentioned it but, Dr Shah did say that Eric's right knee was one of the worst he had ever operated on, and they still managed to fix it. Respect!
