Wednesday 11 June: Local Time 12.33
Just in case anyone thought we had taken the day off to go gallivanting around the city and visit tourist sites and the like, I am afraid it was not so. It was just a simple case of no Internet connection.
We spent most of the day in the hospital, both Allan and Eric are walking a lot more. Even this morning Allan did two rounds of the block. Both are progressing well.
Allan still has a slight infection in his lower left leg, which seems to be seeping. He has had it looked at several times and nobody is concerned. As a precaution they put two staples back in and put new dressings on. The room is constantly being bombarded with guests, from doctors, nurses, attendants and even a visit by a couple from Kenya. The price of fame. (Although it really is just the level of service that Shalby gives. I haven't the heart to tell the guys that they pay just as much attention to all the other patients.)
Once they have their remaining stitches out I am sure the first thing both of them will do is head to the bathroom and have a shower.
I know that they are really looking forward to coming home and with 9 days left, we already have begun to count down. When we leave, which will be around midnight the night before, we all said that both Allan and Eric will walk out of here. So at the main door, if they are being wheeled out, or walking with sticks, both will ditch their aids and walk through the doors unaided.

Hi there, No internet hey! Sounds a little familiar to me. Well try no ZESA here. Woke up to a lovely winter day with all the trimmings like internet, ZESA, Water, Phone etc. But with one horrendous fireworks display from the overhead ZESA lines to the house from the transformer, our ideal day was ruined. Live wires laying on the ground in our yard, entire block out of power and empty promises from ZESA to come before the end of the day to fix. So there goes all the things we take for granted, cooking, internet, charging cell phones, cold beers and of course the hairdryer. GRRRR. But, can't keep a good thing down, the generator keeps the beers cold, charges the cellphone, gives internet and who cares about the rest.
ReplyDeleteNight chaps and looking forward to hearing your progress.
