Brisbane (Tuesday)

The main event of today was a check up with the doctor. I went to see Dr Jacky, who was very cool. She went a little of track asking me all sorts of random questions, but I didn't mind. I love it when people are so interested and just ask, instead of worrying about offending. We decided that, even though the procedure is to leave the skin on to protect blisters, that after two weeks, maybe it was time to give it a hand. Since I'm not walking, they aren't exactly getting the helping hand they would normally get. She has put me back on antibiotics again too, since we took the covers off. Again, we are just going with the flemazine cream, melolin(protective cover) and hyperfix tape, twice a day. I was really disappointed when we took the skin off. They are a lot worse than I thought. Turns out it isn't going to be my boob that stops me swimming in Darwin. That is healing beautifully!!

Julie and I also had Max, Charlies little brother with us today. The three of us took a drive around Redland Bay and Victoria Point. Both areas were right on the water with Cafes and lawns. They would be so popular in summer! Even on a winter Tuesday there were heaps of people around. After my early start and our drive around town, I had a lazy afternoon. I have climbed the stairs twice today though. Julie and I sat down and watched The Vow after the kids went home. Great movie. One day left in Brisbane...

I had such an amazing start to my day today! I will admit that I was a bit disappointed when I went to bed last night. There was no sign anyone had read my blog, and for me, last nights post was very personal. I woke up bright at early at 6.30 this morning to find two amazing messages on my facebook in response. I love receiving feedback, either good or bad, on my writing, so please, if you think it, say it. And if you take something away from what I have to say, share it. Maybe someone else you know will take something from it. So thank you to everyone who is reading, and thank you for all your wonderful messages.
