I have a confession to make. I did it again. Mum and I decided
that if this blog is to help the widest audience possible, I need to be
completely honest, and include all the downs of this trip, as well as the ups.
So "it" was falling asleep with the hot water bottle again. (I'm a T4
paraplegic. One of the drawbacks of this level of spinal cord injury is that
my temperature gauge is completely shot. Hence, the hot water bottle). My feet
this time. A blister on each foot. (I can hear my phone ringing with my sister
about to abuse me already....) So I saw the doctor in Melbourne before I
left, and he has put me on antibiotics. Normally I'm not to keen to go on
antibiotics unless I know I need to but after my last burn got a staf
infection, I'm happy to go prevention rather than cure. (My last burn happened
the week after Easter. After three months, its still only half the size it was
to start with). So off to the doctor again tomorrow to get my feet looked at,
and my other blister. I've been dressing that one myself a while, but because
I'm going out outback, I don't want to get out there and get stuck. So I'm
getting it checked by a pro at least once a week. Not the best of
starts.
Speaking of things that are really hard, have you ever tried
putting on skinny jeans sitting on the loo??? I know I can't blame anyone for
that- no one is forcing me to wear them, but it still takes alot of work when
everything below the chest makes the bit that's left above the chest do all
the work.
Anyway, I'm feeling suitable silly, as I have been all week,
so this is enough "truth" for tonight! 
Glad you made it safely. Looks like you need to put those feet UP!(Don't you just hate your mum telling you what to do all the time???!!!) xx
