and of course some misc.

-I know you are right. Today was a pretty tough one. I ended up

phoning the technician in Adelaide to get the manometry date bought

forward. She could fit me in on Monday afternoon,

so it was a mad

dash around to try and get a flight to Adelaide before then. The

hospital managed to get me down tomorrow business

class(Saturday) and

I will get back Tuesday. Everything is totally

booked out otherwise

and I had to wait a few more weeks. School holidays

are due to begin

next week and tourist season is in full swing

here, which is great

for the town but not so great if you are local

trying to get a flight

in a hurry.

My doctor here had to get needles sorted and my

bloods checked etc

for flying. So the rush is over and will be on my

way.

My husband will be on night shifts so my family

will have my youngest

while he sleeps.

So here is one step closer to a decision for

better eating options.
