unfortunately i was unable to go to Hunter Valley as i had quite a troublesome GIT hemorrhage and was admitted as an emergency at 5.30 am Monday morning (to be mor eprecise had a shower and called a taxi) and was admitted to the local teaching hospital St Vincents,which was quite palatial .
As you can imagine a UK visitor Consultant retired - i was given VIP treatment - i will relate details later
Bled 4 pints or so and my haemoglobin fell from 15.5 to 11.3 G in 24 hours - that is some blood loss . I was only kept in for 5 days until bleeding subsided as no test were ordered and they do not transfuse these days unless in extremis . Similar picture to Tim but settled otherwise a nightmare logistically.
I am at home but we have decided not to move to the Rocks but stay in this luxury appt until we leave next week for home
As you can imagine it has completely changed our plans
- the 450 pound car hire is in garage
and i had to give June Stone our 2 opera house tickets 80$ each to Beethoven's 9th
- cancel Dave and Liz who were coming for a barbecue
and unable to go to stay with David Hunters friends in Hunter Vally which we had looked forward to .
Plus we are due to go to a Gershwin concert on wed night so hopefully my energy level will improve
plus dinner out on Friday our last day with a backpacker from Hfd.
Easter weekend and weather great so will rest for a few days - Guinness and steak
Hope we can get a porter at airport to help with suitcases
More later - contingency plans below
