Helen is Still Here

Helen was supposed to have gone back to Adelaide last Wednesday but following a visit to the doctor's we have postponed it.  Last Wednesday week she had a blood test done which, although quite good, showed up an infection.  She was sent for chest X-rays which showed up a nasty lung infection and emphysema.  Obviously flying is out of the question until the infection clears up.   She will see the doctor again tomorrow after which, if things are OK, she will go home.

Here are some photos of Helen's tribute in memory of Margaret.

Margaret loved Gerberas

I arranged a Coast'n Cruise excursion for us to Harry's Hut.  It is normally Cruise'n Coast but the tides meant that we did the coast bit first.  The following link shows the route.

I took some photos of the coast bit.

After the 40 mile beach drive we had a very rough drive to Harry's Hut for lunch and the cruise back down the Noosa  River to Noosaville.  It was a great day and Helen made friends with the driver.

I also took Helen for a drive to the local man-made lake which provides Noosa's  water supply

Boreen Point Jetty - I told her to lose some weight!

We have also made several MOW rounds together and I have been cycling and attending my computer club meetings.
