As most of you know we have had an accident. I thought I would use this blog to let you know mostly my thought and travels during Ness' recoverer. It will include Ness' progress.
Feeling a lot happier tonight Ness was very tired she was also in a better place mentally. We have made some small gains. I have access to a computer and internet, this is great- less work for the phones. My big challenge is returning to Gin Gin- I feel sick just writing it. I need to remove all personal items from the van and car. The little brother is driving a truck from Wollongong to help me. Karen from Brisbane- we meet in Darwin- is driving me to Gin Gin.
Ok how did we get here- unsure how many know why we were travelling when we were. We obtained jobs with Serco in a new Immigration Centre in Darwin as Community Services Officers. It is very good pay. The whole process from applying to actually getting the jobs seem to take forever we were both getting very fustrated. We got the Jobs, needed to be in Darwin by the 11th July, then Serco had problems getting the contracts out.
Ness stuff this lets go. We asked JL if she wanted to come for a holiday borrowed some money (as we had used the last of our money fixing up the van) and left Saturday 18th June. We didnt tell many as that is our usual style we like to come and go as we please. Saturday night we stayed in a Motel in Guyra (too cold for the van) Sunday night was Gympie Monday the trip ended dramatically.
As you know Ness' injuries were horrific, she was helicoptered from site of the accident. the cat was taken to the vet by a lovely girl unsure if she had a partner or not. JL and I were taken by ambulance to Gin Gin Hospitial. I was not happy I wanted to go with Ness. I was held at the hosp for 4 hrs as I had bumped my head and then realised I didnt know where I was going or what I was doing- a very scary feeling. I had not had any word on how ness was I was given a phone number for the social worker... but what if she has bad news. A nurse at Gin Gin Hosp helped she booked two seats on the 11pm bus for us both. A police officer turned up to see if I wanted any gear and to let me know that I need to have the site cleaned up- shit shit shit. he did have a suggestion and I took it, a local did this for a living. He then took me out to the site. I dont remember much of it-I do remember finding my large smokey quartz crystal and crystal ball. The jewellery box was empty and I couldnt find my wedding ring. we did find our suitcase and I packed that with cloths that was laying about and shoes. The funny thing is 3/4 of it is Ness'. The cop then asked did we have any "pot" in the van as he found all my herbs I quickly explained they were all legal herbs I use in aromatherapy, thats all good. Getting a little confused about what I'm writing so I will sign off and continue this on Sunday.
Thank You for your support- we miss you all.
