On the Way to Sydney

DIGITAL CAMERA

We traveled by train to Sydney last Wednesday and last Thursday. The picture at the top is actually one of the last pictures I took from the train on the way back home on Thursday. On Wednesday Peter had a dental appointment and I had a tooth out that gave me a lot of trouble. Thursday we went to Sydney again and I received my newly fitted dentures. I was glad then that everything was all right.

Still took it a bit easy over the weekend. Friday afternoon I played Scrabble and Rummycub with my friends as planned. Saturday morning was such a beautiful warm morning that Peter and I decided to pay the Dapto pool a visit. We didn’t regret it because the water was absolutely marvelous. Even though I had a bit of pain in my right leg, I still enjoyed some gentle exercises in the water.

A few hours later on Saturday unfortunately the pain did get really bad. Then with a lot of rest it got a bit better on Sunday. I felt I had to see the doctor on Monday morning to find out what was wrong with me. So I did go and saw the doctor this morning. He sent me to have a blood-test done. I am to go back in one week to find out the result of the blood-test.

The doctor asked me whether I had done too heavy work recently. I mentioned that last Monday we had gone back to the house where our deceased daughter had lived and which was being cleaned out. But I didn’t really have to do very much.

What else did we do last week? Well, I didn’t mention that on Wednesday we left very early in the morning to go to our friend’s place who had invited us for lunch. She went all the way to spoil us to bits! No wonder I felt so comfortable at her place that I didn’t feel like going to see the dentist. I told her, I’d rather stay at her lovely place a bit longer. Still we had to catch the bus in time for our appointments. When we did get home in the evening we had been out and about for eleven hours! Really a rather long day for us.

  1. That’s a beautiful view…and great looking food,too! That had to be very hard to clean out your daughter’s place. You might not have worked too hard, but was it stressful? I am sorry for your loss…I know you’ve mentioned it previously, but taking care of her things I would presume is very tough. I hope you will be feeling better soon, Uta. You are wonderfully active and I hope you will be pain free soon. By coincidence, I had a tooth removed last week, too. That’s stressful in a whole other way, isn’t it? LOL! Let’s both have a good, healthy week. oxo

  2. Oh yes, Debra, let’s both have a good healthy week!
    The view and the food were indeed great. Going through Gaby’s things was quite stressful at times. Most of the stuff was taken to the opp shop or .was recycled or dumped. Some other stuff found interested takers who appreciate to have something that belonged to Gaby. I have still to sort out a lot of her photos. Some people tell me to throw them out. But I don’t want to do this. Gaby accumulated an immense number of photos over a life-time. LOL, Uta.

  3. Sounds like a fabulous time had by all , I must say Lunch looks very yummy. I hope all is well at the doctors take care of that Leg, as my doctor said to me once just pace yourself.
    Hugs Sheila
