Coooeee!!! Where are you Craig?

[BruceS]

Last I heard I think you were heading up the Strzelecki Track or somewhere?
Are you still travelling?
Very hot tomorrow so fill the water bag!!

[Dot]

Reckon they should be in Cairns any time now.

[Craig]

Sorry guys, we are still in Tennant Creek. I started to get a bit dizzy about 100km's south of here so we checked into a caravan jail in Tennant Creek. The next day I could barely walk so I went to the hospital. And there I stayed for the night drugged up on Valium and who knows what else. I had vertigo, vomiting and nausea. They were also concerned that I may have had another DVT. The blood clot tests and x-rays came back all good (thank god, I didn't want to go through that again). But the vertigo is preventing me from driving. I am slowly getting better and can now focus on the screen. Hopefully we'll move off tomorrow, depending on how I feel in the morning. Unfortunately Cheryl can't drive the MH but she can get the car out of the trailer in an emergency.

You poor old fella, hope you are well and truly on the mend, could also of been the extreme heat with all that climbing you have been doing lately. Get some (metallic) L plates for Cheryl if needed to put on the MH in case of emergency she can just put the thing in gear and go. We enquired just in case G needed to drive our MH and that is what we were told. No learners permit required if Cheryl has a car licence and you have had your appropriate licence for at least 12mths. Take it easy.

[Craig]

No not the heat, Dot. It is a viral thing in the inner ear. They can only treat the symptoms and just let the body correct itself. Cheryl won't drive the MH, too big and too many gears to put it in

[Dot]

Yeah I was having a dig at your climbing exploits or posing of them should I say Just tell her to pick a gear and ride the hell outa the clutch Vertigo is one scary thing to experience.

[GregnDee]

Take it easy matie, I had something similar, doc put me on phenergan and I had to lay down for several days... The room kept going round, it was AWEFUL.

So stay put as long as it takes.

Cheers
Dee

[Craig]

Yeah I'm on a fairly high dose of Prednisolone and phenergan. It is the worst feeling not being able to focus and the room continually spinning.

[Dot]

May as well get pissed, at least there will be a reason for the head spins.

[Craig]

it's cheaper this way
