Day 116 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

Did a bit of shopping, Gerald wasn't that well. So he stayed home while Dena and I went down to Reedy Creek Moto X track on the Gold Coast to watch Jake.

First race, (250) he was leading and fell off in one of the burns and couldn't get the bike off him. Race two (450) another bike took him out over that same burn, but he came back from last to 5th third race (250) he stalled at the start and was charging through the pack and a at the bottom of the track another rider he was catching up with forced him off, I know who it was. Race four (450) he won easily. Race five (250) he won. Race four (450) he ended up with back spasms, but still finished 8th. There were about 18 bikes in each rack.

Good result today, about time with the week we have had.

Day 114 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

Saw a cardio consultant this morning and it turns out I have an extra electrical circuit in my heart. 4% of people have it and only 1% can access it. They have told me of several tricks to try and get my heart back into rhythm, and if all fails they have given me some tablets to carry with me.

So all is well

Day 113 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

Brandon drove us back to Beenleigh to his doctor who was very concerned about the little scafoyd bone that he has fractured. So Brandon drove us over to the Logan Hospital to get his wrist plastered and the doctor that looked at the X ray impressed on us that he had to be very careful with it so he is plaster right up to the elbow. No riding or driving for six weeks.

Got home and I was just laying back on the couch in the bus and I started to have heart palpitations and I ended up in the Princess Alexandria Hospital, in Recus and had to have injection to stop the heart. After three tries it worked but I felt like I was dying. Spent the night there.

What a bad week so far.

Day 112 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

Had to take Brandon to X ray at Beenleigh. Didn't take long. Gerald found a place to get a couple of satellite dishes, one for Trevor and one for the Madden's bus.

Got home and Gerald assembled a dish for the bus. Then Ben informed us he had a project for school that had to be in in the morning. See pics.

Day 111 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010

Text Dena to say we would be at her place at 12.30 and she text back that their dog Sprocket and been killed on the road over night and Brandon had a suspected broken wrist.

Brandon had buried Sprocket by the time we got there, which I am sure didn't do his wrist much good. Now they only have Tilly

Nola and I went to the Markets near Cotton Tree. Got a couple of tops. Trevor and Nola are staying here at least another week, but they had to move.

I went for a walk along the beach and paddled in the water and it was nice and warm.

Went to tea at the Surf Club and Gerald this time won on the pokies.
