Funtime

Nameste Hello. Well what a week its been in India! Full of excitement, we go back to last Friday when my mate Tenno arrived to substitute for the injured Vee. The trip to the airport to pick him up was a hair-raiser and i thought for a few minutes when the driver pulled in to fill up with petrol but was in too much of a rush to turn the car off, that I wasn't going to make it! Obviously it wasn't a big deal, no one seemed to really care and we all lived. Then on Saturday Tenno and I went out to the main tourist hangout Cannought Place, we went to the market, had a drink in a bar and lazed around for the afternoon, learning later when we got back and watched the late night news that the place was bombed 3 hours after we left! We're starting to think that maybe we shouldn't travel together! The hospital is at full capacity at the moment and 90% of us are Australians, a really good bunch of people that are making the stay here a lot easier. We are showing the Indians how we do it down under with loud sessions gambling and drinking (non-patients only). Rest assured all the fun is not detracting from the serious business of waking up my bottom half. Since my last update I've had another increase in balance, which makes the walking with crutches a lot easier and the foot movement when standing just with a walking stick can now be recognised as an actual step! Again its all very frustratingly slow and some days are much better than others but we are starting to wind it up and next week i'm guessing will be filled with procedures and big injections to fill me up before i get home saturday week! Go Doggies!!
