By chance today we discovered that the highway is open.
Joel fell off his rip-stick and hurt his thumb. On the way to the hospital in at Maclean I noticed that cars were being allowed to drive towards Ballina so I stopped and asked the RTA people if the road was opened. It was.....so then I phoned Mark and got him to get his flight changed to today so that he could fly up.
He did and he is on his way. He got our neighbour to drive him into the airport and got there just in time to catch his flight. Any later and he wouldn't have made it.
I'm glad Joel was pushing me to take him into the hospital or we would never have known.
Mum has gone to Ballina to get him and we are at home madly packing.
I'm so pleased to be able to head home because now Mark will only miss one day at work instead of two.
I must say I will miss the easy going life I have had at Yamba. Once I get back to Sydney I will hit the ground running as we get ready for school, I finish 2 major assignments in 2 weeks, transport Brendan to his Green Shield finals, take Joel for his orthodontist check up, see my specialist, have an infusion, and do all the other things that I haven't though of yet.
Oh well it has been nice being in holiday mode for so long.
Mum and I haven't even had any fights and I have been here for a month and 1 day!
As for Joel's thumb, we didn't stay at the hospital as it was full and we were way down the priority list so it looked like we would be there all day. The plan is that now we will get it x rayed when we get back to Sydney if it is still sore.
