8..Underway finally

out of the hospital and underway !!!!! ! Woohoo the boats a buzzin underneath me… the air con is blowing away keeping it nice n cool… .. We got me aboard with as much elegance as a hippo climbing a ladder… lol … but we got me there… not too terrifying … I was going to stay up top but thought better of it in the sun.. so, I opted for the below… I think I might just have me a little sleep this afternoon while the boys do their thing .. I think I’ve put on weight since being in the hospital. The food was just too good... The service excellent, I really did enjoy my stay at my 5-star hotel… All the nurses were wonderful .. from the little one that seemed barely old enough to work let alone have a kid, she seemed to buzz in and then went to the end of the bed with what was a little skip and stood to attention saying so how can I help you .. I almost burst out laughing... Nurse scrub …. Oh man didn’t she scrub my back with a scratchy towel, attending to my itches …heavenly , I couldn’t help but moan …I think this nurse liked her scrub job just a little too much she said last night she was enjoying herself while washing and creaming up my front … lol there were mainly black fellas (girls inc) on the ward. And just little ol’ me .. it was lovely to see the nurses and how they handled the elderly women and the rest of the family. They attend to the indigenous cultures as well, in a bigger bath room , they held a healing ceremony.. another lady was wheeled outside of an evening to see the sunset.The glooms … 1 doctor, 1nurse & 1 social worker. Doctor gloom, who decided to make sure I knew the seas would be rough and how bad it could be and how if I blew up again out at sea and had to be rescued I would be jeopardising the lives of the personal coming to save me.. I blew back at him, getting very cranky with what he was saying. almost told him to leave. Well yesterday he came in to apologise to me for his behaviour and how he could have said it all differently. Nurse doom.A couple of them but the one that sticks out is the baby nurse that seemed not old enough… pointing as well to the very rough seas I’d encounter and again with the rescue .. Then social worker doom … Oh boy oh boy does this bird have the wrong end of the stick .. she seems to think I’m controlled by my santa that this is not my decision, that I’m to timid or something to tell him I don’t want to do it any more …crikey, where did she get such a twisted idea from .. and all the while I was trying to convince her, she was saying , who are you trying to convince , sounds like yourself … My santa is the most wonderful, caring, supportive, loving husband a girl could ever ask for.. he is definitely my other half .. the best half for sure … I love him so much … yet still after all this she was not convinced … I’m gobsmacked .. thankfully he arrived just in time for her to go and us to get the flock outta there… I cannot believe she still thought I was controlled and going against my will. Poor woman .. Santa just popped into the Galley to get a drink and see how I was going… man he is sooooo happy , gave me a big kiss and said hunny we are underway … he is so happy to have me here with him when the scenario was going to be so different.. I’m just as happy as he is, especially when I see him this happy. we are just tied together in one very neat little knot and I love it . bye bye Nhulunbuy, hello darwin (in 3 days time)
