#304 Saturday 2 July

Welcome to Helen! (Sally's mum) who arrived from NZ at 6pm last night and is staying for a week.

This morning Helen's having a "baptism of fire" ... Kaylia is in full "nagging" mode .... something is wrong but it is so hard to work out what it is. Trial and error. At times like this the best course is usually the course of least resistance .... car. A car trip has been 99% reliable over the years ... it nearly always calms her. The only time that I can recall it failing was the last trip to Bali ... it was the first day there and our new 'rule' for Bali is that we should not attempt to do anything on the first day.
(Naomi later says "Duh! Of course she's going to act up when there's a new person in the house.")

Yesterday I had my 6 week review of the wrist. The 'wrist doctor' says that of the 4 points, two - the LH solid arrows - have clearly fused ..... the point shown by the RH solid arrow can't be seen .... and the dotted arrow point at the lower right has not fused yet. This will happen, it will just take longer.
"Come back in 3 months. Use it as much as low level discomfort allows." he says. It's great to be free of the splint!

This afternoon we went on a Kings Park tour and stopped for Nandos on the way home .... A good afternoon.
