Well. It seems that five months of travelling have definitley taken their toll on my body.....
It's been absolutely wonderful to be back in Noosa - got a nice villa (thanks to Noz) and have relaxed by the pool, sat on the beach, been shopping, went for drinks up at the hostel again, and generally had a nice time... but went to the doctors on when we got here on Monday and the put me on a nebuliser straight away! The doctor listened to my chest, and immediately said it wasnt good so gave me two inhalers (one's a steroid) to take (I've never even had asthma!) and some antibiotics to try and clear up this cough... but he was very serious in saying that if I felt worse to come straight back and if I didnt feel any better by Wednesday to go back for an x-ray.
So, as I was lying on the beach this morning (Wednesday) and couldnt hear the waves over the sound of my wheezing breathing, I thought I'd better get myself back to he medical centre. Went back and they sent me for a chest x-ray straight away! Had to take the results back to the doctor, and she said I'm borderline pnuemonia!!!! That's not good! There's an infection in my left lung, so she gave me some more antibiotics and said to up the inhaler dosage... phew.... I hope I feel better soon - Christmas is just round the corner!
Have decided to fly from Brisbane down to Sydney on Friday and not go to the Surf Camp with the OZ Bus just yet... just got absolutely no energy so there's no way I can get in a surfboard! Will have to do that after xmas maybe.... Going to spend Christmas with Claire and then have New Year with Beth and hopefully see some friends from home and catch up with some I've met here in Australia!
