Update on East London trip.

Update posted by Rosemarie Machetto

Well the East London trip is now behind us...sjoe, what a day was wed, 23 Nov. The lawyer hired us a vehicle to drive up to see the raf medico-legal orthopaedic surgen.

The trip 1 way is 320 & sumthing kms. The road isn't great with stop/goes and road conditions and plenty trucks. We were nearly wiped out by 2 trucks drifting onto our side of the road. We arrived at about midnight on the 22nd, at the sponsored bnb, Tidewaters Guesthouse, after getting rental at 7pm. When Dustin climbed out the vehicle, his back made 2 loud bone cracking sounds as he stood upright, he could hardly walk to the room, shuffling along then up the stairs sideways. He went over to the bed and slowly managed to ly down to try stretch the back out. His only painkiller a panado fizzy. In the morning at 10am we saw orthopaedic surgen for about 15min then having and waiting for x-rays, -+5hrs. Drove back, arrived late, very bad road, a few accidents. Dustin in so much pain from the road trip. Now we wait for results, and the lawyer to let us know where to from here. We just thank God for His travel mercies there and back.
