REES'S ACCIDENT

Today, as I write this, Rees is recovering after a fall from his pushbike yesterday! While I was off walking, Rees & his friend, Brian, were out riding our fold-up pushbikes, checking out the local chandeliers, when on their return, Rees hit a trench in the footpath & went head over turkey, straight over the handlebars of the bike & onto the road! It was a good thing that there wasn't too much traffic around or he might've ended up worse off than he is. He already had a doctor's appointment to have the stitches removed from his head today, after having a sun cancer cut off, so the doctor was more than surprised when Rees limped into his office, covered in plasters & bandages. After an X-ray on his left knee to make sure there weren't any broken bones, the rest of his scratches & abrasions were cleaned & re-dressed. Then he was sent home to rest & elevate the knee in the hope that the swelling will go down over the next few days. Meanwhile, our plans for leaving Airlie Beach have been put on hold until Rees becomes more agile & capable of moving without pain.
