I Did the
Steps
  Day Nine Post-Op. I was determined to
do half the steps today, I really needed to prove to Bear that I was well enough
to be taken out on the bus tomorrow as promised, only if you
are a good girl. But, I am. We’ll
see.
  Things went well and, with a
breather I made it to the top. There I was rewarded
with a Beez Neez coloured Suzuki – what a
machine.
 I asked Bear to take a picture of
the decorated hedge, but was caught having a sit
down.
 Whilst I finished my rest Bear took a
picture of the plaque at the top of the steps.
Cammeray Marina. The suburb name of
Cammeray comes from Cammeraygals, the original inhabitants of this land who
occupied the clifftops and waterway of Middle Harbour. The boatmen and services
of Sydney Harbour played a vital role in North Sydney’s early development and
the land occupied by Cammeray Marina has a continuous history of boating
services since before 1880s. The tradition of boat repairs is now in the hands
of the Rabbitts family, the owners of the marina since 1960s.
North Sydney Council. North Shore
Historical Society. The Rabbitts Family.
 Bear collected the post from the box
at the bottom of the first flight and as it was as light as a feather I was
allowed to carry it into the office for Nereida. I went to speak but was gasping
a bit. “Don’t speak until the second hand is at the bottom.” I had forty
seconds. It was then wonderful to chat, the only time previous to now was the
day we arrived and quite a bit has happened since then. Nereida was very pleased
that I had made it to the top as last year her mum had had a similar event but
had spent eight days in intensive care. How lucky I am. The doctors had said
“three days later and ...........” My excitement flooded out, I had done it.
Outside, Clara
the elderly lady, was utterly unimpressed with my achievement. Back home
for a long, cool drink before lunch and a victory on the backgammon board. I
even helped with supper but lost at Mexican train dominoes, oh well, time for
bed, a very happy Pepe.
ALL IN ALL

IMPRESSED |
