Darwin gitt helsa grønt lys. Det var et strev å finne legetime, og i en litt
panisk tilstand hadde jeg gitt litt opp, da to Australske medseilere kom og
gav meg en liten lapp. Lappen var et avmerket veikart, samt visittkortet til
en spesialist i hudkreft merket med onsdag 15:50. Ikke vet jeg hvordan de
hadde fått det til. Selv hadde jeg fått beskjed om at det var flrer måneders
venting. Da jeg kom til legen i dag, viste det seg at de også hadde
garantert for betaling om det skulle bli for dyrt for meg (om det måtte tas
mange biopsier). Som dere sikkert forstår, er vi målløse. Legen var grundig
og minnet oss igjen på at legen i Scarborough hadde reddet liv...... Jeg er
friskmeldt for nå, og skal på ny sjekk i Singapore. Ellers har vi det
travelt. Jørn har tatt buss rundt i hele dag for å få tak i deler til motor
og liknende. Han hadde lite hell, men kom tilbake med 5 kilo hvitost -det
var visst tilbud:)
All is well. Have had buisy days getting paperwork for customs and
indonesian visas done, and starting the hunt for different spare parts we
need to get before we leave.Also, we had trouble finding a specialist in
skin cancer which had any appointments available. It all got into a bit of a
panicked situation, but fellow cruisers (australian), somehow found a good
surgeon/skin doctor and got me an appointment today (how nice is that, we're speachless).
The skin doctor was very nice. I was
again reminded that the doctor in Scarboaough had saved my life. For now,
everything looked good. I have to get checked again in Singapore. We're very
happy that all went well. Now, I can sleep again :) Jorn tried all day to
get som parts for the engine. Instead he came back with 5 kilos of
cheese -which had been on sale. Darwin really is a lovely place -and the
Mindle Beach sunset markets are fantasic.
