Here it is, another week gone by. The good news: my hand doesn't appear to be broken. The bad news: my car needs a power steering rack that is going to cost $860.
Tuesday I had an xray done on my hand, and from what I could see (Dr Toni) it looks pretty normal. I'll need to go back to the doctor and have him confirm that, but I think it's getting better. The Doc told me to take Voltarin, an anti-inflammatory that has made much of the swelling go down.
Thursday I put the car in for a service, and to check out where the power steering oil is going to, and the news was a shocker. Unfortunately it's one of those things that left unfixed, will end up a more expensive repair job, so I have to bite the bullet and pay the money to have it repaired.
...Footy: Junee Under 12s 56 def Harden 0...
Today we went to Booroowa for football. I'd never been to Booroowa before, it's a small town on the other side of Harden (another small town), this side of Young (a slightly bigger town). It took us and hour and a half to get there, and as usual, I missed the turn-off on the way home and we ended up at Yass. There's a big MacDonalds there, so we had a feed and turned around and drove back home, getting home 2 hours later than we should have, but we had nothing better to do so it turned into an adventure. A couple of police cars screamed past us with sirens flashing on our way home (going the other way), so I fear there must have been a bad accident behind us. It's enough to make you slow down a tad and enjoy the scenery.
I should mention that Alex scored a try and kicked a goal today. Yesterday he finally got his mop cut off and is looking a little more respectable. I'd post a photo, but the camera is still broken, and I tried to return it to the shop today but the shop assistant insisted it had been dropped and told me to ring Kodak. It looks like it's been dropped too, but it worked fine for a while after that, now there's a lens error. Maybe it needs dropping again. As usual, nobody dropped it in the first place!
