Woke up to fresh snow on the hills. The 1st 2 pictures are taken at about 8am, and the 3rd at 3pm.
I got an emergency call from Spook from the Doctors and had to leave work. The doctor had decided Meg needed a 2nd anti-biotic and wanted a doze injected intravenously to catch up with the 1st one, other wise he was considering 2 days in hospital - all from a bang on the leg! Doc still thinks there must have been a tiny break in the skin to let infection in. The junior nurse who injected the antibiotic went through Meg's vein and into the muscle on the other side. This was very painful and continued to be so for quite a long time afterwards. By the time I arrived at the Dr's, Meg had dismissed her father from the room, having insisted I come. The nurse tried twice on the other arm and failed to find a vein. Meg was in no fit state to cope with any more, so the 3 nurses and doctor sent her home and breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully the extra antibiotics have made an impact oral means and normal life may resume tomorrow. I stayed with Meg, and Spook went for the wee run that we were to do together. He returned a long time later, having got lost in the bush and had to fight his way out through bigger than head high scrub. Back into the recovery position once home. Such a shame I couldn't have been with him.
He said the hail stones HAD been quite painful, but the views were spectacular.
Tomorrow is our last opportunity for an adventure this week. Meg is feeling much better but has to see the doctor 1st thing in the morning. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to persuade her to take the day off to be safe (well, to keep ME safe) - if not, Spook will have some gentle excercise planned.
