Revenge

Not again, you will think, that bastard is going on a holiday again !

No, i truly have to confirm you that i `m not going on a holiday again. The revenge that i`m talking about was not mine. It was time that work and nature had to have there payback.

So, two days after i got back, not even fully recovered of my big expedition in Thailand, work send me on a bush trip to Yulara. Again the rock, i`m thinking to relocate to that rock, after the eight bush trip to the resort. This time the job was a bit more dirty. We had to clean out the area where all the unclean water ends up. Quite a big area, we had to dig a 250 square meter of dirt away, about 1 meter deep, fill it with plastic boxes and fill it up with dirt again. So it was time to learn to drive a bobcat and tipper. That was fun. Driving like a madman, i was well trained back in Thailand, scoping out dirt , throwing it in the tipper, and back again into the dirt. And after a hard days work , relaxing in my 6 stars room. It was almost that i never left Thailand, except he nighttime hours.

But nature had something in petto for me, My eyes were a bit red the last days. It started with one eye, and soon my other eye started to look red too. No worries, it will go away, i`m forty, so my body was a bit exhausted i thought. But after a few days my eyes were almost popping out of my skull. Swollow and almost no more white in my eyes, scary i know. It`s not a photo that i would place on a datingsite.

So time to see the nurses in Yulara. Mmmhhh, thats no good, we will have to send you back to Alice with the flying doctors. At that time , my sight was going backwards too. I had a view of the world , like when you are under water and open your eyes . So, almost blind, and hitting the wings of the plane with my head, i stepped on the plane , and flew back. It was almost that i was in the series "the flying doctors"of a few years back. I only couldn`t see if it was the same crew.

So i can add a new experience on my list, flying with the flying doctors, it is not something everybody can do.

The hospital, Alice Springs, after several tests they found out that i had a severe conjunctivitis on both eyes with an infection as bonus. Highly contaminated.

So the last days i`m living constantly under water avoiding people and people avoiding me. The good thing was i had a free week, mmmh i thought it was a good thing. Pretty boring , living like a blind man. No movies, no books, no painting. Imagine going to the toilet and trying to aim at a blurry toilet opening, but i have to confess, i`m getting better in my aiming.

I`m living under constant heavy painkillers, antibiotics and some creme i have to put in my eyes every 6 hours. I just wonder where the thoughts where from the doctors when they told me to put some cream in my eyes. For godsake, i can`t even see my eyes, lets say putting something in it. I almost blinded myself the first time with the tube.

But i`m recovering , as prove this post on my blog, and with a prospect of another week paid sick leave.
