Well. Last time I told you about the cinema, right.
Ohhhhh did my back hurt - maybe it was the "comphy" chairs?
Ingo hung me up upside down (on his shoulders, too!!!! We were young!) and that helped, but in Wyndham we finally went to the hospital.
The Lonely Planet (hahaha, a guide for "low-cost travellers"!) warned just being looked at costs $35. Well, so what... my back!
They got (now just hold your breath) my urine (ugh - LOL) AND my blood and we waited for the results.
I was told to go in to the doc.
Ingo came with me.
The doc asked where we´re from, what we were doing (driving! All day long, every day, too.), asked me to hop on his table, turned my back in both directions several times (uhhh, the noise), said to get out of the car a couple of times and turn my back and... oh, by the way... gave us tips where to go.
I paid nothing.
Not a cent.
And, this is sad... he said I´m a clean, sober person, he does not have this often.
(An explanation for those who probably don´t know... Aborigines, as Indians cannot have alcohol but since to many the future - and present - is very dim they consume.
I´ve seen sad situations - and promising ones, too!)
This is what happened.
We had some crazy encounters!

Lucky you having a free consultation Iris, and the Dr was nice to give you travelling tips.
I don't think I'd ever seen the giant croc and roo before.
Yes, I was lucky indeed! Also that it was just some tension in my back!
We were afraid it might be the kidneys or something...
Well, make a road trip to visit croc and roo :-)
Glad to hear you are alright! Sounds like a nice doc.
Couple of big critters there Iris 😀😀 I'm happy you had a good experience with an Aussie doctor, sad that you had to go in the first place though! Yes there are going to be many new places for you to explore on this trip, exciting huh 😀
Lois, he was a very nice doc indeed :-)
Grace, well, ... that happens (or can happen) when you drive all day long - wonder how roadtrain drivers and people like that manage?
