After a very hot morning and early afternoon and nothing sorted – we decided some shopping therapy was needed – off to the mall!
Thank goodness I was still carrying the Zurich party poncho and could throw on Russ as the cold wind, rain and thunderstorms hit us as we emerged….Uber time again but he was 15minutes away and we all sheltered in a stairwell as much as we could getting rather chilly and wet!
Back to the flightless birds – these Germans are trying to beat us, but there is a reason the All Blacks are the best rugby team in the world, we keep trying new things and fighting our way back to the top!
Russ and I visited another local GP this morning (the no English speaking type) but with the aid of google translater and a very helpful patient, we communicated we needed more medication (tick) and documents signed (tick almost). Raced back to send this off to the airlines, only to be informed they then require a letter and medical report. So back to doctor, with letter in hand ready for him to sign. He, at this point, did further investigation into the medical report from the hospital and tried to call the aeromedical specialist to get urgent appointment, only to actually find out the only one in Berlin is not practicing anymore. He was very kind and held both our hands and communicated his empathy, without words, sympathising with us in our predicament. And he didn’t even charge us, he was just trying to help.
Oh oh stalemate again….I have cancelled our return trip home and investigating alternatives which will work for Russ…we will get there and on the bright side, the oxygen I rented is having a holiday in our hotel, Russ has not needed it since he left the hospital!
We have very helpful receptionists at our new hotel, the lovely doctor today and a cleaner that loves George and hi fives him, not sure why she thinks that our German gets better every day, as her conversations with us get longer and friendlier (we think)
Waiting for the rain to stop, as it is beer time on a Friday night!
