Helen awoke this morning to the most excruciating pain and could not walk very well at all.
We said our goodbyes to the other passengers on the boat, paid the bar bill and headed to Airlie Beach Doctors when we docked.
Helen saw the doctor which did not cost as much as we thought ($70) and the he wanted her to have a MRI scan but she promised to rest as much as possible until we returned home and if it got worse that we would go to a Dr in Melbourne. We left the surgery with a prescription for Valium, Panadeine and Ibuprofen. We were getting picked up at 12 to be taken to the airport for our Melbourne flight via Brisbane and we made it to the pick up point by 12.10 - plus we still had to go to the chemist! The transfer guy was fab and waited for us. Also the prescription did not cost as much as I thought it would - $41.

We made it to the airport on time and was greeted by a fellow sailing passenger - Marjoram - she was a welcome face and helped us with our bags as I had to get Helen a wheel chair. All checked in and Marjoram helped us so much we were so grateful - she is a corporate lawyer taking a year out to travel the world, we could not thank her enough for help, she even helped us to our taxi in Melbourne.
We are now at our Hotel which is Alto on Bourke - which is described as a Boutique Eco Friendly hotel. We have been upgraded to a one bed apartment which is super fantastic smashing great! They have dial out menu for lots of places in Melbourne so we have decided to stay in and chill and let Helen's tablets do their job so that we can go on our planned excursions tomorrow.
In sickness and in health springs to mind!!
