Changes are Afoot

This time yesterday I had just gotten up from overnighting at the hospital with Merril.
Our plans for the next week are now very different to what they were this time yesterday.  Friday we were heading off on a cruise.  The plan had been, see the doctor, get cleared, and go on holidays while the builder finished our granny flat.
Yesterday changed all that.  Merril had a bit of a turn yesterday before seeing the doctor.  The doctor said it was probably a “settling” but that is what we thought it may be.  It may have been meal related.  But it really changed our plans.  We are now not going on a cruise.
That was Merril’s decision.  I did not want to be the one who put off the cruise, but I must say I agree with the decision.  It may have never happened, but we did not want Merril airlifted off a boat back to Australia.
So both Merril and I have changed our leave.  Ok it is imaginary but for Merril it is now sick leave rather than holiday leave and for me it is carers leave.  Our holidays are still intact.  Just for a different time.
Actually just taking our cruise later would have been the best case scenario for us.  We are trying, but are not confident.  Merril had talked to the company.  They said yes you can postpone the trip but there will be a penalty.  We could live with that until we heard what the penalty was.  The penalty was the exact amount we had paid for the trip.  When Merril pointed that out she was told yes we don’t have a refund policy.
So at this stage that is all water under the bridge, or probably more correctly water under the boat.
So we will be here but incognito for a time.  While I will do all that caring involves, I will do other things as I can.  I have a few tasks I will be able to do while around but the majority of them will not happen through me as had been planned.  The builder has said they are ahead of schedule here and will not be seen until next week.   
So here we are. We do not know what the future holds but thankfully we know who holds the future.
