We are on holiday??

We made it and are at the Novatel Twin Waters Resort.  I put Louis in kennels yesterday afternoon (Saturday) but Margaret was still looking for him in the evening.  We had a leisurely morning and left home at 11.30 am after I had packed. We stopped at Coolum for a light lunch and checked in just before 2.00 pm.  After a quick tour of the reception area and a cup of tea/coffee I put Margaret to bed for a rest while I got my computer logged into emails etc.

The suite is great with a separate lounge/dining/kitchen area away from the bedroom/en-suite area.  The only problem is that the couches in the lounge are too low and soft and Margaret got stranded when she sat on one.  I had to drag the coffee table close to her so she could get up using it as a firm support.    She forgot later and got stuck again!!  The loo in the en-suite is also a problem as there are no rails to help her get up so i have to maneuverer her wheely-walker into the loo so she can use it as a support.  This means that I can expect to have rescue her during the night.  Note that this is the same suite which we had last August when Margaret had no problems.  I hadn't realized how weak she has  got since then.
 
We went to dinner at 6.30 pm and had an Indian/Asian buffet with a bottle of Chardonnay.  Wwe were back in the room at 8.30 pm and Margaret wanted to go to bed.  I got her into bed and tried to give her her tablets (nine) but she wouldn't sit up to drink some water.  Instead the vomited the whole lot down the front of her nightie and on her bedding.  I cleaned her up and, after identifying her painkillers and sleeping tablets in the debris gave her some more (four) but she will have to do without the others tonight.

A great start to a holiday!!
