Third time's the charm

Just received the call from Dr Chua that they will be doing the third blood pleurodesis today. 

 I really really hope that it will be successful this time round. It has been way too long and I'm worried for my dad.  

Please let him be strong willed enough to go through this.

An adventurous day

Today has gotta be the most interesting of my trip in Sydney. 

We went up to Blue Mountains and it was freezing!  But we finally got to see the Three Sisters.

We then took a long drive to Jenolan Caves. I tried to sleep in the car along the way to the caves, my god, when I woke up, we were on this windy road going down the mountain. Reminds me of Taiwan when we were driving to Taroko Gouge. 

But the cave was spectacular. And John went on the cave tour with us. I was impressed with him, I was worried that he might not be able to do it but he did! 

The adventure started when we left the cave and started on the windy road back up. Shortly after we started, his car got a puncture. We had to stop by the side of the road to change tyre.  But it turned out that he doesn't have a jack in his car. We had to wait for a car to drive by and it was not a road that has a lot of traffic. Thank god a mini bus stopped but his jack is different. We stopped another car which happened to be the American couple who were in the cave tour with us.  They were not very nice, they said they don't have and drove off. Come on! They have a rented car and should have a jack. So unhelpful.  Luckily another car stopped and we managed to borrow the jack and changed the tyre.

And so we went on our way back to Sydney.  It was a rather scary ride back especially towards the end. 

We could see that John was tired but he refused to let Jeff drive. He became more reckless and for the first time, I actually fear for my life and couldn't wait to get home. I was so glad when we finally pulled up into his driveway coz even along the small road, he was driving so fast.

Thank god, there's only one more day left and we will be going out on our own tomorrow without taking the car.  I really can't take his driving anymore, especially long distance.
