R & R stayed eighteen nights at J’s in Dandenong
from Wednesday 14/11/2018 to Saturday 1/12/2018. Having driven from Dromana they visited J in
hospital on Wednesday and Thursday before being allowed to bring him home on
the Friday. Much of their stay revolved around shopping for food, cooking,
washing and just supporting J in adjusting to greater independence after being
in hospital for so long. As well as
helping put a sock and shoe on when necessary, R & R reminded J to take his
medicines and encouraged him with his exercises. In between J was keen to do as much as
possible so enlisted RL to drive him to stadiums where he needed to see the
venue, chat with a foreman, take measurements or visit a friend. RA went along for the ride. Going to Sale provided RL with the chance to
show J the swing bridge while they had a coffee break. RL had the opportunity to drive on tolled
roads as J’s vehicles had e-tags and through both the Domain and Burnley
Tunnels, which normally he would avoid as RA does not like them. He also drove a couple of J’s trucks around
Dandenong. J was keen, as always to take
R & R to the Dandenong Sunday Market on the Drive-In grounds. R & R were keen to join him, as well as
doing a few of the op shops in Dandenong and Cranbourne. All in all R & R were kept busy … and
enjoyed getting to know J better.
