Unhappy Help - we're doomed!!!!!!!

We're off to Oz next week.Hubby 's just got back from the doctors today with fluid on the knee - he's been given strong antibiotics and told that if it doesn't clear he'll need hospital. Bloke across the road just told me a horror story of his mate nearly loosing his leg with same thing on a flight to U.S (cheers for that)Feels like we're doomed!!!!!!!!Anybody had anything similar.We've worked every hour God sends in overtime for this holiday.Feeling totally crap.
Any words of wisdom ?
Anyone claimed on argos travel insurance before?
Make me feel better
Cheers
Nick

Hubby's knee turned out to be a bacterial infection caused by a bite!!!!Strong antibiotics seem to be working.Bloody typical he says to get bit by one of your bloody own.
Feeling much more positive about going to Oz next week.Break up tomorrow - no kids for 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got two you can have if you suffer withdrawal symptoms :scared: They're lovely, honest, especially when with someone other than their mother. Will only nag for an ipod every five minutes.

Talking Re: Help - we're doomed!!!!!!!

We're flying Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong (from Heathrow) next Tuesday night.... going on to Brisbane on Friday...... We'll have 3 children - and if my son's current over-excitement is anything to go by it will be a loooooooooooooooooong flight!!! So, feel free to borrow one if you get withdrawl symptoms!

This is very weird..(cue weird sounding music??).. I've been searching for your thread all day..... because we are off tomorrow ( ) and yesterday, all of a sudden, I woke up with a couple of really sore spots on my shin... got more sore, red, itchy, and burning.... ended up being referred by the pharmacist to the doctor, and it's a "funny bite"????? Is there some bizarre type of spider going around 'testing' people out to see if they'll suit the Australian life??? What's going on - okay, I admit, I get eaten alive by mossies or midges, but this is a completely different type of bite!!!!

Anyway, at least the itching will give me something else to thing about other that how INCREDIBLY over-excited, over-wrought, and IRRITATING my children are being.... and we don't leave for another 21 hours!!!!!

And this is only a taster.... god help us if/when we make the final move!!!!!!! :scared:
