FollowVal has to be back at the doctors this morning for a checkup. This involves descending the 40 steps from our front door down to the path, (not easy on crutches) and calling our new best friend Vroni, who drives the taxi. Vroni is well used to helping incapacitated folk in and out of the van.
It’s a busy Saturday, and Val had to wait a while as one casualty after another was wheeled (sometimes literally) into the surgery. I had a nice coffee in the sunshine on the Eiger terrace, a visit to the Co-op, and another coffee on the Crystal terrace. Eventually Val was done, and Vroni picked us up and took us back to Chalet Iltis.
Back at home, the true impact of Val’s injury hits me. I need to work out how the washing machine works.
