    Default JOW104 in trouble

    John & Janet arrived in Melbourne last week for a 6 month holiday. There were some problems with accommodation, so they headed north and arranged to spend a few days with us.

    Unfortunately, on Tuesday night as we were heading out for dinner, Janet tripped, and is now in Hornsby Hospital recovering from a complete hip ball & socket replacement.

    Janet will be hospitalised for the next 3 weeks, and they cannot fly home for at least 13 weeks. If anyone knows of reasonably priced ground floor accommodation for any period during this time it would be greatly appreciated. John is staying with us at present, but as my father in law is unwell and we are pretty worried about him, it would help us and them a great deal if you could help with this.

    Thanks,
    Alex
