Gina's fall

My reverie in the olive groves was rudely disturbed at about 3.00pm by the approach of a staff car and the news that Gina had injured herself and was in Pylos hospital. In the town square of Koukounara she had misjudged a jump down from the back of a trailer and fell, literally on her face. She has a suspected very slight fracture to the bridge of her nose and another slight one in her left wrist. I was taken post haste to the hospital where I found my wife being looked after not only by doctors and nurses, but also by fellow students and university staff. She was shaken but unstirred!

By the time she had plugs inserted in her nose Miss Piggy wasn’t in it! We made an appointment for X-rays the following morning and took her home to the hotel and bed.

She received superb care from the hospital and wonderful support from the university.
