An old boat awaits restoration at the Asbridges Bay marina.
Back in the city. At first we though my mum had pneumonia (again). Instead, she's been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. The doctor says this happens some times when you go through the kind of trauma my mum has been through the last few months. Her taking up smoking again probably hasn't helped much either.
It's been a harrowing few days, but things are starting to look a bit more positive. We talked things out, and I think my mum's finally realizing that she needs to make some serious changes in her lifestyle. This was a close call, but it could have been worse. It's not too late to try and make it better.
Even old boats can be made seaworthy again, after all.
