Cape Town has beautiful sunny skies. I will be putting my babies out for some sunshine as well. [emoji1] [emoji1] I hope that the sunshine helps Lola to at least perk up. View attachment 238398
It's clouded over here now :(.
My nephew called at Cape Town on the QM2 and when my sister was tracking him on the Marine Tracker website we could see sataliite images of CT so although I didn't manage to get to there when I visited SA many years ago I have been to the top of Table Mountain;)

Alhough I had to get Lola out of his hide he has had a nice long soak and passed wee and urates which looked normal. He was quite alert and stretched out and was peeping over the top watching me when I moved away. He has had a wander and eaten RB soaked leaves and I managed to get some more RB water into him by using the syringe dipped in cucumber trick.
I have blocked off some of his room so that he stays near the mvb and basks for a while. Hoping he will eat some more shortly. I have ordered some Oxbow Critical Care fine grind so that although he isn't being tube fed I can perhaps syringe feed it or spread it in his leaves to bulk up his intake.

Table Mountain is awesome. A bit expensive for us locals.

Good Morning Dan. How are you.
I feel like I've been out by a truck.
I was in so much pain last night I could not sleep.
The erythema nodosum and pyoderma gangrenosum is getting worse on my legs and now I have a place on my arm also. I have a headache that won't go away no matter what I take that feels like a nail stuck in my head. This is day 4 with it. It's a strange localized pain that just hits a place with about a 2-3" diameter. Lately I have a serious wound next to my stoma that has been causing lots of pain.

I go back to the doc Tuesday. Hopefully they can give me something to help.

Oh no Dan. I am so sorry this is happening to you. If only we could bring Tuesday closer for both you and Lyn.

This sounds absolutely miserable.☹️
I sure hope the docs can get you SOME sort of relief! [emoji22]

Is that the cable car ride or do you have to pay if you walk up from Signal Hill side or some other place too?
I'm talking as if I know the place well but in reality know nothing about it :rolleyes:
Lol. The cable car. Walking up and down is free of course ( although you do pay later on with the sore muscles [emoji6]) with my back I cannot walk up Table Mountain. So I would need to use the cable car. But here is a puc just for you. The others have already seen it. This was taken 3/4 ways up from Lions head. Which I surprised myself with and did manage to walk up. 20180215_183514.jpg
