Margaret, how awful! No wonder you can't focus on painting. You may find that it becomes a much-needed escape, though, as your husband convalesces. Doesn't Australia have the sort of public health insurance that England offers? It's hard to be hit by double devastation: a fractured husband and a fractured bank account at the same time. At least he doesn't need to be mobile to function at work, although I suspect you'll need to provide at least moral support!
I'm just rereading "A Town Like Alice" and your mention of Cairns struck me. I've never been to Australia but have always loved Nevil Shute's books, where he often deals with Australian places and culture. Sorry you can't be enjoying it at the moment. Here's hoping your husband (and your bank account) have a quick recovery.
