ex-CAI DONE5 booked and paid for; awaiting ticket issuance.

So this morning (Australian time) I bit the bullet and purchased my annual RTW ticket.
Even though I am unsure if I will be able travel it (dealing with a medical issue)
But I figured cancelling will only cost me 5% of the very low base fare
Whereas missing out on the great fare would cost me much more.
I had been playing with various ex-CAI itineraries for a while, and prior to the EGP devaluation the all-in cost was coming to around AUD12,500
The all-in cost of my ticket is ~AUD8,400. So a saving of about AUD4,000

ETA
So now it's close of business in Australia, and no email from Qantas with the eTicket
BUT checking the booking on web sites of airlines in the ticket AA and MH show the itinerary is ticketed, complete with ticket number and all segments confirmed
