Month: November 2002

This is Christina, this time. Bernadette requested an update, so I thought I would post one for everyone. Mom’s fine, she came home at 1:00pm today, English time. (They called me with the news.) She now has developped Shingles, apparently, so the doctor will be making a house call on Monday, I believe. She’s pretty…

It was strange to read about my mom’s illness in her weblog. I was glad to have such a tool, however, otherwise I might not have heard about it until after she’d had the operation! (I’m hard to reach on Monday-Tuesday). As it was, I didn’t hear about it until at least 12 hours after…

Dave again here with an update on Trish. She had her appendix taken out yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, about 12 noon. By late afternoon she was back in the ward, in reasonable shape and happy to have her hands on a morphine self adiministration device (happy being the operative word). Very tired and sore, but coming…

This is Dave making an update for Trish – who is in hospital. She is awaiting surgery at this point for a suspected appendicitis (I know – even the doctors find it hard to believe at her age). We went to a pot luck on Sunday, and thought this was food poisoning when it came…

Saw the Lord of the Rings exhibit on Sunday. It was fabulous… though it could have been better. If they’d put the exhibit on for a couple of months, to allow for more viewers, had guided tours and limited groups, it would have been better. Then they could have explained all the props, maybe described…

Sweden is now turning cold, and having been here since Monday all I have seen is light snow, grey skies and VERY early darkness (3:30 pm), though the snow is not sticking so it’s not even pretty at this point. And to think, last week I was in Taiwan and 25ºC weather, with a quick…

Okay, Okay, so I got it wrong! There are a lot of choices in the supermarket, I think it is because I cannot find what I am used to!!! Still raining!!! Today I went for a walk down a lovely country lane at the back of my house and what a mess someone has made…

Mike took me out on a lovely surprise date on Saturday. We had a nice meal out and then went to see Harry Potter: The Chamber of Secrets. Wow, what a great movie! Daniel Radcliffe did a much better acting job in this one, though there’s still room for improvement. The girl who played Hermiane…

I am rejoicing because Dave got the computer set up at home so now I can go on line anytime I want (taking into account phone costs). We are still trying to unpack although great inroads have now been made: our bedroom is box-free, as is the kitchen and this bedroom (the mini one); also…

I have now included a link at the bottom of each post for everyone to leave comments! So comment away 🙂
