Where was I? Oh yes. You will be pleased to know that I now have a dictionary by my side, as even I recognised some of the spelling wasn’t right. I had the op Tues a.m. Turned out to be a burst appendix which was situated a little higher than normal, hence the confusing symptoms.…

I cannot beleive it!!! What do you say? I was carrying on merrily and suddenly WHAM! For those of you who do not know, I was taken ill with an appendicitis on Sun, 24th Nov. I thought at the time it was food poisoning and it was only when I was still feeling very ill…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Finally, got to use a computer! I am still using the library facilities and the library in the village has 1 computer and I am allowed 1/2 hr. So hope to get this done in that time. Our furniture arrived last Tues. Ever since then I have been surrounded by boxes. The movers unpacked our…

The furniture arrived this week, on Tuesday. By Tuesday evening the house was full, and I do mean FULL, of boxes. There was one room with enough floor space for the 2 of us to stand up in, and all the rest of the rooms were full / piled high. We are now in the…

Back in the UK now, and the 2 of us are together and camping out in our new house (courtesy of John and Kath who have loaned us a double air mattress – matching pair to our own so we are maintaining out own space, even on the floor!) I shall be here for 2…
