    A real medical day today. First, John's appointment with his surgeon at 10.30. Yesterday's MRI showed a change from the previous one, four weeks ago. That one showed a narrowing just above the fusion done in 2011. The new one shows a bulging disc right below the fusion site putting pressure on the sciatic nerve on the left side. Booked in for surgery, 11th May.

    Then at 12.15 Janette had cataract surgery on her right eye at Wangaratta Private. Out by 2.30 and heading for home. She has a patch over one eye and says one side of her head feels numb. Does that mean she can be called numb-scull? Her surgeon phoned at 4.30 to see how she was. She has an appointment to see him tomorrow morning but he said that if she was confident, she can take the dressing off herself to save driving to Wang through any flood damage.

    We had 20 mm of rain overnight and while we were in Wang there really wasn't any more. The closer to home that we got, the more obvious we had received a substantial amount of rain while we'd been in Wang (50+mm). Water was flowing out of paddocks and across the road. The creek was running a banker. We checked the shed - no water through - phew!

    We can see that there's a lot of water coming over the 'little' falls. We'll check out the big falls tomorrow. We'll also see what damage might have been done to the road and tracks. Hopefully there's water in our new dams.
