Doctors’ day again today - both had appointments in Wangaratta. I had a post-op. check on my right eye and the surgeon kept muttering “excellent, excellent” so it really did go very well. He asked if I wanted to go ahead with the left eye - ‘Yes please!’ It may be June as they can only do one-quarter of their normal ops.

This timing will fit nicely, we hope, with John’s recuperation from the back op. John visited the anaesthetist for the pre op checks and also had pathology tests done. He tried to organise a stress test to make sure John's heart will be OK under the general anaesthetic. Couldn't be organised for before the op so he said, “we'll do the op, and when you've recovered, we'll do the stress test.” ????

Whilst in town we ordered some more ‘autumn colour’ trees and picked up a new electric bbq for the cottage as the old gas version finally died. We hope the electric version will be less bother as we don’t have to worry about whether the gas bottle has enough gas for the visitors. Also picked up extra take-away food containers for the beef - they stack really well in the freezer.

On the way home did a food drop and had a cuppa at distance with Kathy and Peter. They have had a blocked drain and the plumbers have taken out a lovely Chinese Elm tree (the culprit no doubt) and dug up the front making a big, sort of organized, mess. Kathy made John’s favourite lemon and ginger muffins and he got to take some home so he is a happy chappy!

Home to make some biscuits and cake for morning tea tomorrow - for the preg. testing team.Read more
