Hello Ed, well done for  getting the sample! I hope that it will help the doctors to sort things out! What a journey you are on. HUGS! I managed to do some gardening as well today as the sun was out. Dinner done. My favourite rissoles, mash, mushies, spinach and home grown tomatoes. I haved saved a serving for tomorrow night when I come home from the Oppie as I cannot be bothered cooking after working there.  Now I am ready for bed and a book. Hugs to you and Sandra

Hello ED TY for the White Mouse. I am glad that Hayley and her man came to help out. Have you actually spoken to Sandra's doctor and explained your concerns? It might take an actual appt. rather than a phone call. I guess that few doctors actually make home visits nowadays.  I hope that you are havong a peaceful sleep.

Morning splash-- pygmy mouse ty It is starting off at 16 and nice and sunny. Well as usual things are not simple--the vascular surgeon is not happy with the ultra sound done locally sooff I got to Kitchener and the vascular clinis for an ultra sound(the good thig is they are not invasive but just a nuisense) I also have new dressing and it is going to be done Mon,Wed and Fri so I am tied down again and got back in a month. Now onocology--my doctor is back--she wants a new CT scan so that is schedules for later in Aug. and I found a leision on the side of my nose(mentioned it to other but nothing ever done) so I am waiting for a referal toa doctor to deal with that.I other words I  am going to be busy again.I am glad to hear that Sausage tried to ease things for you even if it didn't work(maybe  if they are really needed  a doctor can order blood tests as they can tell a lot os things from one of those(that is why I do bloodwork before any CT as my kidneys are a little dicey from when I did the immune therapy) I will wish you a good day and good luck with everything

Hello Ed, dinner now done. I was interested in your question re. why does the word 'whipping'  have an 'h' in it. After dinner I looked into my books but could not quickly find the answer. So I googled it because I was curious as well. Google told me that the 'h' in whisper dates back to Old English, circa 450 - 1150 A.D. Related to a distinct breathy sound. Google told me more. Facinating! I can hear it in whisper but not in whisky. And before I go to bed, what about the word 'whole.'?  Mungo really wants to go to bed as I do. HUGS!

Hello Ed, I did have a chuckle at you remembering that I do not like the over use of the word 'very'. Silly pedantic me! Something I should get over! I didn't go to art group today as when I went for my morning coffee it was raining. I drove to the coffee shop around the corner. I decided not to drive to Sorrento in the rain. However I have been productive at home doing laundry and more clearing. I now have 2 bags of children's books to take to the Op shop on Friday. I still do not know what to do with the Doll's House and furniture. It is now in my lounge room near my front door waiting or me to decide! Re. Sandra and the urine test hopefully Tracey will be able to assist??? Hugs

Hello Ed, well done you getting the doctor thing sorted. I guess that one of your daughters has to help Sandra actually do the urine test. Tricky! You certainly do need help looking after Sandra. You have done your best as a loving husband. It is time for your children to step in. Also you may need a family conference so that everyone is on the same page in terms of how to help you and Sandra. That is what we did to help Mum out with Dad and now doing it with respect to Mum's needs. Please ALWAYS feel free to share your problems with me. That's what friends are for! HUGS
