Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Tuesday. I've had a whole hour and a half sleep. So if I disappear that's why, I've nodded off!

The rain is persisting down! It looks like it's here to stay too, so it's wet weather gear when I go out.

I may have mentioned yesterday, or not, that my left foot and ankle have swollen, I spent a lot of yesterday commuting between the surgery in Cam and the Vale hospital, a new modern hospital in Dursley. About two miles. In the end a blood test was taken at the surgery, result on Thursday afternoon. The tootsie is certainly making it's presence known In the mean time I'm hobbling about like Chester!

Foot up, painkillers of choice and relax

[waterboatman]

G'day mate. That would be nice, well, it will be exactly that when I've done the necessary hobbling about. It'll be good to find out what it is. I know what I hope it isn't!

All well down there mate?

[1ozzy]

Can't complain, not allowed ;-/

Any hints from the medical experts as to what?

[waterboatman]

Waiting for the result of the blood test on Thursday afternoon. Won't know anything before that.

[1ozzy]

Oh well, twiddle the thumbs until.
Fingers crossed for you.

[waterboatman]

Thanks mate. It's eased a bit since I've been moving about a bit.

[waterboatman]

I've got loads of stuff recorded on he idiot box, plenty of books etc. I'm not going to move more than I have to!

[1ozzy]

If I lived around the corner I'd bring my trolley and help you move about.

Hee hee, just had a fleeting image of Hannibal Lecter :-))

[waterboatman]

Well done with the beastie bites.

Condolences to OH. Cancer is evil.

[murraymints]

[murraymints]

a friend in Ballarat says it's very wet and chilly there Oz !

[waterboatman]

Thanks minty. No, it's not gout. I know that one! I don't know what it is. I'm hoping the blood test will throw some light on it.

[murraymints]

[waterboatman]

Now that's a thought! :o}
