Just a brief warning. I sometimes use coarse language while writing these pieces. I do not wish to offend anyone and apologize if I do. Think of it as loud punctuation.

Posting Comments & Followers

On all my blogs I have included a Follower section. Don't be afraid to become a Follower. I DO NOT SEND OUT E-MAILS TO HARASS YOU. It actually helps me see if my blogs are being used. There was a way of putting a counter on your site to record visits but I haven't been able to find a counter.

Please feel free to leave Comments and become a Follower I enjoy the input.

People have asked how to post comments on my blogs. It is quite simple really. You don't have to give any information that you want too. I have prepared an image which shows the basic steps.

Spring Morning Report

The good news is that it stopped raining during the night and right now it's dry. I visited Dr. Pocock on Friday because my BP kept dropping into the really low zone. At one point it was down to 62 over 41. Needless to say I was a bit dizzy and looked like I was moving in slow motion.

We've adjusted my medication again and dropped the Spiro down to a half a dose of 12.5 mg once a day. It is a diuretic and was running my blood down to thin.

I skipped one day of medication and started the half dose yesterday. I still had the same effect but it didn't last as long. That's a good thing.

The Countdown Begins

Good Morning Campers! I just got of the phone with Michelle at Royal Jubilee Hospital.

We have a date for surgery, April 13th at 8am.

No it is not a Friday I checked.




So on Tuesday April 13th, I will have to be at the hospital by 6 am. A special package of instructions will be sent within a week, and a new blood thinner will be called into the pharmacy.

I also found out that I will not be in the hospital for more than one night. This is good news, originally I was told 5 days, with a month of recovery. Perhaps this too will change and I will be able to dig holes in the garden sooner than I thought.

That's it for now, I will post updates as we get closer to the procedure. It's been a long wait and now at least we can get back to (so called) normal.

This Just In !

This actually is not just in, it came in on Friday. While I was depositing Merete at the ferry so she could celebrate Finn's 80th. birthday, the implant people left a message.

Monday I will find out when my Surgery will be. Big sigh of relief, as you all know I'm not great at waiting. Now I can stop wringing my hands over the waiting and start fretting over the surgery.

I joke, don't get your panties in a knot. I will let you all know the date tomorrow.

Happy Birthday to Finn Hemmingsen, John Dean and on Monday Brother Jim (Two Dogs) Grey-Noble.
