Thank you both for your kindness. I am sorry to take so long to reply.
Tuesday and Wednesday spent at Southern General, should have been Monday and Tuesday, but as I unlocked the door to go there on Monday, the text came through to say no sailings. Tuesday they started late and on Wednesday the first ferry broke down. Got to SGH eventually, then dislodged my cannula, so had to have yet another needle stuck into me. All in all a great week.
On Monday, I should also have had a conductivity test, where they stick pins in you and apply electricity - a perfect gift for your masochist friend. Anyway, that will have to wait. I think I can just about manage that.
Back to normal today. Much loafing about and crossword doing.
Thanks again.
Best wishes
