Week 187-8 ” The greatest DVD”

The weather certainly continues to be hot. Looks like being another 38C degrees today. I will be glad when the tennis and the Australian Open have finished and we can have some early nights to bed. In between watching the tennis and cricket and ones house duties there is not much time. Pat and Keith visited on Saturday morning for a cappuccino and brought us some eggs. Pat’s back at school with kids starting on Monday. Allison will also be back with her kinder kids this week; I guess she will be pretty tired.

I have been trying to organise the painter, cabinet maker and the rear ramp to be completed while Jill is in hospital having her knee replaced. I’m not quiet sure what is the most expensive, knee surgery, painting or having kitchen cabinets replaced.

Jill has had a couple of visits to doctors this week, On Tuesday the visit to the urologist and on Friday to the Anaesthetist regarding Jill’s knees and he is going to discuss the operation with the orthopaedic surgeon and neurologist as the chance of complications from the MSA worries them. We had been booked into the Wangaratta Private Hospital but he suggested that he may prefer the Wangaratta Base Hospital (Northeast Health) as they have better intensive care for after the operation. So I guess we have to wait on that discussion to find where Jill will have her operation. As a prelude to the operation she had an ECG and blood work done so we hope there is no anomalies that show up. She has to take her CPAP machine into hospital with her so that it can help with her breathing in recovery. I mentioned the new mask; it amazes me how the new mask works so well in comparison to the old one. On Wednesday morning Jill woke with two marks on her right knee (good one) and it appears to be bites, itchy and have now developed little blisters, although I could not see puncture marks. Lorna came over with her grand kids for a swim and she thought they were bites. We have been putting Stingoes on them to relieve the itch. Earlier in the week I had killed a fairly large spider amongst the bed linen while making the bed so I guessed it there was one there would be others, but I inspect the sheets each night to make sure we are all clear.

We received a fantastic DVD last week and watched it in amazement. It was the ultra sound of our first grand child. Jill’s certain it is a boy???. We have watched it on the large TV screen which has the ability to pause and magnify, it didn’t help at all – we are willing to wait to be surprised. Nicole is certain IT has the Gristede NOSE. It’s amazing how babies just look like babies to me and have their own look. That may change when IT arrives and I look for a Keenan or a Sutton or even other family tree members.

I am sitting in the kitchen, listening to Macca and the sound of Sam mowing his lawn and think it’s time to get Jill up and showered.

See you next on the net
