LONG TIME - NO WRITE

It seems like ages since I last entered anything in my blog. Things, as most of you know, have been a bit hectic here since Sunday. My son John, and his two stepsons were supposed to be repairing our roof on Sunday. They came, one man short, because one of the lads was 'hung 0ver' thus leaving them shorthanded. My John had to be 'roofers mate' and so he didn't get the time to do the things that he'd said he would. ie de-spider my shed, and fix me with a solar powered shed light. He's promised to return soon and finish the job.

Monday afternoon was spent at the hospital having an assessment and making arrangements for Arthur to have more 'memory tests' I have to let them know when it's convenient, and they will set up a series of weekly tests which, when completed, will be compared to the ones that were done about ten months ago.

Yesterday, Tuesday, was spent getting ready for, and recovering from, a visit to yet another hospital where Arthur suffered yet more invasive examinations. The outcome to that, is that they are admitting him tomorrow morning to do a biopsy, but we will have to wait about ten days before we get any results of their findings. We have to leave the house at 7.45am, so will probably get up about 5.30!



I must tell you all, that Sandie's husband (and our brother-in-law) has been an absolute knight in shining armour for us this week. Not only did he take us to the hospital yesterday, but he has now offered to call for us tomorrow at quarter to eight, take us to the hospital, wait with me while Arthur in in theatre, and then bring us home again. He is doing all this on a day when Sandie and Len are preparing for, and expecting visitors for a nine day stay! They must be so busy, and yet they have time to spare for us. We are so grateful. Thank you both very much, God bless you.XX



I probably won't 'blog' tomorrow, but will let you know the next day how things are going

You are both welcome:0) What are family for if not to gather round and support one another when we can? Chris and Sarah won't be arriving until about 11.30p.m. apparently, then they will settle down for a talk and a glass or two of wine, so it will be a late night tomorrow! Methinks we may have a little power nap in the afternoon on the sofa after such an early start:0)

What a week for you! Don't forget that while sandie has visitors Mo is always on hand, providing she isn't at one of her own hospital appointments. I think they are Thursdays and Fridays.

Oh poor you Leeta, what a busy week. Not to mention the stress the reason of the busy week must be causing you. Poor Arthur must be so worried. I am praying that the results will be good.
