Preparations

Dear all,
It is now less than a week to go - still refining places to visit. Have packed Rog but have not finalized me yet. Have a little bit of sewing to do today. Don't think we will be able to share just one case. It was a nice thought! We have one problem that hopefully won't deteriorate. Roger had a basal cell carcinoma removed from his nose on Friday. (This was unexpected as on Tuesday, he was just having a check up on his leg that was treated in Feb.) Yesterday his eye lid was puffed up like a golf ball. Roger hadn't mentioned this and I hadn't noticed it! I had been on the computer and washing most of the morning. Later we were driving to Camberwell and I enquired about his nose. He said it was fine, not sore but his eye was a bit puffy. I got an amazing shock when I looked. This meant a trip to the doctors on the long weekend. We were so fortunate that Dr White was still at the Clinic as it was about 1.30pm. I had visions of spending the afternoon in casualty. Anyway at the moment Dr White thinks it is just fluids drained from the operation site. Roger is taking antibiotics so hopefully they are working. The eye does not look worse today but will probably go to the doctors tomorrow so the doctor can remove the bandage and
check it out. The stitches come out on Thursday . All being well we leave on Friday. We did not need this! Fun and games!
Hope to keep you posted
All the best
Jo and Rog
