29 years - wow! In some ways it doesn't feel that long and in other ways it feels like always. I can't imagine my life with out Paul, he is my rock.

Today we have church and a church lunch. I am looking forward to spending the time catching up with people. If I have enough energy maybe we will try out the new wheel chair that we have bought from ebay.

Yesterdays dialysis went well. Joy and Matt popped in to see me which was lovely and helped the time to go very quickly. I also managed to teach Paul how to play Chinese Chequers which will be fun in the weeks to come. He has Chloe's competitive streak when we play games so I think I will need to watch out.

I won't be posting tomorrow morning as we leave at 6 to go to Oxford to have the fistula fitted. I will be pleased when that is over. Please pray that it is straightforward and that my vein and artery behave.

The sickness has improved thankfully although my mouth is still very sore. I am looking forward to knowing the plan - as ever!! Then I will be able to get my head around the next few months.

Paul is much better thankfully. We so appreciate everyone's help over the last few weeks. It has been lovely to see you all - THANK YOU.
