Writing on Friday evening as tomorrow morning will be busy. Tomorrow my girlie flies to Uganda. I am excited and scared for her all muddled up. It is such an exciting opportunity - to work in a christian hospital in a third world country. Wow! I think life will never be the same again for her. She flies tomorrow evening about 9pm. Ben is spending the weekend at my brothers building a wall. It will be very quiet here. Kit has flown to Greece and Joy and Matt are in France. On Wednesday Ben flies to Turkey - everyone is leaving me!!!!

I have had a good week although quiet, enjoying the sunshine and the warmth. I love the feel of the sun on my skin. I haven't had raynaudy fingers or toes all week - that is very rare.

This week is full of hospitals.

Monday - fistulagram (scan of fistula) probably followed by fistulaplasty if there is a narrowing. This involves being sedated while they put a balloon into my fistula and blow it up!

Tuesday - dialysis

Wednesday - no hospital

Thursday - dialysis

Friday - rheumatology appointment with consultant to review the mixed connective tissue disease and discuss whether I need to go back on methotrexate again

And hopefully at some point the results of my bone scan. Ho hum!

I am missing writing the blog and sharing my life with you. I often think ... has happened I must write about that.

Please pray for my uncle this week as he has an operation on a lymph node in his neck and waits to hear if he will have radiotherapy or chemo.

Hope you all have exciting weekend plans with family whenever possible. Treasure your days.
