What a busy week and it has gone so fast. I don't know how I had time to work before! I can't believe it is already Friday. Yesterday started with an early visit to the hospital. I am going to have my operation on my arm on Monday. It is more complicated this time as the dye they use to show up the blockage is toxic to the kidneys and so the kidneys need protecting. To do this I have to take tablets before and after op and I have to have 6 hours of fluid via a drip during the day of the op. This means I will be in hospital all day. Ho Hum! But hopefully this will open up my fistula and my arm will get smaller. I will be sedated for the op so hopefully it will all pass in a bit of a blur. I have loaded up my kindle with new books so should be fine. I will be glad to get it over and done with. Then I have to go back for blood tests, clinic visits and a check up on Wednesday so more hospital.

I managed to catch up with a friend who was having her second chemo yesterday - it was lovely to chat. Then coffee with another friend and back for a meeting to discuss bible study and then lovely book club last night. It was great to manage so many things in one day - remembering how I could only do one thing last year.

Today coffee with a friend and then ladies who lunch and bible study. It is such a beautiful day with the sunshine sparkling on the frost. Tomorrow Paul and I are meeting Chloe in Winchester. I am looking forward to seeing the cathedral. Hopefully it will be sunny again.
