My last blog post was 5 weeks ago, just after we'd returned from our holiday. I guess a lot has happened since then but one thing I'm still not any wiser about is when my knee operation is going to be. My pre-med was 5 weeks ago and I'm led to believe that this only lasts for 8 weeks, and given that they need to give me some notice, you would think it would only be a matter of days now. I rush to open the post every day but no luck so far.
Good news however about one other outstanding matter - the complaint made to Aberdeenshire Council by our neighbour. I got a phone call from the planning officer dealing with the case a couple of weeks ago and he was very reassuring that nothing was wrong and today we received confirmation of that in writing.
Jo gave me and Ross a little scare on Saturday morning - she said the bottom of her leg felt like wood and she was initially alarmed that there may be a possibility of a blood clot. Jo phoned 111 and described the symptoms - they advised her to go to ARI's Emergency Dept, so off we went. Nice quiet morning there so Jo was seen pretty quickly and thankfully soon got the all-clear, with the proviso that she should make an appointment with her GP - now done. Jo was due to go there anyway following the recent routine cardiac and COPD review.
As well as our usual annual cardiac reviews we've both caught up with the dentist and I've also had my annual eye check. I received a text advising of my next COVID vaccination - in Scotland, us oldies are still scheduled to get spring and autumn top-ups - but I'm not sure whether I'll take it this time. I've had pretty bad reactions to the last 7 - whether Moderna, Astra Zeneca or Pfizer.
It was Asher's 9th birthday on Sunday - apparently his party was attended by 18 friends!
Gary and Luca are coming over on Easter Sunday. They were here a couple of weeks ago and brought "Skippy" with them. He's a rescue dog that they're temporarily fostering until a full-time home is found for him - and it looks like that's going to be happening very soon. Anyway, here's the handsome lad:
To finish, Gary put one of our holiday photos through an AI process and came out with this:
Jo wondered who I was with!
