Week 93 (27 Apr – 3 May 2008)

This was a fairly quiet week apart from an afternoon coffee with Steve, the church Youth Worker who came to Uganda with us in 2004. He has lent us a book about changes in the ways people are looking at churches – emerging churches.

On Tuesday we drove to north London and actually had the scans – a mere six weeks after seeing the consultant who regarded them as “urgent”! We anxiously waited for the results for the rest of the week. Our contact at InterHealth phoned on Friday to say that the scans were “inconclusive” but did show up some other possibilities for further investigation with gynaecology or back consultants. I drove back to Finchley to get a copy of the report and scan discs only to find that it would not be possible to see the urology consultant until Tues 13th at the earliest. And of course, next Monday is a Bank Holiday so we can’t follow up other avenues either. More than a bit frustrating.

Richard and Laura arrived on Friday evening and we spent Saturday catching up, stopping them “fighting” going to the park and investigating laptops for Laura. It is always great to see them, however briefly. They are both getting on well though Richard’s job is not the most interesting! Laura has received a grant for an Open University (OU) degree in International Studies and has just received the first pack of materials. She also has a bursary for a new laptop and printer. In addition to her work laptop.
