Week 95 (11 - 17 May 2008)
Our weekend at sunny Ashburnham Place ended all too soon. The conversations prompted by the talks are were enjoyable and challenging. As part of the morning session those present joined the church leadership in praying specifically for Andrea. For part of the afternoon we sat outside in the sun (or shade) again. We miss the sun and opportunities to spend more time outside! But the temperatures were more comfortable.
On Tuesday evening we visited Mr Bolton, a consultant who treated Andrea 15 years ago. The MRI scan report was not as clear as we had hoped and we have asked for a review. He couldn’t find anything obvious causing the pains but found that Andrea is very tender. He will arrange for a wider range of blood tests and a laparoscopy as soon as possible. We still hadn’t heard anything more by the end of the week – but did eventually get another appointment with the urologist – 8th July! We just need to check the year though.
Andrea’s brother, Ian, visited on Wednesday and we had a walk in one of the local parks, ending with an ice-cream. It’s the little things that keep us going. Just as well we went out as on Thursday the weather turned wet and colder again.
We supported the Christian Aid coffee morning on Saturday and took Andreas knitting efforts to sell along with one of the books we finished reading. We came back with five others though! Not ones we’ve read. Obviously. At least I don’t think we’ve read them but you know how the memory plays up sometimes.
