Another week passes with a few variations. The weather has been great, some rain in the fire areas and they seem to have them finally under control. The unfortunate people in the fire areas are still unable to return to their properties until all clear is given. The complete opposite is happening in Queensland with floods and cyclones.
The week actually was very quiet with Jill doing the normal routine of exercise. Early in the week I decided to extend our dividing fence between our neighbours and us for added privacy as well as some garden area. I ordered the Nettascreen fencing and it was delivered on Friday. It is a long time since I have dug holes for fence posts – so I am now supporting a sore back and shoulders (only four posts). They did not have all the material so will have to wait until next week to complete the task
I had visited mum each day as she was not feeling the best and on Thursday she said her asthma was starting and they had put her onto a nebuliser. On Thursday evening I had a call from St Catherine’s Hostel to say they had called an ambulance to take her to hospital as she had got worse. She was in outpatients overnight and finally moved to Wangaratta Private Hospital at 3 pm on Friday. She has been settled into her room but is still pretty low. She is having lots of antibiotics and oxygen and great care.
I am not certain wether there is a coincidence in the following but on Saturday I let Jessie (Mum’s Cat) out and I have not seen her since. Searched the yard, as well as those of the neighbours and still no sight. I will go to the local pound today and see if someone has found her. I am certain Jake is missing her.
Missing – Jessie Our tabby cat – age aproximately 15-16 years . missing from Hogan St vacinity since Saturday 7th
We had a visit from a fellow MSA sufferer on Sunday, Ray Bell, his wife and daughter Sharon. They also have been to China for stem cell treatment. Surprisingly we were in the same room that they had been in at Qingdao and were able to reminisce about our experiences and the various staff that we had both met. It is great to be able to talk to others going through similar experiences.
Well that’s about it for today.
See you next week on the net.
