Perry will have plastic surgery under full anasthesia at 1.30pm tomorrow. We feel confident that this time the basal cell carcinoma in the skin on his right forearm will have been removed completely after three previous attempts.
Skin cancer here is higher than anywhere else in the world....basically because most of us are for the most part fair skinned and felt that a suntan looked pretty cool when we were younger. I still like the look of suntanned skin, but am more carefull and use sunblock for a good portion of the time I am out in the sun....even so I am very tanned due to the fact that I am outdoors such a lot now that I am lawn bowling.
This morning Perry and I went to a two hour coaching session at another club and I got heaps and heaps out of it....so much so that the game I played in the afternoon resulted in our team won....34 points to 6! I felt soooooo confident it was FANTASTIC. To watch the bowl follow a predicted path was soooooooo GOOD !!!!
Spoke with Perry's brother Jack earlier this week and as we haven't heard from him or anyone else regarding Margaret's condition leads us to feel she is if nothing elso...holding her own. Jack sounded absolutely whipped. He has been spending most of the day with her at the Hospital for weeks. Love them to bits and pray that Margaret will become stronger every day.
My sister Barbara sent us a picture of her and Ray's new kitchen at the holiday house in Mt Martha via mobile (cell) phone. It looks lovely....makes Barbie want to spend more time there now. She and Ray have their main digs in town (Sth Yarra) as they both still feel they don't want to spend all their time at Mt Martha just yet. I couldn't live comfortably in their uptown address as I am a total holiday mode person now! Retirement is fantastic....don't know how I managed time to go to work!
I haven't figured out how to forward the kitchen picture to my email address yet.....will take a closer look at how to do it next week. Our phone has all the bells and whistles.....trouble is messing around with it gets tedius after awhile.
Phil sounded good on the phone earlier tonight. He has had his house appraised, but won't know the result until tomorrow. I think he will be pleasantly surprised at the increase in value after five years....actually almost six years. Don't know what he has in mind exactly, but suspect he wants to consolidate debt and now that Sherrene is working almost full time...making larger repayments. That's another thing I don't miss. MORTGAGE PAYMENTS.
I have tried to get into another book that I borrowed from the social club library.....a no go.
The Eleventh Commandment was really good. Have to look through some of my old books to find something to read while I wait for Perry's procedure tomorrow. I have to drive home, therefore must stay at the hopital for about 4 or 5 hours. I think I will re read one of Bill Bryson's books.
