Nothing is ever straightforward!

Since the last blog Roger has had some difficulties. There seemed to be a "stoppage" in the system, which stopped him performing bowel action. Then on Sunday evening he was violently sick. Perversely, that seemed to kick off the bowel action (albeit slowly), although it could've been coincidental. X-ray showed nothing conclusive, which in a way was good news.

Yesterday I met him on my way up (he was on his way down) to have ultra sound. It seems there's an area on his left side that is swollen & sore. Verdict: two pockets of fluid (they couldn't tell exactly what from ultra sound) but will probably aspirate them soon. Might even have done it by the time I see him this afternoon.

As for me, a 16hr. power failure on Sunday and lack of sleep due to the electricity guys digging a massive hole in the road adjacent to our flat, pneumatic drills & the like, all night, has not helped to lighten my load! Sorry! couldn't even blog............no internet! DISASTER!
