Reprieve

After another excellent family evening, Graeme gave us a lift to the Royal Derby hospital this morning.

Here we saw the registrar, who told us that since my pressures are stable though still quite high and that both visual fields and the state of the nerves at the back of my eye are good, an operation is no longer seen as an immediate necessity. This is welcome news, of course, it's just a shame that we cancelled our commitment to work with Braidbar at Crick.

Oh well, it can't be helped. We've got commitments around here for the next week now, and plan to get some boating in starting the week after next.

I'm a bit zonked, what with one thing and another, so won't say any more now. Tomorrow will be a bit of a recovery day and I'll be able to do a better blog, hopefully.

Mind you, there's the quiz tonight with a scratch team of Napiers and Birks, Dolce Far Niente having set off cruising for the summer.
