I am pleased indeed to red that your wife finally got her knee surgery. I had gall bladder surgery--emergency. Waited 1.5 hours in ER, had a CT scan to diagnose the issue, was given a room on my own, had surgery by 10:30 am that morning, and was home two days later. The bill? None as I am considered indigent financially. The State picked up the bill for me. <br /><br />Oakie I am waiting for your email!! xxx<br /><br />Jim you area brave British soul to go about without Satnav!!

I suffered through five agonizing weeks with Shingles through the first of September. Then I had a Crohn's flare up and on Sept. 7/8th I had emergency gall bladder surgery, and a separate surgery the next day to remove gall stones from my bile duct. <br /><br />Jaq xxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-18082414552297611422019-08-22T19:36:49.009+00:002019-08-22T19:36:49.009+00:00I've managed for years without a SatNav, but I...I've managed for years without a SatNav, but I'm with you all the way on the dogs😀Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14502754753792780008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-81643276487370150812019-08-07T17:06:28.464+00:002019-08-07T17:06:28.464+00:00Hi Jaq,

Most of the time we Brits just can't see beyond the ends of our noses and being mostly a stoical lot we just accept it all and get on with our own personal lives. I only came upon your post by chance (not nb Chance) reading the list of blogs on the nb Seyella site. I will write as promised, although things go on here much the same - cruising in the summer (joy) and hibernation (misery) in the winter. Hope you are well and still reading my blog.

That's possibly the answer to the funding problem, that and the 'too many chiefs and not enough indians' syndrome. We get there eventually, my wife waited nearly 2 years for a new hip, I need a new knee - how are yours?. <br /><br />ps.

I will be singing that for the rest of the day. It is always interesting to hear another person's view of your nationality. Very brave of you to air your views in print. I wouldn't dare put into print some of my own views of other nationalities. What you have written is a great insight into britishness but I'm pleased you recognise a number of our qualities too.Fun60https://www.blogger.com/profile/08084441984556826917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-41318807137321368852019-07-20T11:26:28.617+00:002019-07-20T11:26:28.617+00:00Hi Nev,

My academic advisor and instructor who also happens to be a well published author once told us she edits each chapter in her books no less than 56 times before handing it over to a publisher. So I am still working on it, and feel I am close to handing it off if I can find a publisher who will take it. <br /><br />Thank you dear friend for always offering caring encouragement and kindness through times bright and dark. Les and I were and are blessed to know ye!<br /><br />Love Jaq xxxMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-62519708691820104052019-07-20T09:14:15.689+00:002019-07-20T09:14:15.689+00:00Another lovely read, beautiful insightful emotiona...Another lovely read, beautiful insightful emotional - when is your book coming out ? <br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Nev Nev Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047359519459723079noreply@blogger.com
