    I'll give you all the good news first. Endoscopy went fine and no problems discovered!!! The discharge forms just says normal normal and normal. :-) They've taken a biopsy just in case, one of the benefits of being "special".

Tried looking everywhere and it's gone. Nowhere to be seen. Now stolen prose destined never to be read by man nor beast.

    Thursday morning and I'm left on my own as T goes back to work after her enforced leave from her work. Well, left on my own with three cats a work in-tray a mile high and a home in-tray at least as big! Just glad it doesn't all have to be done in a day!

    Now as it's the first of the month I need to do a "pinch, punch, first day of the month" will it be the postman or one of the cats? Here, kitty kitty, daddy's…
