We were out a very long time for the 3rd hospital intravenous appointment, but it went well and the greatest pleasure is not having so much arm tingling. Could be a result of having a heat rap all the time it was going in or simple the really hot weather we have had.

Well, 6 days of doing a bit and sleeping a lot that suddenly gave way to a much more lively day on the 7th. Day 8 I had to pace myself but was delighted to get back to half an evening of singing with Cascade, our Barbershop group: the first time since my op in April!
