For all of you waiting for an update from Janice on our trip, I'm afraid there will be a delay - and you'll have to put up with me, Steve. Just as we were starting to reacclimatise from the trip and recover from jet lag, Janice was struck down by what we now know is pneumonia. She had not been well for a few days, but by the end of last week she was very ill. Of course, being a stubborn female she had refused to go to the doctor, but as an equally sensible male, I insisted, and took her on Friday. Then I get a rousting from the doctor for not bringing her in earlier - where's the justice in that ? He thinks it is viral pneumonia, probably contracted on the plane trip home from Hawaii. The cabin was hot and everyone was coughing and sneezing ! He told me to call an ambulance to take her to hospital if her breathing got any worse, but as a result of my magical nursing prowess, that was not neccssary ! She is on very strong anti-biotics and tomorrw she has to have a chest x-ray, as the doc thinks that one lung has collapsed. So we are taking one day at a time and hope that she starts to improve. She sees the doctor again tomorrow. So thank you all for your messages of concern, I will keep you posted over the next few days.
So now I must dash to cook dinner, light the fire, do the washing, clean the house, mow the lawn ......... my god you women have it easy !!
Bye, Steve
