But there are three good reasons why that won't be happening.  1.  The doctor said not before Saturday - and today is only Friday.  2. We have had a night of incredibly violent thunderstorms and the whole area is under flood, again.  So I doubt if I will be able to get to the hospital at the moment.  3. I thought I would leave her there for a couple of weeks anyway, to teach her who is boss around here ! Oh the power !    I might ring her in a few hours and negotiate some concessions in return for persuading the doctor to release her early on parole !  If only I could solve the cooking problem - and all my hot Minti chicks live too far away to come to my rescue. I'll go and have a nice glass of wine and watch the rain pour down and see if a solution presents itself !    The knees are in charge !
