Health, Bowling.

I’m beginning to think somebody “up there” has got it in for us. Be it the gods or the fates. Matt is now scheduled for a colonoscopy and has been taken off his blood thinners. The only trouble there is that those are what are stopping him having TIAs (mini strokes) so now I have to worry about his current problem, and the possibility of another problem with more TIAs. Luckily I do seem to be on the mend myself which helps. Because of this concern, I decided to fax the specialist telling him of the problem and my worries, also sending a copy to the cardio specialist who put Matt on his blood thinners. I didn’t get any reaction, but I did receive a phone message that he has been booked to see the specialist next Friday, March 13. That is almost unheard of speed so I am hoping that my faxes did some good.

Thursday afternoon we went bowling as usual and I bowled up a storm. I didn’t get brilliant scores but I did get good ones. Much better than I have been bowling lately. I was pleased although Matt was not bowling so well. One game he was good, but not the other two. Whilst there, I had another cup of Carnation hot chocolate. I could become addicted to that, it is absolutely delicious. I had thought about buying some, but I don’t think I’d better, too much temptation. For years I have been saying I don’t like hot chocolate and now, suddenly, I do.

Friday I will go to the exercise class and see what happens. I don’t have to do everything after all.

This recipe sounds good. I enjoy salmon especially poached so will definitely try this.
