The bad news continues.
At 6am yesterday two ambulances turn up, blue lights flashing. They stop outside Dave & Fran's, a couple of houses down the road. Dave hasn't been so well for a while. We didn't stop to watch what happened. Indeed I slept peacefully through the whole incident, only the Fox saw it happen. When we went out in the afternoon, we looked at the windows. Blinds were closed. Another death? We certainly haven't seen much movement since. We're just hoping all is well.
Meanwhile I ring my cousins today. My cousin Ann has apparently been in hospital this week. Just for tests. She's passing a lot of blood. It's feared she has cancer on her kidneys. We now anxiously await the results. Hopefully if it is cancer, it is still at an early stage. If that is the case she can have the one infected kidney removed, taking the tumour with it, & live healthily for many a year yet. Again we pray for the best.
As for my cousin Trudy, she's had the cataract removed from one eye. She can't say it's an instant success, but at least she's home & feeling fine. She's having a lot of eye drops at the moment which is causing her to cry a lot. She finds the sensation of tears permanently rolling down her cheeks a bit off-putting, but worth it if she can see clearer & read again when things have had chance to heal up. Assuming all is well, she will probably have the other eye done in the new year.
There just doesn't seem any way of getting away from bad news at the moment.
