It is hard to believe we have been here in Victoria nearly two weeks. I had my cardio checkup at Geelong Hospital yesterday with the specialist there. My PM check is on 1st September. I happened to mention if they checked Ela PM's and he said "NO" good job I mentioned it as they have made arrangements for the tech to come down to the PM Dept that day.

The sp was really good said my heart was in good cond and gave me some BP tabs with a diuretic in. I had been complaining to my GP about a swollen ankle and leg and that I found it hard to bend etc. Also that in an effort to get to the phone quickly the other night I was left puffed. The sp told me that high BP can make one feel breathless. There is no reason at all for us not to travel as planned and he also said a PM should not make a difference to my lifestyle. How refreshing.

Shows what a close knit bunch we all are.

The place we are looking after is on 10 acres close to the sea. We have this lovely huge dog to care for. He is a cross between a rottweiler and a labrador and he is so loveable. He is an absolute softie. He never grieved for one moment when his owners left. My spaniel tries to boss him around but he just stands there and takes no notice of her. I think she realises he is a bit big!

It was quite nervewracking to go to a strange hospital etc. My husband Brian is my rock. He has a stubborn nature that nothing upsets. I don't know what I would do without him.

Just thought I would log in with this in the hope that it imparts some aspect that helps someone. Take care, pace well sincere wishes to all Billie
