Seven for breakfast plus two dogs this morning!
I love this family staying but don't normally have as many in one go, two more arrived later, a family wedding locally.
I don't normally take dogs but they were stuck, we just have to watch out for Lily or the little Jack Russel would have her!
One of these girls is the Italian Old Masters expert for Sotheby's in New York & writes in two magazines, her father a top Rheumatologist consultant who has very kindly looked at my wrists & doesn't think it's Osteoporisis & has written me a letter for my doctor on his important headed notepaper telling him the tests I should have....that won't go down very well will it? I don't think they like to be told!
Three good things:
1. A glorious day for a wedding!
2. I bought a blackcurrant Renoir for our pudding, we will share it as it's enormous!
3. The dogs are in their cages in the dining room & we haven't heard a peep out of them!
@snowy Well I couldn't see them stuck Diana, I must say I couldn't do it without cages! We lent one of the lads one oif Harrys white shirts too, he forgot his! It's been fun really seeing them all go off dressed up!
@maggiemae so do I maggie, but apparently the quicker you get treatment the better. Must say it's the first hint of rheumatic in our family. Jack thinks it's RSA from computer use!
Now that is a lovely happy family photo. And good to get a second opinion on the wrists too. Let's hope the first doctor takes the second's advice and you find out what the problem is - and a way to heal.
Lots of happy smiling faces. They must enjoy staying with you. I am sure you are the perfect host.
Hope you can get the problem with your wrists sorted.
No, Doctors don't like being told what problems are when they haven't spotted the problem themselves.
Years ago when David was in the RAF he went to the RAF doctor because he wasn't feeling too well and he diagnosed a mild measles virus. (No rash etc. but that was his diagnosis) In the end I called out my civilian doctor and she diagnosed glandular fever and wrote a nasty letter showing the symptoms and told him what tests to do) She was right he did have glandular fever.
How lovely to have familiar and useful guests! I actually think that GP's sometimes appreciate being told. My sister got Lyme's Disease and her GP was very glad to have my rheumatologist colleague tell him the correct antibiotic regimen - somebody else to blame if it fails (which it didn't!) On the other hand I was quite mortified by a rathe rude letter a consultant wrote to our GP when I'd taken one of the kids - mind you they had faffed about for far too long!!
Lovely at every level. So easy to feel at home in your lovely place! I was showing this to Allan and we agreed it was a pity that it was rather a long drive to pop down for a weekend. ....or we would!!!
Hope you can get the problem with your wrists sorted.
