Lady Magpie is still about. by ladymagpie

Lady Magpie is still about.

I've just popped in to say that I haven't forgotten all you good friends on 365. Unfortunately I have found out that old age is taking it's toll and I have had a few medical scares recently.

I have been cleaning my glasses often over the last month or so, but a visit to my optician has revealed that I have a cataract which needs an operation.

Next I went out to do a cross-country walk to find a geocache. After about 100 yards I couldn't breath and both my heart and lungs were bursting. I knew I wasn't going to get far and returned to my car. A visit to the doctor and he has booked me into an investigation at the city hospital in a months time and given me an angina spray, he's warned me not to risk any serious exertions. Unfortunately the Aspirin a day he gave me as well made me very ill and I had to stop that immediately, thought I was going to explode which could have been very messy.

So all in all the Magpie has become a stay at home bird like the one on my bird table outside my lounge.
Lovely pic of your namesake. Fingers crossed for your health scares to be little ones.....

Oh dear Heather that's not so good! A bit scary but I'm sure you'l bounce back, your optimism alone will keep you in good form. Just a tweak here & there perhaps! Knew this was yours when I saw the magpie!

Lovely picture. English magpies look totally different to ours here in Oz.

Hope your health problems are fixed real soon.

I've had medical appointments all day today too. Had to see a surgeon in Newcastle this afternoon.
