Well Happy Ho Ho's Everyone

Well, another year is grinding its inexorable way to a shuddering heaving close. Its been a difficult one to say the least of it, but at least we have closure on one issue. We now know what is wrong with Herself. We had our day with the Neurologist on Monday & a very nice chap he was too. He actually asked us if we really wanted his verdict just before Xmas. I did stop short of mentioning Bears taking dumps in afforested areas when I said of course we do. The bottom line is that herself has a motor neuron condition called Pseudo Bulbar Palsy. A very fancy way of saying that she has 3 to 4 years left to live.

The only redeeming factors are that it isn't hereditary, & that she isn't going to develop any new symptoms but the ones she already has. Those will kill her of course. Respiratory failure due to a lung infection or pneumonia most likely. Anyway, we are off to her daughters place tomorrow at sparrow fart or earlier in the morning to enjoy a wonderful family Xmas.



This is me playing Santa at our work Xmas do on Saturday. Merry Xmas to you all. Thank you for taking the time to read this stuff for another year. have a good one.
