Donner und Blitzen

Nature has been putting on quite a show tonight. As the heading implies, lots of thunder & lightning, interspersed with torrential showers of rain. I suppose it really matches my mood at the moment rather well. I've had better days. You see, we have been rather busy lately, but you know about that & don't really need me to tell you.

Today has been the first day at home for a while with no visitors & no trips planned, apart from maybe a trip or two to Waikato Hospital for Herself. She has been having problems with the Micki Button causing pain. It seems that the opening is too close to the outlet to the intestine & the intestine keeps trying to swallow it. (Too much information I know) The bottom line is that it hurts & something has to be done about it. If she want's to carry on using a button, they will have to put a new hole in. My personal view is that it would be a lot kinder to reinsert a fitting like she had. Certainly better than going back to square one with it.

Meantime, we are both busting our asses with the need to get some salt water under us. Although thunder & lightning is very spectacular, particularly at night, it doesn't make for good boating weather.
