Neurologist says we may never know which it was but is treating me as if it were a mini-stroke (statins, blood-pressure-lowering drugs, aspirin) just in case. Carotid arteries, neurological tests etc all normal. Thank you again Prayers ascending for all those in need and for order from chaos -------------------- Don't get your knickers in a twist over your advancing age. It achieves nothing and makes you walk funny. Prayer should be our first recourse, not our last resort 'Lord, please give us patience. NOW!'

My contract will now end on 24th June; as we're moving to Fredericton anyway, this isn't so bad, but for my colleagues D., J. and S. it will probably mean either drastically cut hours or redundancy, and for our bosses T. and K. a much harder job doing what they do without our support. * they spent merrily while oil prices were high, and when they plummeted, they suddenly discovered they weren't as rich as they'd thought, and are wielding the hatchet everywhere. -------------------- I may not be on an island any more, but I'm still an islander. alto n a soprano who can read music Posts: 20272 | From: Fredericton, NB, on a rather larger piece of rock | Registered: Sep 2006  |  IP: Logged Welease Woderwick Sister Incubus Nightmare # 10424 Posted                     Holding us all in the living, loving Light. -------------------- I give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.
