More doctors, more opinions and no real answers; that is today's synopsis. The haematologist in Sudbury, a nice guy and straight shooter, did another bone marrow biopsy (why do they have to take the sample from right under the belt line) and has ordered some special blood tests, so the investigative process continues. We will be back to Sudbury, in a week or so, to see the haematologist again and will also see a cardiologist at that time. We are still going to Orillia this coming Monday to see a new nephrologist; it's no wonder there's a shortage of doctors in this country, I'm using them all.

We had a great visit and dinner last evening in Sudbury with my dear friend Crystal and her partner Richard. Barb now fully understands why I have always said how special a person Crystal is.

This is going to be a very busy weekend. The kids, grand kids and grand dogs are all arriving this evening. I'm sure there will be a few rubbers of bridge played before the weekend is over. Michael (13) is quite a bridge fanatic and Christopher, age 10, isn't far behind. Even Grandpa may find enough energy for a few hands. This will be the first time since New Years day that we have all been together.

Bye for now.
