I'm worn out just planning all the journeys.

All the best Rod for the week ahead with your sister. Ask the crew how to change the cylinder and how to monitor the oxygen machine, the flow rate and if your sister is going have a mask with a nebuliser or delivery of the O2 via nasal tubes.

Also that doctors really needs too explain why he gave a higher dosage.
Something like that I wouldn't let pass I'd be quiet beeped off.
My thoughts are with you mate.

Hey Dave cheers mate, Cant say it's been an enjoyable time of late, been up to see him tonight & he's not shaking as much and I even got a response out of him albeit a grunt when I said It's me Ian.

Me & my Sis went to see his doctor today & he was adamant it was the chemist fault until we showed him the prescription he's written out.

I know it's not intentional but it made dad extremely ill prior to going into hospital.

, It's so muggy here I doubt I'll get much sleep tonight unless I've had a tipple or two.

I've just ordered a maple stratocaster neck for a strat body with ironstone pickups and I've got a set of Japanese tuners in a drawer somewhere too.

Well done on both counts!
