thank God for service stations

Post by Liz »

Feeling a bit iffy today. Slept til four am then deluge started again with quite a bit of pain. Still have belly ache so this flare is not over yet. Think I may need to see about finding another GI doc. It will not be easy to replace my former doc who has treated me for nearly 30 years. Can not understand why he would prefer going sailing to mucking around with people's bowels. :lol: :lol: :lol: Am seeing my surgeon next Tuesday so see what he says.

Got through the trip up to see Graham yesterday without too much trouble (thank God for service stations on the highway) Did not need to resort to 'thunderboxes' in rest areas either. Image
So glad we went & will have to go again soon. He was so happy to see us & his wife Jos said he was quite excited yesterday morning that Robert was coming. He is in some pain still although he does not want to let on. Has a very positive outlook but is very frustrated with his limitations. He is finding it very hard, having been a very active man to just sit & contemplate his navel.

Love

Liz

Liz,
Still hoping for a resolution of this flare you are in.

That potty with the spider makes me feel itchy :shock:

Just the thought of "bugs" makes me itch. All mental I know.

Hoping you will be feeling better real soon.

Hi Shirley

I think he is cute. There is an old song called 'The Reback On The Toilet Seat' that was very popular here in Aussie Land. Lots of the old 'Thunderboxes' had them & you had to check under the seat before you sat down. :shock: :shock:

Love

Liz

M,
Can't say for absolute sure.........but I think it's probably what we would call an outhouse.

Am I right, Liz??
