01 January 2008. It's GRANDPA B again.

Firstly a Happy New Year to all who read this. Secondly it's not a good start for the Monk household. You may have guessed that Grandma is not at all well because Grandpa B is tapping this out. We got up this morning, washed and dressed and changed a bag, this activity wore Grandma out. She had an egg and a drink at breakfast but not much at all for lunch. Grandpa was in Ye Olde Rocking Horse today and it was quite busy. People spending their left over Christmas money perhaps. Grandpa got home at about 4.30 and started to prepare some food for dinner. Haddock in a lovely sauce with nice small boiled potatoes and broccoli. It wasn't long before Grandma took to her bed and was promptly sick shortly after. Luckily a bowl was handy. Jo came to see Grandma this morning for a while, thank you Jo.
Tomorrow we have to go to the East Surrey hospital for blood tests and will wait for the results, this will take a couple of hours or so. The results of which will hopefully determine what the next step will be, there is a possibility that she may have to stay in again. Ah well we shall see.
Had news today that our nephew Steven suffered a mild heart attack on his return back to Switzerland where he works and lives with his wife Fiona. Best Wishes to you Steve for a speedy recovery. Well until tomorrows exciting instalment of the Monkland chronicles I will say goodnight to you all. Signing out.....GRANDPA B.
