There Were 10 Red Tulips.........

.........standing on the wall in the garden - now there are just 6 remaining but they are such a beautiful dark red, I thought you might like to see two of them!

My visit to the Eye Clinic at Lincoln went fairly well and the Consultant has signed me off and also said there had been a miniscule improvement! - all good so far! (I looked as if I had Jaundice afterwards as they used orange coloured eyedrops to dilate the pupils)

The next thing is to have a Heart Monitor fitted - that's on Friday this week.

Then on Tuesday the 13th May, I have to have a Echocardiogram - they may inject a dye so am wondering what colour I shall be when I come home!!!

I'm hoping that will be the end of all the tests and Hospital visits for a while!
