Saturday Night in the Sick Bay

Just thought I'd let all you good folks know that the new pacemaker has

decided to settle into it's new home and that I am generally well pleased with it - not that I am recommending that everyone should be fitted

with one - let alone the two that I have!! They last eight years - but I'll

write again before then! Raj fitted the first and Ram the second. I wonder

what the name of the next surgeon will be! Rasputin, perhaps. There's no

doubt a spell in the sick bay of cardiac ward hightens one's awareness of

what it is to live beyond three scores years and twenty two - and to want a

little more! (Selfish thing aren't I - a word to those of you waiting to inherit!) A young person once said to me "it's not the preogative of the

old to die" Seems she was right.. Thank you Pauline...
