Message Sixty

With time off work today, I rang the student loan company to tell them that they need to reclaim Liz's student loan.  Sheffield Uni had informed them, but the money came anyway. 'Ring again tomorrow' was the message, it's 'Hogmanay here in Scotland'.  The loan company is based in Glasgow.

This morning we met with Liz's consultant.  She agreed that Liz doesn't need to go back to the eye specialist just yet.  The last experience didn't go well with the long wait for an ambulance.  It was agreed that it's really just a waiting game for the eye muscle to quieten down and stop the torsional (circular) motion in her left eye.  Sheffield had a 'look in' today as no one knew what sort of PEG had been fitted.  Liz will have an ultrasound scan to discover how to remove it.

Liz is now using a normal wheelchair and was able to show us some new movement in her left foot.  It's all very encouraging.

Liz's old school friends called round in the evening.   They had prepared a 'secret Santa' together.  They even provided Liz's contribution otherwise it might have been something from the hospital shop.
