FROM DARKENED SKIES A PATCH OF SUNLIGHT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH AND ALIGHTS ON A LOCAL FARM |
When Kelly received the results from Tuesday's double blood tests via email this morning she right away noticed some discrepancies in the numbers. She keeps meticulous medical notes and this has happened before where the Dynalab blood numbers differ from University Hospital blood numbers. So, because this latest bile salts/acid blood work check is so crucial for Kelly's liver transplant committee's decision next Monday, we decided to forego Dynalabs numbers and go straight to London's University Hospital today and have them do the liver blood tests themselves. We know they prefer their own lab to do blood tests as opposed to other area labs. So, all three of us piled into the Subaru at 11:20 and headed for London's University Hospital.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5o0BVF4hCq59fzLr9RV_MxY3Egxx2Irr4LAWHyU_iZ-_dINLe7z_3dkcvlERbVOAqwatYk-AKxjLDP6nmNJD82TOIAeC1U9vCzzQBeKn4ut-TshcYMb-_rypgxdOTmMNiLSduhVIaj6Rnap-7ocD-yEThqvQyMeTIU7EjD8JJSQaSLWKJmnUJng/w640-h200/DSC_9831.JPG) |

It was a nice-looking sun and cloud morning when the day first started out but the clouds soon took over. Despite that, it was still a scenic drive to London. Dropped Kelly off at the hospital's main door at 1:25 p.m. Knowing the hospital appointment wouldn't be too long, Pheebs and I didn't head back out into the countryside north of London. Instead, we slipped over to the Masonville Parking lot only about four or five blocks from the hospital. We weren't there twenty minutes when Kelly called and said she was ready to go. Ten minutes later she was in the car and we headed north out of London. Stopped at Lucan's Tim Hortons for coffee and sandwiches to go and off we skidaddled for home. We will not know the results of Kelly's blood test tomorrow but we might find out next week.

THE BAYFIELD BUNCH HEADS HOME |
In the comment section of Tuesday's post, this question was asked regarding me being a possible donor for Kelly's liver transplant.........."Al: Have you been tested as a possible match"? No, I haven't, and here's why.....First, the cut-off age for donors is 55 years old, and second, we can't have both of us down in a major recovery situation at the same time. One of us has to remain strong to help the other. This second reason is why I might have to cancel my hip surgery if Kelly gets on the transplant list. Right now, everything is hanging on this second decision of the liver transplant committee which might be known sometime after next Monday. Whichever way that decision swings, we will be faced with more decisions at that time.

I stopped at the Bayfield Garage this morning and told them the Jeep is not starting again. They said they would come with a flatbed truck and pick it up. And, that is just what they did about half an hour after I got home.......Update:: The Bayfield Garage phoned late this afternoon saying they found a loose/bad connection at the starter and repaired it. We will pick the Jeep up in the morning and maybe I can find out a little more at that time what the problem has been all along.

AND OFF IT GOES TO THE GARAGE AGAIN |
Al's Music Box:)) Too Late To Turn Back Now by the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose was originally released as a single in 1970. It later went on to gain traction and is ranked as the 34th biggest U.S. hit of 1972.
GROANER'S CORNER:(( An incompetent counterfeiter spent all day making his funny money. At the end of the day, he realizes he spent all his time making $15 bills. He figures that the only way he's going to get anything from this batch of money is to find a place where the people aren't too bright and change his phony money for real cash. He travels to a small town and walks into a small Mom and Pop grocery store. He goes up to the old man behind the counter and asks him, "Do you have change for a $15 bill?" The old man replies, "I sure do...How would you like that? An eight and a seven or two sixes and a three?"------------------------------------
Restaurant bathrooms are really, really dangerous...So many of my first dates have gone to use them and vanished.

There was once a hillbilly who was extremely sad with life because people always made fun of him. He decided to do something about it. He sat back and thought about it. Suddenly he thought - "I have never seen anyone making fun of Italians. So, if I start talking and behaving like them, no one will be able to make out that I am a hillbilly and make fun of me."
He went into isolation for three months and after a lot of practice, he walked confidently into a shop and said, "I am very hungry. Give me some pepperoni and zucchini." Immediately, the man behind the counter said "Are you a hillbilly?" This guy was taken aback and he repeated his request. The man behind the counter said, "Are you a hillbilly or not?" This man was finally very ashamed and amazed at the shop owner's discerning ability and so he admitted to the fact after which he asked, "But how did you know?" The shopkeeper replied, "This is a hardware store!"
