Roger

Just got of the phone to Dianna. Looks like Roger has been in the wars. Just after Christmas he was feeling unwell, went to the Epworth where doctors determined he needed a pacemaker. A week later, brand new pm installed and calibrated he and Dianna were off to Picnic Point to resume their holiday. They were only there for a few days before the doctor called saying he wasn't happy about Rogers blood tests and wanted to check him over again. It was a good call, he had some (unrealted) internal bleeding. This rectified he was once again home and planning to return to PP, but a sore shoulder had him return to the Epworth Emergency to have it checked out. Another good call. The shoulder was more than sore, he had 'septic shoulder', and had it not been recognised by the brilliant emerg doctor and attended to would have deteriorated to septicemia. Not cool. Well, I gave Rog a call today to his bedside phone at the hospital. He is a little out of it with antibiotics and pain killers, buy managed a joke between nana naps.
Wow, we thought our start to 2009 was bad.
