BRIDGE WORKS
Work is being carried out on local bridges over the next few months. This will cause road closures and diversions for cars and buses. If you would like to know where and when it will be taking place, please send an e-mail to Cllr Teresa Sims and she will let you have the information electronically. Her email address is: I went to see the cardiologist on Tuesday. The racing heart beat needs to be slowed down considerably with the aid of beta blockers and warfarin therapy. Amazing the number of people I have discovered on warfafin in the last few days. One man in his nineties has been on it for over forty years. So maybe I will get the card from the MASSES NEXT WEEKEND
King/Queen after all. Sadly warfarin and the liquid pain killer are not totally compatable and that is a blow as the pain in the collar bone is as bad as ever. I saw the orthopaedic surgeon on Wednesday. Seemingly the scan has shown that the breaks are more complicated than previously thought and are proving a challenge to him. He said that it is a one off!!! Are you surprised? I must wait now while he SERVICES
does some research and decides the best course of action. DISCOVERING GOD’S PLAN FOR YOU!
