To operate or not to operate

………well there was no question really.  James went for his cardio version operation appointment this morning but did not have the procedure as the heart has returned to normal sinus mode on it’s own (again!).  In fact it has been normal for the last few days (we dared not tempt fate by saying anything) and, although it was confirmed at the pre. op. stage they still wanted him to go for the operation in case it reverted back in the meantime.  The prognosis is very good though as the medication to maintain “normal service” seems to be working.  So fingers crossed and a big thanks once again for all the good wishes received from so many people – it seems to have worked.

We’ve got eldest daughter Vicki staying with us for a few days together with Ernie her dog.  We took Ernie and Oscar down to the beach for a dip yesterday as the weather was really good.

He managed to get his belly wet but it was a bit of a struggle  to get back up the beach!

    As they say in Texas (and probably elsewhere)... If it ain't broke don't fix it. Now get back aboard Chance as soon as you can, break out the champagne and let the cruising and the party begin. Good news.

    That's great news James!

    Can you send some of that sun up here please? Or get back out yourselves as you seem to bring the better weather!

    Hope to see you both soon x
