I CAN FLY!!

 Saw the GP this afternoon and asked if being on Apixaban would stop me flying, and said I had been planning to go to NZ.  He said nope, you can fly anywhere without any risk of blood clots . . .  What a relief!  Have to finish the course of antibiotics and wait for the blood test results from today to come back and then I will need an ECG.  Got the nurse to take my dressing off and then I came back and soaked the sticky strips off and just have a good plaster on it now.  I cancelled tomorrow's early appt. at the MIU at Llandod.  Had to, as I my car decided it wouldn't start when I nipped up to Co-op this morning for some apples and a cucumber.  I had to call out Green Flag, who checked it and pronounced a dead starter motor, and bump started it and followed me to the garage where I pleaded them to fit it in as I was going to a Fair on Saturday.  Despite dire prognosications of them being flat out and having no room but they would "try",  it was on the ramps when Gabby and I drove past so I hope it will be finished tomorrow.  It is clearly getting to the stage where I need to think about changing it, but since half of the components are now new I will hold fire a little longer. Still waiting for the £7,000 the Tax Office owe me . . . That would buy the replacement.

For some reason we always called this nickie-noses when the kids ere little - she really scrunched mine!!  LOVE her to bits.
