Last week of work
Well I have one more week of work left before I stop work and rest or nest or somethingarather. I was going to keep working past next week as I was feeling so well that it didn't seem like stopping work was necessary, however I have decided I will stop after all. I still feel well, but I did have a little overnight stay in hospital last week to observe my blood pressure which was perfect in hospital, but had played up at the obstetricians a little... Anyway when I was back at work on friday, I got the impression that some people thought I should be at home resting given the recent hospital visit. I am following my obstetricians instructions and monitoring my BP twice a day and checking my urine for protein daily, and it has really been fine. However the hospital trip did motivate me to start washing all those baby clothes just in case!

I am re-reading "The Curly Pyjama Letters" by Michael Leunig. The first "entry" seems very appropriate.
Dear Mr. Curly,
I have not written to you for quite some time, I suppose because there has been very little to report. My journey appears to have developed into a process of steady plodding which I rather like. When you plod, everything seems to take forever and forever is a lovely thing once you stop being scared of it.
Strange, how something that takes a lot of time can give a feeling that there is a lot of time - and a lot of space and a good measure of ease. So onward I plod, through beautiful things and terrible things, too numerous to mention, with my duck ahead of me and my gargling angel to protect me from above. I am well and I hope you are too.
Best Wishes; yours truly,
Vasco Pyjama
PS Is it "gargling" angel or "guardian" angel? Somebody once suggested it should be "guardian" but I grew up believing it was "gargling" - "My gargling angel" and that's how I think of it. Oh well, whatever; it seems to care for me!
