Neti, yes Mr LL reads Russian and talks Russian fluently, although of course it is not up to date Russian and language is always changing. He always loves the opportunity to chat to any Russians. He only spoke Russian and German until the age of 7 when they came to England. He continued to speak Russian with his parents until they were both deceased (MIL died in 1993). So no probs.
Robi - I just phoned the eye clinic and the system has changed, so I have to go through the bloomin doctor again and the wait is 4-6 weeks unless it is urgent. How ill the doctor know if it is urgent or if my retina is tearing. It took complicated eye equipment for them to look at all this at the hospital last time.
Anyway I have a docs appointment next week to discuss my arthritis which is getting worse and worse, discuss my eye, arrange blood tests for blood pressure, talk about my 'hernia' (well I think it's hernia,) and also talk about my IBS!!
Buffer, buffer, buffer!!
Robi, I get a lot of pain like that under my ribs which I put down to IBS, but like you I have often wondered about gall bladder problems, or liver problems.
Perhaps we should both take a trip to the knackers yard!!!
Got a man coming about windows - so best get cracking!!
