An update

Well here I am with an update. Have been lurking around but not feeling like blogging. Phil has had his op for his knee and we thought that it would be a 'quickie' unfortunately when he came too the piece of cartilidge was too big to be sucked up the sucker so they had to cut it open. Just means its a bit more intrusive and a bit longer to heal. But he is well on the way to recovery now. We have had news that Dad has a tumour in his bowel. We've all been a bit weepy. We all thought it was just polyps and when he went into to be checked the came across the tumour, after the visit to the specialist he had a big bleed and collasped at home - luckily Jo was there and rang the ambulance - we thought he had gone - but dad being the fighter he is soon came round once he had some of the juice that the IVs had in them. He needs to have it all removed and has his op on 27 March. We had some good news thou that it isn't in his lymph glands and hasn't traveled. Thanks to God and lots of praying I'm sure. We did have some good news of our own. We entered into the Dairy Industry Awards in the BOP region this year and won a merit award for Dairy NZ Human Resource Management.
