[Magdalen] Is the Pub closed?

[Marion Thompson]

I feel almost guilty to be in such good health at 80 – but I’ll take it!  Iwill keep you all in my prayers with the hope that these physical hiccups are but ripples on the surface and will pass.

On the knee replacement topic,  Jim had two Oxford partial knee replacements and they were very good, indeed.  Less intrusive surgery  and less debillitating in the recovery.

(((((Judy))))), that is frightening indeed.  Not knowing a cause adds to
the fears.  I pray the allergist will find a reason for what happened.

Love you,
Ginga
