Day 3 of the training

Because the weather was fine and the rest of the week looks as if it will be chucking it down  I stayed on the boat today to get on with some essential maintenance.  Now that Lou;s OK with operating the new machine, I will join her for thursday and friday, to learn how to set it up and of course know what to do if things go wrong. Our two weeks of training may be shortened because Lou is getting on with the machine so quickly. No sessions over this weekend so have got to decide whether to stay here or return home. Suppose that will depend on the weather as well.

A New Chapter

I'm restarting the blog.  It's two years after the last entry some of the entries that would have been here went into "A Year in Swanage" blog.

Life comes in chapters just like a book. First a new life with Louise, and now another change for us both with daily dialysis using a nxstage portable dialysis machine.  This opens up an exciting era where we can plan for longer trips away on Watanga.  Lou is going to feel so much better all the time.  I hope I can keep up.

We are currently living on Watanga in Port Solent Marina whilst Lou and I train at Portsmouth Hospital.  It not the best time of year for it but it's fairly mild for the time of year.
