Smiley Face

Last night's Bible study at Jamestown was rather unusual. In our time of sharing, we got the giggles. The strange thing was that everyone was more relaxed as a result, and the actual study time was more interactive.
I had a chat with Dr Bloem this morning :) I found out that St Helena does not have a doctor that interprets the x-rays - they are simply handed to the doctor that asked for them, and he interprets them. And.... it is all in the interpretation.
Dr Bloem fetched the offending x-ray, and could not find whatever it was that made the other doctor think that my lung had collapsed. There was an area (that I was familiar with from many previous x-rays) that showed "a bit of fibrosis" due to many years of infections and asthma - but other than that, we were both happy with the picture of my lungs.
The only suggestion that he made, was that I ease up a bit on the up hill walking, so as not to put additional strain on my heart.
On the way home after work I found ONIONS! We splashed out and had potatoes AND onions in our supper.
I went to the Deadwood Bible study this evening with a lighter heart, and we had a good time of sharing and Bible reading.
