Hey Christian

What's up?

How's ya Mum?

Have a late night?

xT

Well, the bottom line is that they found that she has a slight potassium deficiency... oh, and an irregular heart rhythm.

But about the blood pressure, when she got to the hospital her blood pressure was elevated, but after an hour it returned to 140/80. So I have a theory... she has an adversarial relationship with her doctor so when she goes to him her blood pressure goes up. She says the tablets are having an adverse effect on her and his answer is for her to take more. She goes home, her blood pressure returns to normal, she takes the tablets and her blood pressure drops down low. Low blood pressure is consistent with how she says the tablets make her feel.

I reckon she is being treated for high blood pressure by a pig-headed doctor when she doesn't have high blood pressure at all.

She's going to a new doctor today.

christian

That sounds very plausible indeed.

Is she still in hospital?

Tom

No, she's home. The doctor said she would let her go home as I would stay with her. Mum shook her head surreptitiously as if to say you don't need to do that.

christian

Well, I can't wait to hear all about it.

I'm getting my hairs cut at 5 and will be @ your place after that, probably with a forbidden ciggy in hand no less!

Tom

Do you want me to stay and feed cat this weekend?

Tom

I reckon that would be good, I guess, depending on what Aby is doing.

I don't suppose you want to drive me to the airport in the morning?

christian

I sat next to a guy at lunch who was doing a mighty fine impression of being Alex Demitriadis' younger brother. I just couldn't look at him.

Guess what his name was when he went to leave?

christian

Nick

Tom

What time?

I will if I can.

Tom

I'm at your place now.

Aby still seems to be away.

Tom

10.15am. We'll talk when I get home. No drama, I can drive myself, as I was going to.

Speak to you when I get back from Sydney, Chook!

Tom came over to say good bye, before he went on a date with Darren at Club 80, missing The Great Race. I was going to tape it for him but he said he already was at home. Later, he told me that he’d programmed his TV to the wrong channel.
