His Lordship went back to Ashburton this morning, complete with the rubbish bin on the tow bar, and delivered it to the roadside for collection today. Gosh, he has his tasks made easy the Mistress says. She misses him when he leaves, so it must be love. 

She had an appointment with the doctor today, with this Achilles issue. She rests a lot, but her foot/leg has swelled and doesn't look great all

. She now is to see a specialist, and gee this sounds interesting. I wonder if they will chop it off. The crutch is almost stuck to her so minus a foot I am sure they can find another crutch.  

I wonder what happens if a Gnome loses afoot? The Mistress suggests I look this up in my books as she is busy at present folding the washing. 

I hear the Mistress went over to our home today. There was a knock on the door and a neighbor said another neighbor was on the floor. She very quickly took off. It appears she moved too fast with her walker to answer the door. Now this poor soul had a recent hip replacement and the Mistress said she was calling an ambulance as they know how to correctly lift without injuring her more and the helpers don't give themselves an injury. No pain or blood and she was bright and chirpy, so the ambos didn't take her to the hospital.

The Mistress and her neighbors are always looking out for each other as they are all of the age where anything is possible. The Mistress has experience in working with patients in the community before she retired. Now the neighbor feels embarrassed, but this is a normal feeling to have. I have heard her say she misses working with the patients and watching their progress. 

She will soon have his Lordship as a patient as he is going in for knee surgery before Christmas. Now I wonder what he will be like as a patient. From what I know he will be if good hands.
