Aww Fiona, what a time of it you're having - really glad Gari's feeling a bit better though and hope all goes well for your appointment. My neighbour had your problem and went through hell and back, in and out of hospital but nothing was actually done for her. Finally, her husband whisked her off to Belford Hospital in Fort William (after she'd had spells in our local hospital) and demanded that something was done....she had the operation within 24 hours and is now as bright as a button and super healthy! I hope you won't have to take such drastic action, but its worth bearing in mind 
I might need to borrow her husband to shout for me!
Gari seems to be a bit better now, he was delighted with his chicken and rice dinner, although his tummy is still sore when I touch it, but at least he wants to eat now. He's still coughing a fair bit, but hopefully he'll get a better sleep tonight, and me too as I stayed up with him until 5am!
Hopefully, he'll soon be back to normal.
He thanks everyone for their good wishes.
This was him earlier when he wasn't feeling very well at all.
Although, I'm wondering if he's at it to get out of eating that boring renal food!
