Those days of walking around with a gimp are in the past. I'm feeling great and I just need to slowly build up my strength and endurance. After the first few days of putting the garden back together I was a little sore, but it felt great.
Thanks for your generosity. I know that you said that it was not necessary to thank you, but I just don't feel right when I don't recognize kindness.
I hope all is well with you and Marion.
Robin did tell me that you were going to have a medical procedure soon, I pray that it all goes as planned!
Thank you Bob, I had the first series of tests done today for my critical low level of iron problem, and they took three biopsies from my stomach. Now we will wait for the doctors, but the doctor has already booked me back here in the hospital on the 18th of May.
Well, look at it this way, at least you are up and about again, and it is only natural that you will feel some pain, especially when you overdo things. We sound very similar, as I did the same when my leg came out of plaster after 2 years, and I was so glad that I almost had to go back into plaster again, because of my over eager movements.
You guys are just as, if not more, generous, and I think that we have the same hearts, or like some say, we are cut from the same stone !LOL
!PIZZA and !LUV to your lady.

At our age, there's always something going on. I hope they figure out what the deal is with your iron problems. I would imagine that your iron levels being so low has zapped some of your energy.
On a different note, yesterday I sent Marian an e-mail concerning the donations. I've included the two receipts that we received from PayPal. Hopefully, you guys received the mail. If these transactions didn't show up on your end just let me know and I'll get in touch with PayPal and try to find out where the funds went.
Stay in touch my friend.
Greetings Bob, and you can say that again !LOLZ]
We were away for the last 2 days as I was booked into another government hospital, as they are the only ones that do a capsule endoscopy. Basically, a capsule with a built-in camera that one swallows and as it passes through the digestive system, it sends photos to a PC.
But that didn't happen, as the doctor decided that I had to go through the entire procedure again!
So they did a gastroscopy again and they cut 3 biopsies from inside my stomach. Back home now and my next appointment for a colonoscopy is on the 18th of May for 2 days again.
Thank you for the mail and I ask Marian to have a look at our PayPal account now. If it's still not in, she will let you know via the mail reply. Thank you for your kind support and I am worried that you guys will lose the funds.
!PIZZA and !LUV
Holy cow, what will they think of next, a camera that you swallow, I've never heard of that before, but it sounds like that was canceled and you have to redo everything that you already had done, what a bummer.
You would think that they would have gotten it right the first time around. Hang in there my friend us old-timers are tougher than most.
I'm more worried about your well-being than I am about the money.
Good luck with it all!
They call it an "endoscopy" and the camera is built into a capsule. The method is that they plaster receivers on the stomach and a main receiver in a belt that one has to put on. Then the capsule is swallowed and as it travels through the entire digestive system, sending a gazillion photos to the receivers and the main receiver on the belt transfers the photos to a large medical PC linked to a computer. The computer then analysis the photos and it shows up all of the bad spots in the digestive system.
The reason that the previous gastronomy and the colonoscopy was not accepted, is that the new doctor found wrongs that were not corrected by the previous doctor. Some blood spots were not cauterized even though it cost us a fortune as it was a private practice.
Our GP in desperation arranged for me to get an appointment in a government hospital that costs a fraction of the previous charges. Problem is that the old hospital is dilapidated, and one has to wait in queues for half a day. But the saving grace is that the new doctor is one of the best.
So now the gastronomy was done, and I am booked to return on the 18th of May for the repeat of the colonoscopy. They were also able to look inside the start of my inner intestine and some blood lesions also showed up.
According to the doctor, I might not need the camera pill episode, as he thinks that once all of the blood lesions are cauterized, my inner bleeding problem might be solved. If not, the camera system will be used.
Sorry about the long reply, but I wanted to bring you up to date. Living with a critically low iron level is not easy, but as you say, we old timers can beat the odds better than most.
Amazing how the Spirit works as your donations has arrived to meet the needs of many people.
Thank you once again and the Lord will continue to take care of my health. Just as He has done for you.
Blessings and thank you for the care. Please share our confirmation of the receipt with our Lady Robin.
!PIZZA !LOLZ and !LUV to both of you.

The doctor is the best, that is really all that matters even though waiting around in the hospital can't be any fun. Let's hope that dealing with the blood lesions will do the trick, you have too much to do to be lying around and not feeling well.
That's great news about the arrival of the donations, now we can put that matter to rest and our continued support of your hard work is the least we can do.
I will let Robin know, she tends to be a worry wort even when I ensure her that we will work this out.
Thanks for everything my friend, especially your friendship!
Thank you kindly for the positive message my friend, as it boosts my hope.
Yeah, great news indeed especially now we know who the kind stranger is. I now also know your surname and it was a pleasant surprise to see who our benevolent sponsors are 😊 !LOLZ
Marian is also a worry wort, as she is almost OCD in keeping our record clean. Now she wants to know if you guys received her thank you letters, or if she should send them all again ???
We also appreciate your friendship, as it is not about the funds, but rather our similar hearts.
Take care and please don't try to jump around too much youngster.

The address was not correct. I resent the e-mail and hopefully, I got it right this time.
Oh! Marian has just discovered your real name and yes, we have indeed received it. Also, all of the previous gifts from 2021.
She sent you some thank you mails every year and also a certificate on the 29th of January. Did you receive it?
Now this mystery donor has been revealed and we are so happy that it is you guys !LOLZ
