\u2018fish\u2019.\u00a0 The pre-admission clinic was dissatisfied with some blood results and no further impressed with those from a repeat blood-letting five days later.\u00a0 So, I\u2019ve had the joy of spending more time and money with my GP to investigate anomalies, not to mention swapping turtle stories.\u00a0 Unlike her, I\u2019m unlikely to be stuck with my offspring\u2019s turtle although I did have to mind a snake for a couple of months.\u00a0 Meanwhile, someone else gets to arise early<br \/>\non Tuesday morning instead.\u00a0 Guess my cardio-vascular system is pleased, but can\u2019t say much else is, especially my joints particularly as I\u2019d been fast tracked due to need.\u00a0 I was looking forward to having 24 hours with little else to do but breathe, wriggle my ankles and press the button for on demand analgesia before commencing the boot camp of life with a new\u00a0 prosthesis.\u00a0\u00a0If everything goes\u00a0according to the new plan\u00a0I get to be sleep deprived\u00a0with an early start at the hospital in 4 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I have returned to the \u201csnatch and grab\u201d on the genealogy database.\u00a0 Can\u2019t say I\u2019m making much progress although I\u2019ve only just returned to the problem area after a break of more than a month.\u00a0 The 1841 and 1851 census returns for a great\u00a0 grandfather create more questions than answers.\u00a0 There are kids in the family in 1841 census who can\u2019t be offspring of the marriage he comes from as some were born before the marriage occurred.\u00a0 The woman referred to as \u201cwife\u201d in the 1841 census has a different name although she may be recorded under her second name.\u00a0 We have two like that in current generations and few besides their nearest and dearest would know that they are known by their second names.\u00a0 Perhaps the kids belong to an earlier marriage, seemingly another time honoured family tradition.\u00a0 The wife dies in childbirth or very young and the man remarries.\u00a0\u00a0 I remember looking for birth records for some of the other kids in the 1841 census\u00a0previously and don\u2019t remember finding\u00a0 anything that made sense.\u00a0 I need to re-evaluate what I have, try and make sense of it and start searching again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile I have documents from another branch of the family to scan so I REALLY know what information I have.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tuna That John West Rejects I feel a bit
