Peter's operation has to be rescheduled

Peter went back to his family doctor today for a follow-up consultation. Although the worst of the flu is over, the decision was made that he is not well enough to undergo surgery at this moment. He has a persistent cough and his chest is still very congested... or as Peter says he has 'the dreaded lurgie'! The surgeon has said that the operation must be postponed, and she estimates that it may only be rescheduled in about two weeks or thereabouts. The date will only be decided once he has been given a 'clean bill of health' by his GP. Only then will we know the exact date when the operation will be done. This decision was made at 2.30pm today and Lydia was already on her way to Cape Town... Anyway, her visit is sure to be a good tonic for Peter and Jeanette and loads of laughter and reminiscing on the good old days will be the order of the day.
