I am sorry to have been so long in returning your diary but will do so very soon. Dr. Fletcher did use a bit out of it. The description of the eye (cataract) operation.

The book is now finished, except my chapter - Have not been too well and am out of circulation for a short time but nothing basically wrong - just pushing myself too hard!

Hope all goes well with all of you -
