delayed news

Due to some technical issues at home I have not been able to let you all know about the latest bit of news.  during my last GP appointment I was informed that I have a 2.5cm gallstone; which has been the likely cause of much of my discomfort.  This is very much a relief and it was nice talking to the GP about something else for a change.  The gallstone was noticed on the review of the ultra-sound I had done a few weeks back,  so I am waiting for a time to see the general surgeon and have the discussion around what to do; meanwhile I am continuing to prepare for the marathon in Boston and doing my best to stay healthy and strong.
