It seems to have been a long wait, waiting for the insurance company to give the okay for Derek’s kidney biopsy.  It finally came through and the biopsy will take place next Tuesday.  First though, this morning at 9 am he has to have his pre-med check up.  It is a very hot day, even though it is only nine in the morning.  Derek is shunted around several departments clutching the new supply of sticky labels, to be given up, one at a time at each examination.  Once again he is screened, scanned and X-Rayed, then off for an ECG followed by the blood drawing – not his favourite bit!  Two hours later and we are on our way out again.  As it is still quite early we decide to drive into Torrevieja and go to the bank.  Luck must be on our side today, as we find a parking spot, in the shade and on our first circuit of the town!  Believe me, if you can find a parking space in Torry at this time of year, you keep it as long as possible.  It’s almost worth parking there all day and walking home.  However, we opt to have lunch at The Casino, having first been to the bank.  We returned to the car some three hours later, to find it now standing in the blazing sun with the inside doing justice to a furnace.
