With the big day looming tomorrow we figure we should work out our plan of action.  We will need a taxi to get us to the hospital and as we have decided it would be easier for me to stay with Derek, then the best idea would be one of the wheelchair taxis to take us.  Tried to ‘phone to book one, but the woman at the other end did not speak English, and refused to understand my Spanish; okay so my Spanish is lousy.  Gerry, our neighbour comes to the rescue and phones them for us, however, wheelchair taxis can not be booked in advance. “You must phone in the morning”  Luckily, Gerry has a friend of her granddaughter, who has a friend, Jose, that has a wheelchair taxi, so that is arranged for 7:20am.  A great weight lifted just knowing that has been booked.  Now just pack a case for two people, not forgetting to take some tea bags (the ones at San Jaime are rubbish),  breakfast/cereal bars and a pack of cards and crib board to while away the hours.  I also take papers to read as I have read that the operation takes 2 to 3 hours.
