Saving up to buy the Optician a case of wine...

Join

Five weeks ago I decided to buy my Mum's Optician a bottle of wine. He had noticed my Mum was anaemic and suggested she see her Doctor. I thought a nice red was in order for going the extra mile. Subsequent tests revealed the anaemia originated from a tumor in Mum's stomach. More tests again identified a stomach cancer. So that nice bottle of red has been upgraded to a case of nice Reds. I am hoping he has saved her life.
