Today has been a very good day !! Not only has the sun been out for most of the day - I had two bits of good news !! Not only did the 'new' Led Zeppelin Cd's reach me - but..... I have a date for my next surgery !! Yipppppeeeeeee !!
Yep - the date has been set for my next hospital visit.... it's going to be two weeks tomorrow. I think that makes it Friday 30th September & the implant will be fitted.... I will be bionic !! I am soooooooooo happy about this, I can not begin to tell you what a weight it has lifted off my shoulders - I at last, have something to keep a focus on - something that I can honestly say will change my life - (if only a little bit) - for the better !!
Yes, I know it will not prolong my life - but it will make things so much easier for.... well, not just me but for all of us really. I hope I'm not wishing for too much - but after last years trial period..... well, I am really looking forward to this & have been looking towards it for over a year now !! If you read past pages, you'll know what I mean.........
As for the Zeppelin Cd's...... they are well good. I would of liked them a few weeks ago - when I was promised - but, better late than never... I guess !! It's a typical 1975 Zeppelin USA set list - but it's good to have a decent copy of the show. So it starts with 'Rock & Roll' - thru' various tracks, including 'No Quarter' 'Stairway To Heaven' & 'Dazed & Confused' ending up with 'Black Dog'.....
I've had the set for a while - but not this tape of the show....... my other versions, mostly the old audience tape that has been around for a long while. That was a good one, but this one is far better !! It's title is 'Haven't We Met Somewhere Before ?' & if you have a chance - give it a listen.... I think you'll like it, if only a little bit !! But don't buy it....... do not buy bootlegs !!
I'm not playing any music at the moment - I've been playing stuff all afternoon. From the new Zeppelin set, thru' to Canned Heat a little ago....... now, the music machine is cooling down a bit - it.... like me...... needs it's sleep !! Mind you - my lovely Daughter has come home & is watching TV - so, I've decided to give up on music for a while & let it have a rest !!
As for the rest of the family - J is upstairs & B has gone out to another gym class thingy. She was upset as she had gained a little bit of weight - but, it was only a little bit, so I told her not to worry about it - after all, she has lost sooooo much over the last year !! I love her as she is - that's the main thing.... as I keep telling her !! She looks after me..... & I try to look after her !!
Oh, remember the black left hand ? Well, after going from black to pink over the last week or so - it's now going back to black...... I fell over - oooopppsss !! Yep, I went down like a complete plonker !! I went down, put my hand out & that was a really bad idea - as it was the left hand !! So now, it's back to being swollen & going back to black........ which is not so great - but, if it keeps going this way..... well, it will be back to the Dr's in the morning.
As it was - I had my weekly check up with him & I'm back to see him next Thursday.... just to make sure I'm Ok. to be honest, I would rather see him, then have the district nurse coming around to see me. She is very nice, but...... I feel it as bit of an intrusion. It's our home - I don't really want anybody around me - not here at least, not medic's anyways !! I'm more than a little weird that ways...........
I am a little p**s*d with the members of the Church at the moment......... please don't get me wrong, I love the Church, it's teachings & I miss not going. But - well - it's more to do with the people at Church. Not the Bishop or the top guys.... but, the general congregation.
I've been quite poorly over the last few months & hence B hasn't taken me to Church as much as I would like....... but, when we did go - it was a scrum around us, asking "where have you been" & "why haven't you been to Church" and so and so........... yet, only the Bishop actually phoned to see how I was & to ask if B needed help at all, with anything !!
Ok, that might be his job - but..... to my mind, it wouldn't hurt some one else to just phone up to see if B needed anything - any help or what have you. That kind of makes me upset..... they moan to our face & behind our backs, if we're not there - but never phone to see if we need any thing. I'm not being very Christian - but, it's the way I feel at the moment !! Never mind - after I finish here..... I'll contact the Bishop & let him know about my next hospital trip - we'll see how things go from there really. I do like going to Church - I just can not make it all the time & I really wish people.... especially the older ones would realise that.
Ok - The Music is back on now..... it's Neil Young's 'Greendale' album from quite a few years back & I've always liked this one - at first I thought it sounded like Lou Reed, but I've grown past that now. I can't remember when the album first came out.... but, I do like it !!
I'm going to have to give up soon - my eyes have gone all strange - it's due to a lack of sleep & the last pot of pills & potions I had to take...... for now - I will away.
Please read again, it's nice to know you're out there - even if I don't know all your names. For now.....
Bye Bye
