It's a Saturday & I'm here - feeling slightly worse for wear, but.... still flapping these old arm of mine !! I might be down, but I'm not out... well, not quite yet at least !! Onwards, ever onwards.....
I'm sat here alone at the moment... J is stood behind me, getting some lunch.. but, apart from that - well, it's all quiet !! B & ME have gone out shopping........ for a new car !! Yep, that's right... our Daughter is in the market for a new set of wheels & she has taken Mum with her to look at various cars around and about. At the moment, she is thinking about a Fiat 500, but... it will probably be something else next week !! I've told her, not to sign up for anything until I see what she is thinking about buying !!
Talking of 'seeing'........ my right eye has gone completely off on a tangent - I can not see a blooming thing out of it !! Honestly, the last couple of days have been really frustrating, as - bit by bit, my World has got blurrier & blurrier !! Is "blurrier" an actual word ? It's crazy - to type this - well, to read it back - I have to close my right eye & use the left one on it's own.... how crazy is that ?!
It's been a bummer of a week, health wise & this has just added to the whole thing...... to explain - as best I can !! I'm going in to see an 'eye doctor' - whatever they call it in a couple of weeks... so, we should have some answers then... I hope !!
Plus as mentioned before - I had to see my Consultant, about the implant, on Thursday. To start with, I saw a junior Dr who really didn't know me - or my case - and that upset me a bit.... thinking I had to go thru' it 'all' again. Explaining the problem & what have you.... however, after a few minutes, the Consultant showed up - full of "sorry's" for not being there etc... ... The upshot of all of it - well, I could of had surgery yesterday, if all had gone well, but.... !! The guy couldn't fit me - as his surgery "list" was full & there wasn't enough time to get me in, operated on & what have you... there wasn't just enough room on his schedule. That was a shame, but - it's going to be done sooner, rather than later & - for us - that's the main thing !!
He needs to do it quickly, according to him, before everything "heals up" & what have you.... I did get one concession out of him tho' - the implant itself will be fitted in my front or side - rather than, as it is now, in my lower back !! That means, I hope, I will be able to sit down easier !! We will see how things go - I'm to wait by the phone & he'll let me know when I can go back in......... great stuff !!
Right, that was Thursday - yesterday - I had to see my local GP, who is quite happy with me at the moment (I'm glad to say) & also another one of my Consultants...... She is very nice, but she wants to keep me on the same pills & potions, at least, until after the implant surgery !! That was a bit of a let down, as I had hoped to cut back a bit on what I take, but..... it's not to be, well, not for a little while at least !!
So - add into all of that, my right eye going blurry, everything is "coming up roses" as they say...... it's all good, just very frustrating !! Onwards.....
I see on the news, there has been some bad tornado damage & loss of life in America..... our prayers are with you all. Looking at the pictures, it makes what I'm having to put up with seem very small !!
I'm not 'allowed' out at the moment, sooooo we won't be at Church tomorrow. It comes to something when my Dr's make it a sort of rule to stay in the house & rest !! I think I'm Ok to go out - but, if I want the surgery, I have to make sure I'm well enough to have it !!
I'll e-mail Bishop after I finish this, to let him know I've not run away or anything !! I am a little upset - with the Church - at the moment... mainly over the whole going to Temple thing.... but, if it's not to be, it's not to
be !!
The music of the moment - and for the last hour - is Gov't Mules 'The Deep End' 3 Cd set. I rarely play their studio stuff, but I enjoy this set.... so, why not !! By putting the Cd's on 'shuffle'... well, it breaks it up a bit !!
I don't have Led Zeppelin concerts from March 3rd, but.... I do have one, I like, from March 4th & as I will not be on the computer tomorrow, I thought I would jump ahead a day. So, on March 4th 1975, the band were in Dallas, Texas for the first of a 2 night stop over.. I have several Cd's from this show, but the best one is the following set:
CD 1
1) Rock & Roll
2) Sick Again
3) Over The Hills & Far Away
4) In My Time Of Dying
5) The Song Remains The Same
6) The Rain Song
7) Kashmir
CD 2
1) No Quarter
2) Trampled Underfoot
3) Moby Dick
CD 3
1) Dazed & Confused
2) Stairway To Heaven
3) Whole Lotta Love
4) Black Dog
5) Heartbreaker
This is one of those bootlegs that has been around - almost since 'day one' - by which I mean, it was one of the easiest to get, even years & years ago !! It came out as single Lp, then a 2 Lp set... a single Cd, a 2 Cd & finally as a complete 3 Cd set of the show. I've had nearly all of the above at some point or another - it really was sooooo easy to find.... there was even copies of it in regular 'record shops' - honestly, there were so many copies of it about !! It's a sound board recording & is very good on the ears.... but, as always - don't buy bootlegs !! Buy the official stuff......
While I was looking at the shows (from above) I found a Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris Cd that I had lost !! I know, how can a person lose a Cd ? - well, quite easily really..... especially when it's in a box of Led Zeppelin shows !! I did wonder where I had put it....... to the point where I bought another copy to replace the thing !! Oh well...... I must have a better look in the other boxes, The Lord knows what else might be 'lost' in those as well !! Ho-hum...........
So - today's plans..... as usual, I have none at all !! I know I have to rest up, but... I guess I'll just sit here & listen to music or watch a film - that sounds like a plan to me folks !! As for the rest of the weekend.... more of the above I guess !! It's such a hard life, but.... somebody had got to do it !! I don't mind now - knowing that the surgery is going to happen..... it's was the not knowing that was the worry !!
I was going to mention - it's been really great weather here in England these past few days !! It was the first day of Spring on Saint David's Day (March 1st) & so far at least, the weather, in our little corner of England, has been really good..... I think it's going back to rain over the coming days, but...... It's nice to see the Sun shine over the fields & stuff !!
It's our wedding anniversary on Monday - so, I hope the weather will stay good for that..... we're not thinking about doing anything special, but it would be nice to have a bit of sunshine !! Anyhoo, I must away & try & read this back, before posting it !! So, with 'Blind Man In The Dark' playing in the background, I will away.... my thanks to you all for reading.... especially my Russian reader who logged in today !! Until next time...
Bye Bye
