It's been a bummer of a day for me... it's really been tiring & all in all, a bit of a waste of time & effort !! I will try & explain.....
read on !!
read on !!
I had to go back to the hospital, to have my implant "turned on"... so, we got up (kind of) early & made the trip over to Taunton. So far so good - but.... (there is always a "but") ... the Dr couldn't turn the thing on, because the gizmo's they use to set it up had "gone walkabout" !! I kid you not - they couldn't find the thing needed to set the programmes & so.... I have to go back on Monday of next week... to try again !!
So - not only did we waste a trip today... I have to go back tomorrow to see the eye specialist & then a 3rd trip on Monday !! Honestly - 3 trips in 5 days is a little bit over the top, even for me !!
This thing, in me, cost £10,000 + the cost of putting it in wrong (first time around) and then doing it all over last Wednesday... and now they can't find the thing that sets it all up !! It's crazy.... it really is !! Oh well...
... one good thing did come out of it !! B did a big cake, for the ladies who looked after me, on the ward... so - to see the smiles on their faces kind of made up for all the disappointment !! I hope they enjoyed it - B makes great cakes !!
So - back to the hospital tomorrow & then a weekend of resting up.... just to go back again, on Monday !! Ain't life grand...... thankfully we're well stocked up on pain medications, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem !!
Oh - I forgot... the quote of the day !! When I asked the Dr why I had been sooooo poorly after the surgery, with the whole 4 breaths a minute & everything - his reply:
"You had enough sedation to euthanize a small horse"....... that's why I didn't wake up sooooo quickly !! I'm fast getting concerned about the health of my Dr's.......... Here's to the next one I guess - whenever that is !!
Oh well - it's all great fun here in the homestead folks !!
B has gone out to her Thursday gym class, J is upstairs along with ME - so, that leaves me here typing alone. Well, not quite alone - Mr Neil Young's 'Cow Palace 1986' 2 Cd set came today... so, that's the music of the moment ... just one of several new things I picked up today. The rest include:
'The Essential Lou Reed' - 'Lulu' (Lou Reed & Metallica) - '50 Words For Snow' (Kate Bush) - 'The Best Of 25 Years' (Sting) - 'The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions' (Chicken Shack) & 'Unusual Suspects' (Leslie West)....
I think that was all of them - tho' I might have missed the odd one !?! So much music & so few brain cells to cope with it all - I can think of worse ways to go !!
Ok - so "Why Support The Hobbit Pub ?! Honestly..... There is a pub, somewhere here in England, that the people who own the rights to 'Lord Of The Rings' stuff want to stop using that name - "The Hobbit" !! I kid you not.... it's been called the same name for about 20 years & now somebody somewhere wants to shut off the name... how bad is that !! You can check it out via the BBC web site... it's crazy..........
Enough moaning.... back to Led Zeppelin. They did 2 shows on March 15th 1969....... one of which is the 'famous' TV show that came out on the official DVD. I have several Cd's with these shows on & have picked one with 4 of the tracks on:
1) The Train Kept A Rollin'
2) I Can't Quit You
3) Dazed & Confused
4) You Shook Me
Because it's only 4 tracks - the Cd is made up with other stuff from that period........ it's all good - I just picked this one at random really !! As always - Don't pay for bootlegs... especially as this is out officially on the DVD anyhoo !! More another time..........
Right - as I have to be up & out of bed early (again) tomorrow, I'm having an early night !! I really could do with-out another trip to the hospital, but.... "what will be, will be" as they say !! So - my plans for tonight are very limited..... Play some more music, get myself - as best I can - ready for bed & then (hopefully) have a good sleep !! Sounds like a plan to me !!
Talking of going out - today was my first trip out side of the house, for the whole week - since I came home last Thursday !! I think I'm growing cob-webs here in this old home of ours..... I must try & get out a bit more. Not much chance of that I guess !!
Oh well - I will away... I'm enjoying this Neil Young set - I knew I would, as soon as I read a bad review of the show !! I always seem to like stuff that gets a bad press.... Ho-hum, until next time, thanks for reading !!
I did forget one of the things we picked up today.... 'The Essential "Weird Al" Yankovic !! Honestly - the stuff I make my family listen to..... it's all great fun tho' !!
Bye Bye
