A beautiful yellow flying machine.....

Hi Worlds !!

I've just realised - I've not posted anything for about a week !! I'm sorry about that..... I will try and do better - even if I have very little to write about.... onwards - the family !!

As it's a Sunday and I'm still stuck in hospital.... yep, I'm still here.... B came in this afternoon and paid me a visit !! She came in about 2pm and we went for a "walk" around the grounds - well, she walked - I just wrapped up warm & sat in my wheelchair !! Altho' my walking has improved, since the surgery, I'm still not able to manage "long" distances !!

Anyhoo - we 1st went to the hospital shop & treated ourselves to a couple of goodies - me a small pack of shortbread biscuits & B, a "new" apple drink...... which I helped her with !! It wasn't really my fault - well, Ok, it was.... but........ to explain.

From the shop - we went outside & the distinct smell of aviation fuel was in the air. The Air Ambulance had landed at some point (tho' we didn't hear it) and was parked up outside the hospital's main A & E entrance. So - went to one of the little park areas (there are several around the hospital, for people to sit & talk.... tho' - despite signs everywhere, people still smoke around these places.... very naughty)... oh well !!

Our plan was to wait for the helicopters engines to start & then watch it take off..... while waiting, we ate the biscuits & I - sort of - drank the biggest part of B's drink !! Oh - I forgot - as I have paid a small support payment, to the Air Ambulance, for a few years now, I wanted to get a close up look at the thing..... it was quite special really - especially as the pilot came over & took a few pictures of me, with the beautiful yellow flying machine - which I'm going to increase my support for, if I ever get out of here !!

I've never been that close to it before & it was pretty good........ it really was !!

Afterwards... we came back in & I ate a piece of chicken, that B had brought in for me. To try & explain...

I've lost about 20 or so pounds, since being in here & my number one Consultant has moaned at me, for some while, to try and eat stuff....... He is worried that I won't heal, unless I increase my intake !! The fact I came in, at about 90kg and only really lost weight, during my stay - we believe, due to poor health & the 6 operations I've had, during my 2 month stay !!

My diet was enough to keep my weight on, while I was home.... so, I don't see how it's anything to do with that, but a heck a lot to do with the above mentioned health problems !! To - kind of - reinforce that, today, I was weighed & I've gained over 3kg........ in the last week !! During which, I've had no operations or major health scares !! One up for my diet, I do believe !! I'm going to have another go at his co-doctors tomorrow !! The consultant was here earlier, he didn't even speak to me.... so, screw them all I say !! If my diet is such an issue, how come I gain, in one week... a quarter of what I had lost in the previous 7 weeks !!

Oh well... back to the family....

B left about 4pm & headed home..... I'll probably see her tomorrow, depending on how things go....

Yesterday tho' it was a good day..... I told the Dr's I was going home for the day & off I went !! I've been here 2 months (yesterday) and I was going home, no matter what !! So - I saw J (who still hates my guts) and Me + boyfriend M during my stay. Even more importantly - I got to be there, when the newest addition of the family arrived...... a very tiny ginger & white kitten, called Archie !! I had for gotten just how small cats are, at 7+ weeks of age !!

According to B - he is going around the house, like he has lived there his entire - short - life !! Such fun....

So - that's the family....

I came back to the hospital, about 4.45pm and things have settled back in the same, stupid, routine !! Including being woken up, at 5.45am (this morning) for a set of blood tests !! How dumb is that ?! They usually hang a drip up, about 8pm each evening - which lasts about 2+ hours. If they think they are going to put one up tonight (time now) about 9.45pm) they can go to hell & back !! I'm not staying awake - or prepared to be woken up, sometime after midnight, just because they didn't hang it earlier...... well, screw them, I'm having a full nights sleep tonight & balls to their thoughts on my medical treatment !!

I'm having "server problems" tonight - so, if this comes out rubbish, I'm sorry about that - I can't really do much about it !!

As tonight's music.... I'm listening to Bad Company's 'Live At Wembley' tape, on the Mini Egg.... well good bit of rock, to blast my cobwebs away with !! I must get home soon - there are dozens of Cd's there, just waiting for me to play thru' !! Oh - it's soooo sad, just thinking about them, collecting dust !!

Nevermind..... I must away...... it's getting late & despite my lunchtime pills not reaching me complete - I', still waiting for my 9pm supply !! They are never going to hang a bag tonight - no way !!

Must go - thank you for logging in....... until next time...

Bye Bye
