A Very long day in hospital.... Judas Priest - it's so boring !!

Greetings Worlds !!

I hope your bit of the Universe is treating you well & no matter which planet you might be - or not be - your day is going better than mine !! No - really...... my day started off badly & just seems to have got worse !!

Nevermind - it's a Friday & that means it's "fish & chips" day...... oh yes - I'm still stuck in the bloody hospital & as we only have a weekly menu (the same meals, on the same day - each week) I now know what meals come on every day of the week !! It's that bad, in here, that I've started to look forward to certain days of the week & the meals that come on those days !!

Anyhoo - it's a Friday....... about 11.20am & it's really warm in here today !! Not that I'm bothered, as I have my fan blasting away - beside me on the table. It's been a Godsend - especially during this Summer...... it's been a bummer, being stuck in here - but, made more so, by the very hot sunny weather that I've missed - apart from the odd times I've gone outside, in my wheelchair !! Oh well - more of that later.......

Well, not much later....

First - the family.

As it's so early in the morning - I've not had any visitors yet, but..... if all go's to plan, B will be here in about one hour, a little earlier than earlier than normal..... but.....

As for the rest of the "Clan" - well, I saw both of the guys, briefly, yesterday...... and they seemed to be doing Ok....... ME had done a nightshift, so she was a little out of it and J - well, he was being J........ the odd grunt & a little bit of help !! The latter was a
surprise !!

Best explain, about the past couple of days.......

I've not been in the best of health.... hence I've been stuck in this bloody place for nearly 3 months !! But - a combination of being very bored & feeling like crap - made me decide I wanted some time at home...... so, I left here on Wednesday evening & slept over, at home - coming back yesterday. It was a great idea - but, in practice - things went really wrong !!

By the time B got me back - well, I was climbing walls, in pain !! I really was suffering ....... nevermind - I got a few hours in bed and all was well with my little bit of the Universe !! It was a shame that I couldn't really enjoy my time, at home - but, I got to sleep in my own bed & - also - I got to play with Archie..... my new kitten !! He is brilliant - he really is !!

Having only seen him, on the day he arrived, I was amazed just how big he had got !! I think B said he had put on, about, half a kilo..... so, that's pretty good really !! Oh well - if all goes well, I'll get to see him again soon !! Tho' - I'm not going to hold my breath, while I wait !!

Before I go any further - I think I'm doing something wrong with this computer...... I can't get it to save properly - which is a pain, as I can't read back what I'm trying to write !! So - I'm sorry, in advance, for all of my mistakes - which will no doubt be massive !!

It's getting along, time wise here........ oh well.......... I'll get back to this later !!

Hi - I'm back again !!

It's about 9.30pm - so the day has really gone on....... and it's been very, very hectic !!

Back to earlier...... B came in, at about 12.30pm (as agreed) and we waited for the arrival of a doctor, who specializes in plastic surgery - yep.... that's right !! They are now trying to sort out the f****ing great hole in my back, with plastic surgery - well, they were !! That plan seems to have died a death..... before it even got off the
ground !!

At the moment, the "hole" is too..... um..."poorly"..... so, the guy doesn't think it will be worthwhile, doing anything, at the moment. If things improve - and if is a big word at this moment in time - they might be able to do something later on..... but, not for now !! Which means, I'm going to have to put up with an open wound, for just a while longer..... maybe 6 months longer - but, time will tell on that one, I guess !!

My Consultant is actually here at the moment - talking with other guys. So - hopefully, he might pop over to have a talk with your's truly !! I want to have a moan - to him - about our/my lunch, today.

When the staff were handing stuff out, by the time they got to me - they had completely run out of food !! I'm not joking - there was no food left, for me to eat - and that really pissed me off !! I keep hearing about putting weight on & eating more   - but, how can I do any of those things, when there is no bloody food to eat !!

I should of moaned more, at the time - but, I was that pissed off about it, I didn't really think about it at the time....... oh well !! Again - time will tell on that one......... luckily B was able to buy some chicken fillet burgers, down at the hospital "food stop"..... so, all in all, it was Ok...... bloody wrong, but not to worry about it !!

The Consultant has just looked in - he thought I was joking about the food....... he is going to look into it, as he says, it's pretty disgusting and shouldn't of happened !! Moving on.....

As mentioned before, the wards of this place, are made up of 4 bays of 6 beds per bay.... which isn't too bad - as usually we have a good laugh & joke about stuff. Tonight tho' - there is a guy here - well, either he shuts his mouth or I'm going to report him for being a
racist !! Some of the crap he is coming out with - well, it doesn't belong to this day & age.... or any day in history, as far as I'm concerned !! He is a jerk - now he is on about India & how we're supporting them... etc etc !! Jerk !! Oh well - maybe I should stick a laxative (or 5).... if nothing else, he can spend the night in the bloody loo !!

Right - back to my exciting day........

After the plastic surgeon went, it was time to have my dressing changed - not the most exciting thing, for me to look forward to !! No matter how "good" the girls are, who do my dressing.... it still bloody hurts & after it was done, I just went back to my bed & slept for about 2 hours !! Only the moaning of the jerk it, a couple of beds away woke me up !! He really is a bloody ..... over grown kid - who seem to moan about everything and anything !! Oh well...... it takes all sorts I guess !!

As for the music of the moment - well, I was listening to a Cd, by 'The Australian Pink Floyd Show'.... it's really good - but, I couldn't concentrate on writing & listening..... maybe later on !!

Just a few moments on what I'm reading at the moment.

As mentioned before - ME gave me a copy of 'A Game Of Thrones'...... 'A Song Of Ice & Fire'. Well - having had a forced stay in here - I read it all the ways thru'.... and now I'm on the 2nd book of the set - 'A Clash Of Kings'... so far, so good !!

When I was home... I did watch the first 2 episodes of season one.... and that was great fun - especially as it all made a lot more sense this time - having read the book !! When I get home - I'll give it another go & see how it turns out......... well good read tho' - especially if you have lots of time on your hands !! Moving on... and rounding this off, for now at least !!

'Tis getting really late now & I'm getting really tired out now........ so, I will be on my ways !!

Once the jerk goes to sleep - I will sort myself out and do some reading......... that's something about being stuck in here, I need to keep myself 'active' and what have you. Last night, I was reading until nearly 1am... or so, and that was good enough for me !! Anyhoo - I must away.......

I thank you all for reading my words & taking the time to log in !! It's really good to know you're all out there and taking the time to read my words - I thank you all...... until next time.....

Bye Bye
