Great news & a Phoenix...... Ho-hum

Well Greetings Worlds !!

A big "Hello" to all of you - especially my reader in Poland, I thank you for logging on & taking the time to read my words..... moving on....

It's a Monday night, here in my part of the Universe - my part being located in the South-West of England. I went outside, just a while ago & it's really nice out there !! Mind you - being stuck in this bloody hospital.... well, just getting outside is "nice" enough...... with the Sun out, it just makes it all a little better !!

B has just left me, as tonight's visiting time is over (again)..... I'm always sad to see her leave - but, for now, it's all I've got... so, I have to put up with it !! We used to have "all day" visiting - a few years back - but, they had to do away with that, too many people were abusing the system. They were coming in, early in the morning & staying until late at night..... which meant, the idiots (like me) who really needed time to heal - well, we just couldn't handle it..... so, visiting got changed to set hours. It's a bummer - but, that's all we've got !!

I'm not too up-to-date, with the rest of the family...... tho' - I might of mentioned this before - ME & M came in, for a very quick visit over the weekend.... dropping off chocolate supplies in the process !! It was great to see them tho' !!

As for J - well, apart from what B tells me, I've no idea what is happening with him....... I guess he still hates my guts - but, that's up to him..... my life will come to an end one day.. and that's a fact !! In other words - I've got other things to deal with !!

I've mentioned before - about how there are 6 beds, in the same bay as myself.... well, there is a new guy - beside me - and he seems fascinated by the fact I'm using the computer. Some people seem to think that there is all over coverage, for computers (wi-fi) but, "it ain't so Joe"....... maybe I'll tell him my secret, but - at the moment, I have my headphones on - listening to Marillion's 'Script For A Jester's Tear'.... not the album, just a live version of the track of the same name.....

Anyhoo - when I take the 'phones off, I might speak to him.... I'll see how "friendly he is first !! Which reminds me....

In one of the other bays, there is this really weird guy...... and, to be honest, given how weird I am.... this guy is completely off of his trolley. Well, anyways - this guy seems to like anything computer wise and, from time to time, he walks past my window - sort of looking in, at me - but trying hard not to be noticed !! He is very strange...... as am I - so, we're together on that one !!

The music of the moment - well, it's a Norwegian single, which I liked, from many many years ago..... and it's on 'Project 87'..... which I'm playing thru' on the Mini Egg. I was looking for something to listen to, the other night & decided to give this another play !!

For all information, on 'Project 87' - you'll have to look up some earlier posts of mine, in which I explain what it was all about !! It's all very sad - but.... it means a lot to me !!

Oh - last night, I had a couple of visitors, in the shape of the Taunton Missionaries. One of them is moving areas this week, so he wanted to come & say goodbye, while he had the chance. I didn't know him that well, but it was great, just to have met him & shared a few laughs together - plus a prayer......

Which brings us back to the hospital & the big news of the day...... I might be going home soon - to finish my recovery there !! Ain't that great ?! After 3 months in this place - I will be able to walk away & know that the worst is behind me !!

The 'hole' in my back is still there - but, it's so much smaller than it was..... so, I brought the subject up with the powers that be, in this place, I'm referring of course to the nurses and, from there, it went to the people who will make the final thoughts on whether I'm well enough to leave !! As I said to 2 of them, today - I can't sit here, day after day, with-out some "end game" in place... where by, I leave the hospital & have the wound dressed at home, by someone qualified.

So, as this week goes along - they are going to look into getting me a nurse, to come to the house, 3 times a week, to change the dressing & clean the wound etc etc. This coming weekend - I'm going home, for a few days & then back here, on Monday or Tuesday of next week.... with the chance that things will be in place, for me to go home, permanently shortly there after !! How cool will that be..... I know there are several thing that could go wrong, between now & then - but......... If all goes well, I could be home in early
September !! "Yippeeee" !!

It'll be great - just being able to relax & not have to beat along to the same drum of the hospital routine !! I can get up, when I feel like it - and just chill out, in my own way...... well, that's what I hope,
at least !! Time will tell on that one !! I will keep you posted.......

So - for now, with Wishbone Ash, blasting 'Phoenix' into my ear drums, I best away...... I've still got 462 pages of the 2nd 'Game Of Thrones' book to read - and I would kind of like to get that one finished, before I leave here for good..... again, time will tell on that one !!

I must away - I thank you all for taking the time to read my words..... until next time......

Bye Bye
