How is your bit of the universe treating you today ? Here - on my bit of planet Earth, well.... things have been going really well... I'll explain more a bit later - or at least, I'll do my best at explaining more !!
But, first - the family !!
Well, first - I'm still stuck in this blooding hospital !! It's now been 2 months & 6 days, since I first set foot, thru' the doors of this place, for this visit - beating my previous stay, in this same hospital (in 2001) by well over 2 weeks - give or take - so, anytime a member of my family shows up, it brightens my day !!
Anyhoo - tonight, B came in & I could tell - from the moment she came into the room, she was not a very happy person !!
She had spent most of the day, up at Dad's place, helping him go thru' his bits & bobs, still unpacked from his moving house, a few weeks back. From there, ME - who was with B - drove to a shopping "Outlet" place & from there back here to Taunton. They didn't come in - mainly as they needed to get home.... that's what caused the problems & lead to B's unhappiness........
J had been home, all day, on his own........ yet, it seems he had turned the kitchen into some kind of disaster zone !! When B got into the house - it seems that the "smell" of the dirty plates & stuff, came out the front door to meet her !!
So... J my Son........ get it together !! Just because I'm not home to be blamed for everything under the Sun, don't push your luck - I'll no doubt get to see you, before you get to leave us, for Uni...... and I know you still hate my guts...... but, as you - and the rest of the family were reminded, in May, you live in MY house - so, don't push you luck mate !!
I'm fed up of your Mum, coming in to see me - all wound up - because of your ways, so......... "get it together"....... moving on......
B's visit was short - but, we managed to get outside for little trip around. As it was past 7pm, for once, it was really cooler out there - I didn't feel at all hot, until we came back into the main buildings !! It made a great changed - just lately, it's been so hot..... just going to the outside was hard work !! Oh well..... I still get very tired, just doing simple things, but...... today has been a very good day........
B & I have been trying for sooooo long, to get the Consultant "on-side" to my - lack of eating- eating habits !! I've been sick, off & on, for 12 years nearly, and we know what I can eat & how much etc etc. Well, the Dr's here have been trying their hardest to, kind of, "force feed" me.... not just food, but all of their various ideas, as well ..... it has been a disaster !!
Especially this week - after all the efforts I went thru', to gain weight (since the main surgery)...... this week, alone - doing what was expected of me, using their "plan" - well, I lost about 3kg !! How dumb is that, they wiped out, my entire weight gain, of the last 2 weeks.............. the buggers !!
So, today - probably as I had told the Consultant "I've lost faith in what you're trying to do"....... which I think hurt his feelings (so be it, I say - I've never been one to bite my tongue)..... well, I had a visit from 3 other Dr's - all Consultants in their own fields.
The first one I expected...... a visit from a lady, to - to check on my mood !! If I'm depressed, you see, I won't be making "sound decisions" & so, my Dr could, if I let him, use against me !! It seems that I'm not mad & so, that plot failed !!
The second visit, was by another one of my Consultants.....plus, another Consultant, and, if the guy here thought that was going to work - well, he got that wrong !! She is a top specialist, in her field - and she couldn't understand, what the hell guy here was trying to achieve, in his treatment !!
As it turned out - she has reported back & - much to our surprise - we have already had an apology, from one of the team - bowing to her greater knowledge & finally agreeing to let me, here in the hospital, with B's help from home + visits.... to do what we have been asking them to do, for weeks & weeks !!
One up - after lots of setbacks - to team Ishmael !! Yippeeee !!
So, now - we.... B & I ....... are looking after my diet & unless things go very wrong, I hope to be gaining weight over the next few weeks and, in turn, putting more "goodness" into my body, to help with my healing process !! Again......... I love it when things go right + it helps, that's I've been trying sooooo very hard, to do things right..... as taught to us, by the second Consultant, over the last 12 years......... Ho-hum !!
Ok........ it's been one of the better days, so far, in this madhouse of a hospital, I've called home, since last May !!
So - that's been my day...... as for the music....... I've found a George Thorogood 'live' album, on the Mini Egg & I'm not sure where it came from !! So, if any of you - my readers - know what it's called & can help with that, I would, as always be glad to hear from you about it !!
The tracks are:
1) Who Do You Love
2) Bottom Of The Sea
3) Nighttime
4) I Drink Alone
5) One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
6) Alley Oop
7) Madison Blues
8) Bad To The Bone
9) The Sky Is Crying
10) Reeling & Rocking
As I say - it's on my iPod thingy - my Mini Egg - and I don't really remember anything about it....... so, if any of you can help, I would be grateful !!
But, for now, I will away & sort myself out, for bed. It's really crap spending sooooo much time in here, but - hopefully, I'll be out soon-ish.... way, at least by Christmas !! Time will tell on that one, I
guess !! Thanks for reading..... until next time....
Bye Bye
