Goodbye Sagan... Ho-hum....

Greetings World's !!

I hope you are all doing well, this fine & Sunny afternoon ?! It's the best part of 3pm here, in the wilds of England.... it was meant to have rained today, but so far, nothing has come along..... maybe later.

It's not been a great couple of days.... but more of that, later on.... first the family !!

As I type - the 2 "Ladies of the House" are here with me..... both over to my left. They have started watching 'Lizard Lick Towing' & it's got a hook into them !! It is a bit of silliness - all fun & games !! I'm not really sure about it... a bit of fun, that's all it is really !!

As for J.... he is still over in Wales, doing his Uni thing - I'm not sure when he will be back in this area.... that's up to him. Time will tel on that one, I guess !!

As for me... well, as I say........ not too good !!

About a month or so ago, I went down to Exeter & saw this Consultant guy. He is all to do with plastic surgery & stuff... if all goes to plan, I'm suppose to go back to his hospital, on May 12th & have the wound in my back sorted. That's the plan - which, at the moment doesn't - for me - seem like it's going to come together......

He wanted me to have this Vac pump fitted... in the hope it would sort the wound out, just a little batter, to make his task a little easier. Well - as of today, the wound hasn't got any better, infact... it's got worse, if that is possible !!

In a nut shell... a nurse came over, yesterday, to change the dressings (again !!) and - it hasn't felt right, since she did it.... it's been hurting way too much. The Vac pump has been "alarming" all night - to the point, where I disconnected it & stuck the blooming thing in the kitchen - as far away, from the bedroom, as I could !!

Anyhoo - today... another nurse has come out - luckily, the same nurse, who saw the wound a couple of weeks ago. Guess what ? The bloody pump has done no good at all !! Infact - the wound is now twice as big as it was, about 3 weeks ago.... that is just crazy !! The pump was meant to help & it's got worse !!

I cannot see how the surgery will go ahead now, not with the wound going the way it is !! Time will tell - but, next Wednesday, I have to go back & see the Consultant... so, it will be his decision. It's really maddening... it's coming up to the 11 month mark, since the 1st surgery... and.... !!

At least I know, now, why it has been hurting more & more....... it's just getting bigger, hence the extra pain !! Bloody sickening really.... !!

So - instead of the nurses coming around every 72 hours - the nurse is having to come back every day to redress it, great stuff - just when I thought it was all coming to a great end... things have gone tits up !!

I shouldn't moan - I'm very fortunate, in as much I have a great family around me, for support & everything. I also know, there are people very much, in a worse state than me.... sooooo, I really need to look on the bright side of life.... and put my hands back in the hands of those, who know far much about medical things, than myself. If they can sort it out, that would be great - if not... it will just mean things are going to take a while longer !!

Enough moaning... goodbye Sagan.

I'm not on book - I don't know - in 'The Game Of Thrones' series. It's called 'a Feast For Crows' and.. it's really interesting !! One of the better reads I've had, in a long while. Maybe not so good as 'The Dig Tree' - but, that's a totally different type of thing really !!

As for the music of the moment..

I'm listening to Steve Wonder's 'Live 8' set... it's just playing away, in the background. I picked this Cd - mainly as it has The Who & Pink Floyd on it !! I'm glad I transferred it over to Cd, from the DVD's.... it will give me hours of fun, listening to it.... all 8 Cd's !! "Wow" !!.... I can't believe it took sooooo many docs ?! Nevermind.... it will be a bit of fun, just playing the stuff I like on them.

I'm hoping, next week, to treat myself to a couple of Cd's I've seen...

One is the latest Transatlantic set.... & the other is a thing, from an old Marillion band member, called  'Script Revisited'. The latter is a 2 Cd live set... the former... well, it's a 3 disc thingy. I could buy the cheaper - not by much - one disc version.... but, I want the disc of cover versions, that they do... !! I do like their stuff - a great collection of musicians, doing what they do best !!

Oh well.... I'm hurting, so I'm going for a lay back & read type of afternoon...... sounds like a great plan to me !!

As always - thank you for logging in... until next time..

Bye Bye
