Greetings World's !!
I'm really hoping your part of the Universe is treating you well, this hot & bright Saturday ?! It's a little after 11am & it's already way up over 20 C in the shade !! Even for me - that's kind of crazy !! Poor B has decided, that today, would be a good day, to get the mower out & attack the grass....... now that's really crazy !!
Oh well...... I've realised, I've not posted very much, this past week - sorry about that !! My mind was willing, but my body put a big fat middle finger up, to those plans !!
When I was told, that I was dying - I decided "Not today" !! Mind you - I've gone 10 years, past that deadline. Is that why it's called a "deadline" ? Here's a date & - by the way - you're going to be dead by then !! "Not today" !!
To be honest - I have really, really, really had a bellyful, of being poorly !! To explain.........
As mentioned, about a week or so ago - I've given up on my local Dr's. I needed an appointment - so B went down, on the Thursday, to make one, for Friday... only to be told, I couldn't make it then, as I had to 'phone in, the following morning, at 8am. How dumb that was - well, since then, I've been bloody minded & decided to do things my way !!
This week - I've taken myself off of the 52+ pills, I'm suppose to take each day & cut it back, to mostly pain med's.... a drop of some 30 pills !! I don't feel any better for it - but, more importantly - I'm not feeling any worse for it !!
Thankfully, My Wife & Dearest Friend, B has agreed with me & has been very supportive - that is a huge help, believe me !!
This past week - I've had my dressings changed on the 3 usual days...... and, despite being on sooooo many anti bio-tics, that things should have improved.... nothing has !! Infact - even taking all of these pills, things have got worse !! How mad is that ?! Sooooo - I've taken things into my own hands & will go it alone, for a while at least.
The nurse, probably the best one, that I see on Fridays, asked if I minded seeing the guy, we call "Dr. Hans" - as he was worried about my last blood test. It seems that something has gone way up over the 1000 mark - don't ask me what, I'm just the person they talk about, as if I'm not there !!
Anyhoo - as I like that nurse, I agreed. "Dr Hans" came in & put me right at ease, by telling me that "we've never met"..... until, I pointed out, that in December 2012, he sent me to the hospital & from there, things just from bad to worse !!
Honestly - how are you meant to have faith, in your Dr's - when they tell you, that they've never met you, but it was them, who got this whole roller coaster going, over 30 months ago !! Honestly - it's really finished me, it totally has !!
In a nut shell, the anti bio-tics that I've been taking, for what seems like an eternity - well, they've done bugger all & he ("Dr Hans") wants me to take another load, on top !! If the first lot, are not working, why keep taking them ?! Where is the logic, in that ?!
As we left the car park - he came running after me, asking me, to take 4 capsules a day, extra...... yeah, like that's going to happen !!
This coming week, I've decided I'm not going near the place, until Friday..... I'm booked in, on Monday & Wednesday - but, screw that !! I can't keep going on, like this !!
Sooooo - my dear reader, how has your week been ?! Has the sky been the right shade of yellow & the sea the right shade of purple ?! Only joking - I know the sea is pink, not purple !!
B came back into the house, a short while back... holding out an ice lolly !! I'll take that, any day of the week.... it's better than this humidity !!
As I've been typing - I've been listening to Dream Theater's 'Breaking The Fourth Wall' concert Cd's. I've listed the tracks, at least once, but... they are:
CD 1
1) The Enemy Inside
2) The Shattered Fortress
3) On The Backs Of Angels
4) The Looking Glass
5) Trial Of Tears
6) Enigma Machine
7) Along For The Ride
8) Breaking All Illusions
CD 2
1) The Mirror
2) Lie
3) Lifting Shadows Off A Dream
4) Space Dye Vest

'Scenes From A Memory'
1) Scene 2 I: Overture 1928
2) Scene 2 II: Strange Deja Vu
3) Scene 7 I: The Dance Of Eternity
4) Scene 9: Finally Free
To me, this is far better set, than the 'Live At Luna Park' thingy, that came out a while back.... I can play it, time after time, with-out getting fed of hearing it !!
I got hold, of a bundle of stuff, which I believe I mentioned last time around...... I don't think I've played all of them yet !! Oh well - I will get around to it... in the meantime, I've had another Lynyrd Skynyrd live set reach me.
It was, unfortunately, recorded back in 1996, at 'Rockpalast' - The Loreley Festival'.... I was hoping it would be, an up to date set... but, I'll take whats going !! The tracks are:
CD 1
1) Workin' For MCA
2) I Ain't The One
3) Down South Jukin'
4) Double Trouble
5) I Know A Little
6) Saturday Night Special
7) Swamp Music
8) What's Your Name
9) Simple Man
10) Gimme Three Steps
11) Call Me The Breeze
CD 2
1) Sweet Home Alabama
2) Free Bird
+ from 1974
3) Workin' For MCA
4) Free Bird
5) Sweet Home Alabama
As yet, I've not played the Cd's - or the DVD that came with the set.... maybe later - I'll let you know !! It should be good.
Ok - it's quitting time... The GB F1 race is this weekend & the qualifying starts, in about an hour - sooooo, I want to get the butt, into a comfy chair & see how things turn out !! It would be brilliant if JB could win this weekend, but - that is an unlikely event !!
As always - I thank you, for taking the time, to log in & read my words... either by design, or by misfortune, I thank you all the
same !! I will try & return a little quicker..... until next time...
Bye Bye
