Greetings World's !!
Is your section of the Universe treating you well, this fine Tuesday ? I greet all of you - in which ever quadrant of this fine Galaxy you happen to be living in !! It's quite warm here in England... well, this South-West corner, that we call home.
I'm here on my own, as I type...... well, apart from one of the cats - the aged Smudge. He's laying under the table at the moment. Every now & again, he pops his head out - maybe in the hope of getting some cat treats, or maybe even some extra food...... he's not getting either, sooooo he's well out of luck !! B has fed all of them, a little earlier...... that's enough for now !!
Talking of B... the ladies of the family have gone shopping, in Taunton. So look out, they're on their ways to you !! I know how much B hates shopping - and I know how much our Daughter loves shopping - sooooo, between them, they make a great pair !!
I was offered the chance, to go with them.... but, to be honest, I'm feeling the worse for wear today & need to sit here, to rest up a bit. Heck - I know the surgeon said it would take a while to get over the surgery - but... it's been 5 weeks now, I would of thought I would be well on the way to recovery !!
Nevermind..... everything went better than I expected, so things are not all bad !! I even surprised the physio's !! To explain....
The day of the surgery - well... about 6 hours after it..... I got myself out of bed & went to the bathroom & boy o' boy, did I get into trouble over that !! Having had spinal surgery, I guess they thought I should piss in a bottle or something !! Anyhoo - I felt the need & I felt strong enough, sooooo I took a few steps to the loo.....
The following day, the physio's came over to see me & bollock me for "rushing things"........ But, as I explained to them, I felt strong enough & wanted to have a pee - so, I went walkies !! Long story made short...
...... they asked if I could walk a bit, to show them. Sooooo - not only did I go for about a 75 yd walk, but I climbed a flight of stairs, using my sticks, left foot, right foot, in turn. That was enough for them..... from that moment on, they left me alone.... for the rest of my 4 week stay !! Great stuff !!
That's how things went really..... I felt really strong after the surgery. I thought I might be stuck in bed for a week, getting over it all..... but, nope - things went really well !! Not only that - but, the specialist nurses were really happy & surprised at my progress..... so I guess I was pleased about that..... it's nice to surprise people, even those who thought I would be a "human jellyfish" !! Oh well.....
As the ladies are out - I've got the music down to deafening & Iced Earth are blasting their 'Metal Camp, Slovenia' DVD out thru' the Bose....... I don't play these concerts - from the 'Festivals Of The Wicked' box set enough !! They are really great.... brilliant bits of music !!

At this very moment 'A Question Of Heaven' is blasting out... well good !! I bought this box set, back in 2011 - while in Birmingham, for the Gregg Allman concert. Not only did we see one of my all time favourite singer/songwriters - but, I came home with a bundle of goodies as well !! Check out Iced Earth.... really good !!
