Another quarantine date.... bummer !!

Hi again Mr & Mrs Universe....

How are you all doing this beautiful Saturday evening ?! Of course, where you are, it might not be Saturday at all - but some strange day, that we poor Earthlings will never know, or understand !!

As it is, it's about 7pm & I'm still in the mad house - known as Taunton hospital......... it actually has a proper name, but you can look that up, if you feel so inclined to do so !! Just call it the "mad house" and I'll settle for that........ ain't life grand ?!

It' been a very upsetting day here...... for some dumb reason, our quarantine has been extended until Tuesday of next week !! That means, that we are stuck here - with out being allowed to go outside, or with-out seeing our loved ones !!

It's pissed me off - as I'm nearly 72 hours past my quarantine & had hoped to be allowed to see B, either here, on the ward, or (at least) outside...... but, no...... the ward is still on lock down & will be for the next 3 days, give or take !!

I'm not alone - quite a few of us, are past our deadlines, but the powers that be have decided to screw with us & keep us "locked up" until they see fit.

I had hoped to go to Chapel, tomorrow - but, the Chaplain is coming here, to see me.... which is good, it's going to be good to see a different face  and to take the Sacrament again !! We missed last week, as we were all too sick.... Ho-hum.....

I spoke to B about it, just a few minutes, before staring these words...... we're both upset, by the prolonged gap, in seeing each other - even more so, as I could of blagged my way home, on Friday, but decided to take the advice of the Physio-terrorist !! It was them, who wanted me to stay, because of my legs..... oh well......

I did some walking today... and went quite a ways further than before !! By this time - next year - I might be able to walk all the ways home.... that would be fun !! I would like to tackle the steps, in the morning.... but I don't see that happening.

The last 2 times, that I've had surgeries here, I've done the steps on the day after the operations..... not a chance this time tho' - my legs just don't want to work & that's all I can say really !!

I've had 12 spinal surgeries & each time, I've managed to walk soon afterwards........ this time, with-out any surgery, I'm completely messed up !! Bummer !!

Nevermind  Newcastle drew with Liverpool 2-2......... sorry about that M !! We knew you needed the extra point, so they decided not to beat you !! Life is good......

As for the music of the moment......

I'm listening to 'Encore' - the old Tangerine Dream live album. It's been on the Mini Egg, since the very beginning, so I thought I ought to play it, from time to time !! I had it as a Lp... now as a Cd.

The track are:

1) Cherokee Lane
2) Monolight
3) Coldwater Canyon
4) Desert Dream

Each track used to fit on one side of the double Lp.... so each are quite long - and I do love long live tracks !! That's just me, I guess..... long (old) & live-ish !! Nevermind....... There is very little to do here, except read & listen to music - I can put up with that, as long as they lift the bloody quarantine !!

Right, my plans for tonight...... none at all really !! I might frighten the staff, by taking an un-announced walk, that should be fun !! Anything to break up the boredom....... I must be feeling better !!

Which reminds me - my CRP has dropped to 7 !! So - from being 360+ - when I came in, I'm really starting to mend. My all time lowest was 6 - so I can live with 7....... things are starting to look up !!

I better be on my ways.... it's getting up to 8pm & I'm too bushed to do any more this evening. Sooooo wherever you may be, from America, to Australia & beyond.... thank's for logging in & for reading my words..... until next time.....

Bye Bye
