Okay,okay,I,Give In!!

Right I can only take so much of all this nagging by you all to get my arse (sorry Mother!!) in gear and start entertaining you all again so, just to jeep you quiet for a minute here’s a bit of an update. God this update thing is being used far too much on this blog, even I can see that with the state my eyes are in, which leads me nicely into the first topic for today. My Eyes. Since you ask ehings have not been well on the eye front, in fact they have recently caused me to spend a few days at Heath Towers where they were only too glad to see me, but strangely seemed a lot more happy when I was leaving, which I put down to the fact I had cheered them all up with my usual wit and charm!! I had got another infection in my right eye again where the tear duct had again blocked up. Thankfully a few days on IV’s and then I was kicked out, I mean allowed to come home!! They are now planning to do an operation on my eye to put in a drain tube into my nose to stop this happening again. Still have the GVHD though which is causing the usual problems with my seeing things properly, like when driving my chariot through Heath Towers with my eyes pretty much closed. You ought to try it, its great fun using peoples legs and feet to keep you going in the right direction. Its amazing how many people turn around and appologise to me when I’ve slammed full pelt into their ankles Ha Ha Ha!! Next I guess is Merlin and the Willy Wonky Light Machine Thingy. Not much progress of late apart from him saying that the head of finance was keen to see this treatment go ahead. Last but by no means least, for now anyhow, because I know you lotmoan like hell when the blogs are too long, is the Building Extention. Good news all round on that score. The grant has been approved last week so the next step is a site meeting here in Jonnys Den on 27th March then work is expected to commence 2 weeks later. I’m off to mother dearests for the duration of the build so no bacon and cement sandwiches for me thank god. Thankfully she foesn’t live too far away so although I have to change a few things like GP’s and District Nurses and the bed supplier all the hospital stuff can remain the same. Mum and Dad have been slaving away for ages trying to get things just right for my grand arrival and it will be very much appreciated, Thanks A Million Mum & Dad.

Right then punishment over for today, for both of us I think. I’m off to rest my eyes and may I sugest you relax and help yourself to a stiff one to regain your sanity??

See Ya!!

Hey - good to see another post - and being the eternal optimist - lots of good things happening. If the eye drain helps sort out the infection problem that will make life a bit easier (although I'm sure you don't want it too cushy NOT!) and brilliant news on the major building project and John Mansions - just hope the builders get a wiggle on and get it all done quickly.

And great news from the chief bean counter about the elcro light thingy whatnot (photo-pheresis) so I hope that referral happens soon!

Very much Onwards and Upwards! (and not before time!!!)
