A+E again

Its for jean this time she was rear ended in the no mercy car park. Bit of whiplash it seems my heads in sensory overload.

Wot no blog?

It hurts to type it hurts to think, so I am trying to cut down. Salvation arrives next week in the form of voice recognition software. A timely cheap offer for dragon dictate came this week and following advice from the blokely at the glaxo centre I have invested. Trying to act more like someome who has had a sub arch.

Buses

Losing my licence has had major consequences on travel. The big man is on the bus. A great social leveller believe you me. I don't feel good on a bus I panicf a lot. Is this the righjt bus. How much will it be. Which company is it? What's the protocol for queing? Where do I sit? I feel huge on a bus. Where do I get off? And the crunch what do I say to the driver to thank him for the conveyance. It is apparently now de rigeur to express thanks as you alight. When did that happen. As usual in my life I seem a novice and everyone else looks quietly assured. They all have buses sussed. The couple embark in a lively debate about the relative merits of saveaway, trio and dayrider. I obviously am the only dude paying cash.

Wednesday in Franks time to review.

Firstly a lambasting from Jean for not mentioning her teeth. Me, silly man, thought I was protecting her confidentiality. Not at all I am depriving her of much appreciated and required sympathy. I am full of admiration and respect but am so scared of dentists to even consider what she had done fills me with dread.
I am expecting similar delegation from the other member of the household regarding my lack of attention to the GCSE stuff.
So me a week since I seen Frank and how am I. Drinking less following discussions with the lifestyles nurse. Had corking headaches over the weekend, Monday thought of ringing Cairns ward to investigate if I had a gusher to cap. Jean came home dispensed analagesia, common sense and advised I re-read the book. Seems all within normal parameters but I need to rest more. Pah!
I wandered to Allerton road twice but on Monday was exhausated and had to get the bus back. Managed to walk it on Tuesday.
Decided to investigate bus passes apparently helpful lady tells me I can have one on mental health grounds or on the losing the licence issue. She promises to send me the required paperwork. I did a bit of work on new content for the web site but the effort leaves me exhausted. Everything takes 10 times longer has 4 times the errors and knakkers me three times as much.
Tuesday sees the delivery of my new Blackberry

Sore Sunday.

Stayed in bed most of day and didn't go out knakkered. Did a bit of html coding on the site but finding it difficult to concentrate and close vision seems to be detiorating. Loads of positive response from the email I sent out.

Visited yesterday by Sarah

A sleevester and straight woman helped me realise a few things and crystallise a few thoughts.
As a result I got round to explaining to people where I had been.
Dear friend colleague family member or acquaintance, apologies for the round robin nature of this email but I been missing in action in March. I felt I should update you all and remind you of my existence.
On the 2nd of March I was admitted to our local hospital following seizures and with a headache. I was given a CT scan the next day and treated conservatively with paracetamol. I complained of pain all weekend and got to see a junior Doctor on Sunday evening, he looked at the CT report and examined me. This resulted in a 3am transfer to the specialist Neurological centre, where that morning I had a CT angiogram, and that afternoon coil embolization, (http://www.brainandspine.org.uk/information/publications/brain_and_spine_booklets/coiling_of_brain_aneurysms/index.html) of a ruptured aneurysm in my middle cerebral artery. I was left with some pain following the sub arachnoid haemorrhage but mercifully no neurological deficit. Discharged on the following Friday and with feeling at first denial and now anger I am only really left with extreme general tiredness as a symptom. Those who know me well would know I would appreciate a big bandage or at least a t-shirt.
So if I owe you an email, or haven’t called you, or appeared to drop off the face of the earth then I hope this explains. I continue to interfere in WLSinfo, and will return. I am on sick leave from the small part time permitted work I had at Abbey Sefton, again I hope to return.
I am building up exercise stamina, surrendering my driving license has increased steps walked and immersing myself in photography, a rekindled passion. I also wanted to say thanks for the positive thoughts and wishes sent my way and again it would appear that I still have a job to do in this world and not planning on checking out yet. So if I haven’t done something then apols but will be in touch.
Regards
