On the up

Today is an anniversary, significant for some people but probably not for others - it's 4 years since I last had a drink! (alcoholic that is!).

I note that my health problems started from that date, not month or week but day! That bank holiday weekend I caught a really bad urine infection - could that make me a stand-in for HRH? - following a routine cystoscopy on the Friday.

We were in Stamford, looking at possible locations post retirement and made a rush for home in some discomfort, preferring to be treated in Reading. Since then it's all gone wrong! but then as a blogger of considerable stamina, you'd know that!

Since the last blog things have improved, with support from the Stoma Nurses, such that we have booked 2 weeks in Malta. We've not been there before but hear good things about it.

I'm coping with not driving much better than I expected. I have my disabled rail card and been to Oxford for an EEG, an interesting experience - 24 probes stuck to my head and an hours trace - awake, resting and with a strobe light pulsing at various speeds. The Technician didn't say anything, they never do, but the vibes were that nothing showed up.
