This and that: Frustration!
http://theotheralig.blogspot.com/2013/06/frustration.html
Musings and wonderings about a world that constantly charms and amazes me - and just occasionally infuriates me! Tuesday, 25 June 2013. Shaking so badly I cannot write. Becoming breathless getting dressed. Being unable to pick up the basket of wet washing. Realising changing the bed is beyond me. No longer being able to eat a three course meal - mostly one course is too much. Having to accept a strict regime of medication. That I cannot go out for the day without a wheelchair. I can only do light cooking.

Musings and wonderings about a world that constantly charms and amazes me - and just occasionally infuriates me! Saturday, 25 May 2013. The monsoon arrived. Week 1. I will soon be running out of analogies for my titles so really hope this run of hospitalisations stops soon. I was nil by mouth from 6am. By 9.15pm the ward staff and Mr G were becoming very concerned, I had had nothing to eat or drink for 15 hours, and we still did not know if I was to have surgery or not. On Saturday morning I felt a bit m...

Musings and wonderings about a world that constantly charms and amazes me - and just occasionally infuriates me! Monday, 18 June 2012. A few months ago I had my first meeting with a Genetics specialist from Oxford at Northampton General Hospital., regarding a possible genetic link between my sister's breast cancer and my ovarian cancer. We were, she said, both 'young' to have suffered our respective cancers, I loved her immediately! She said some women choose to have prophylactic mastectomies. I had ...

Musings and wonderings about a world that constantly charms and amazes me - and just occasionally infuriates me! Sunday, 20 January 2013. Fixing Ali. a work in many parts. Post moved to This and That - better place for it. I've been off work for quite a few weeks now. I've been seeing my GP and my therapist regularly. I've also seen Occupational Health. This all means that I've actually been working hard at getting well. To my total amazement and joy I have already sold six pieces in three weeks. I have ...

Musings and wonderings about a world that constantly charms and amazes me - and just occasionally infuriates me! Monday, 27 May 2013. The Monsoon Week 2. Firstly - something amazing happened. One of the surgeons involved with my drain removal apologised to me, in the canteen. I nearly fell off my chair. Conversations with staff on the ward have persuaded me that this is highly unusual behaviour. I am pleased to say I was gracious to him. Did I mind the chocolate cake on my pink robe? Sunday saw me all in...

Tovo Infusions in Chennai Review – Basically it’s an Indian Nandos. October 27, 2014. Tovo is a fairly new restaurant in Chennai on RK Salai just opposite the Woodlands and Savera hotels. I had the opportunity to check it out one Sunday evening with my wife and our friends. I didn’t read any reviews. About the place before hand, I just knew that it was vaguely related to fusion food – whatever that means. Continue reading →. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

Musings and wonderings about a world that constantly charms and amazes me - and just occasionally infuriates me! Monday, 22 April 2013. It is now 12 days since I was fitted with my peritoneal drain to help manage my ascites (fluid collecting within my peritoneum). This is affectionately known as my ding-a-ling. The reddening above the foam pad is where the drain was 'tunnelled' under my skin to keep it secure and reduce infection. Here is a picture of the contents of the blue pack. Links to this post.

Musings and wonderings about a world that constantly charms and amazes me - and just occasionally infuriates me! Saturday, 1 June 2013. You only need to ask. Another no holds barred post. just so no-one gets a nasty surprise. From time to time, we hear heart-rending stories of how people have died in appalling pain seemingly without adequate pain relief. One article I read stated that their relative had had to suffer without adequate pain relief, being in excruciating agony for the last hour between four...

Musings and wonderings about a world that constantly charms and amazes me - and just occasionally infuriates me! Friday, 22 March 2013. Tell it like it is. Have I curled up into a ball and rocked and wept, pulling the blanket over my head? What difference would it make? In the scheme of things that is the new path for my life, what difference would that make to how it all ends. This makes me better off than many others. By Oriah Mountain Dreamer. Tuesday, 19 March 2013. What am I beyond angry about?
