Hmmm, yes, well, haven’t written anything here since January (o mea culpa) and while I’ve sat down to post many times the words just haven’t made the transition from brain to keypad. Let’s face it, it’s been a tough few months and I am not a good conversationalist in these sorts of circumstances. So … [...]
Regardless of the impression you may get reading my bloggy-thing, I really, truly, honestly, don’t whinge much about health stuff In Real Life! Mostly it’s just to Tuxedo and he’s aware of what’s going on before I properly vocalise it, due to whimpering and crying during sleep, and the involuntary moans and grunts when I [...]
Hell yeah, just what I needed – another major health crisis.
You may have got the impression, even if you’re an occasional visitor here, that Otterkat and her mother do not get on too well. I’d love to have a nice, relaxed, easy, sharing relationship with my mum, but I don’t. The hardest part is that she’s still my mum, I still love her, but sometimes [...]
The weather here lately has been horrific, a nightmare. Since Christmas it’s been over 35C every day, heading up to 38C and 40C, with crazy humidity. Our dog-box of a flat is vile; it is dark and dingy and even when there’s a bit of a mid-afternoon or nightly sea-breeze, the design and placement is [...]
Well I’m back – not that I’ve actually been anywhere; the last few weeks have been pretty bad health/pain-wise [as in, worse than the usual status quo “bad”] and I haven’t felt much like posting. Time spent at the laptop has mostly been aimless web-surfing and drooling over yummy food I don’t have the energy [...]
All well here – unfortunately though I had a bit of a “relapse”. The procedure I had three weeks ago – the unpleasant and expensive invasive procedure on my neck to kill nerves in order to give me some relief from agonising pain – was pretty much a qualified success and I was beginning to [...]
Gah. Gah. GAH. A month and a half since I updated. GAH. There have been mitigating circumstances, but really I have no excuse except being a lazy good-for-nothing slob. House calls and hospitals. Blah. A couple of days after my last post – around 28 May – I had a serious, serious flare-up episode of [...]
This post is intended to balance out the recent prevalence of mushy I heart Tuxedo posts. The pain patch is doing a pretty good job; having a constant level of narcotics soaking into my system has helped smooth out the troughs I’d experience between doses, when the last dose was wearing off but before I [...]
I told you to beware the hiatus, right? So it’s been a while … I have had posts bubbling away in my fevered brain (or what passes for it, these days) – food, politics, engaging conversations, the joy of a new Santoku knife – but have not had the strength to get to the keyboard. [...]
