Christmas Eve could never be mistaken for the choicest date to undergo surgery, so I thought i’d get this done before the drugs stop kicking and the wound takes over…

Have a very merry Christmas—

It’s off to bed for a few days to look after myself…

job done clone

I thought the arrow was an especially nice touch!

Many thanks to the surgical team at the William Harvey Hospital…

It's one of the finest things we do; write about our lives, because not only do we reveal our minds through revelations our thoughts provide us— But it gives us an incentive to be honest... It's almost impossible not to consider the value of thoughts with the fairly steady flow of them; their rudimentary worth, relevance to our lives and the importance to the people who have them. It's easy to see how distorted a thought can become when left to constant re-examination and how faceless victim/culprit dichotomies are given grounding by a name or a hover-card. If the last few weeks has demonstrated anything, it's how something as simple as a pen-stroke can release the burden and stresses they invariably cause. I've had glimpses into how fears, confessions, pains and crises can be put right by words creating deeds by changing little parts of the world. And I shouldn't be surprised: we write about things and repeat ourselves about things that have meaning to us. It keeps me humble...

    1. Thank you – I can feel the ouch coming a bit sooner than I’d hoped, so I’m gonna try to get some sleep before the anaesthetic wears off completely – when I had the other arm done earlier in the year the first four days were unbearable. As if I need an excuse to be grumpy! 😀

  1. I hope that you have a successful operation and recover soon. My prayers are for you.
    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
    Don’t rest too much and come back soon enough before my prescribed dose of you dries out.
    All the best!
