I'm BACK

[Plumbob]

Hi folks hope you are all still sucking it in Been of the site for a few months whilst I've been prodded and poked by several consultants and even had medical results sent Australia for analysis in the mean time they have just kept me on steroids to keep me going as I am only transferring 50% of the oxygen my body requires and ferritin levels which they can't stop is still increasing 1800 at the last count (300 is the max normal level) .

As a result of all the prodding and poking, the consultants are still scratching their heads and I'm still on steroids (coming up to 4 months now and knocking hell out of me but they keep me breathing).

Still feeling rough but still smiling though I did go through a low point but no worse than anyone else? Just got to keep 'Sucking it in '

I have a couple of friends raising money for the BLF so will be posting details soon

Hopefully might get back to doing my ' Weekend Wit' soon

In the mean time 'Keep Breathing X

Cheers Colours - I'm no further forward health wise - But just decided to give my head a shake and get on with things to the best of my ability - I've never been negative but was getting frustrated with inabilities. But the bells gone and I'm back out for the next round of fighting

[Colours23 in reply to Plumbob]

That's the spirit!

Thought you had completely dropped off the radar Plumbob! It's great to have you back again. Bit of a medical enigma then? You've even got the Aussies stomped lad!

Anyway Plumbob, now's the time to take those rollers out and wow us with your new hairdo.
