Not pleased to report I’m still in hospital following new lung collapse and heavy pleural effusion full of blood.
Suspected fungal infection with fluid sent for analysis but a few days after draining more fluid appeared.
Heading off this week for rehab on my neuropathic legs which refuse still to go upstairs.
I’ve suggested to the hospital physios to place a bottle of Merlot on the top stair and see if that makes a difference.
Father Adrian still won’t give me wine at communion despite serious bribery attempts… a man who takes his job far too bloody serious!
Read with interest robots carried out major heart surgery, another patient had all her blood removed and frozen while the surgeons dealt with multiple tumours yet they still can’t deliver a piece of toast and cup of tea above 4 degrees to my room.
Finally, the good people of Syria can sleep easily in their beds tonight and let us all pray a new stable democratic government will rise up very soon.
Catch up soon.
Mr B xxxx

so sorry to hear you are still in hospital and having so many issues. I take my hat off to you for remaining so cheerful and still able to make us laugh.
I really hope you will be up those stairs and on your way home very soon.
Mr B, your light will always shine in the darkness! I will think of happy tunes to play for you, but you won't need stairs to reach the musical extravaganza. Just a beating heart. 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Like your style and sense of humour , it stands you in good stead , I too shall take a leaf out of your book and hope that you manage to get a glass of Merlot soon 😁
Goodness I'm sorry to read this MrB, there may be no Merlot but you're in the best place to be looked after. Thinking of you and wish tge best for rehab sessions. ××
Hi Mr B, so sorry to hear you are still being detained with no privileges. I hope you are released soon and are able to put this sorry situation behind you. 😉
I don't know how you manage to keep your sense of humour, though I do know it's a way of keeping you sane!
I wish you and St. Mrs B a very Happy Christmas xx
I'm so sorry that you are having such a terrible time with your lung going down and all of the fluid. Your ability to make us laugh is incredible. I know how awful it actually is. I do hope that they can get to the bottom of it and get you back to normal.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re still forced to consume the chilly tea and toast - wishing you all the best to getting back to a glass of something far more palatable soon 🍷
I’m very sorry to hear you’re still dealing with so much, but your sense of humour shines through and raises our spirits nevertheless. I hope we can hear better news from you soon. Best wishes.
So sorry to hear you are still in Hospital. Just keep getting back up when things knock you down. Your sense of humour keeps you going. Never lose that. Listen to some music and chill out. The stairs will still be there waiting for you.
Oh, dear, Mr B! What is the world coming to when you can't get a decent cuppa and toast?! And as for that Father Adrian, he needs a lesson in 'customer care'. I'm sorry to hear things are not going so well but perhaps the rehab will yield some results so you can get up the stairs again. I suggest a nice drop of brandy at the top might be a better incentive, but if you'd rather have wine, tell them to make it a decent bottle!!
I hope they soon get your lung issue sorted so that you can start moving forward in other ways too.
Meanwhile, your sense of humour does you credit and has given us a chuckle, but let's not ignore the seriousness of what's going on for you.
So sorry to hear you're still going through the mill. Perhaps as a special treat, when you eventually get that bottle of merlot, they will warm it up nice and hot. Much love to you and Mrs. B. It's a bit early for Christmas greetings, but Advent greetings instead. xxx💖💗💗💖
Oh, dear Mr.B. you are one tough cookie! Hang on in there and don't ever let the bu****s get you down. Agreed, hopeful news about Syria, so I'll be sending positive vibes to them as well as you. Keep smiling and get well very soon. Sally xx
Oh Mr B so sorry to hear you re still in hospital, but delighted to read you still have a wicked sense of humour. I do hope things improve quickly for you and you can get home to a hot cuppa and warm toast x
You don't do thing by half do you. Think of that nice glass of merlot waiting for you, it will taste so good. Hopefully your next update will be better. Chin up x🍷
So sorry to hear you're in the wars but it's a relief that your sense of humour isn't suffering. Just hope you'll soon be sorted and able to enjoy the merlot, a votre sante🍷. Joy
Hi again, my hubby's neuropathy has deteriorated quite a lot over the past 3 years. It's also complicated by rheumatoid vasculitis. He was admitted to hospital 10 days ago as his right foot turned the colour of red wine and he couldn't weight bear. Appears he also has hardening of the arteries but never smoked, low cholesterol and none of the usual cause for hardening applies to him. We've been told he'll never walk again as the damaged arteries together with vasculitis will not improve despite infusions with gold standard infusions. The options are amputation of leg below the knee or palliative care to cope with pain as there is no cure for the problem. Hubby's neurologist said he thought the cause of the neuropathy was vasculitis so he had a nerve biopsy which confirmed this not long after the neuropathy diagnosis. We're still trying to come to terms with this and as he has numerous health problems and has been told on the past he's too frail for operation we have chosen palliative care, especially as vascular surgeon said the op would be higher risk than for other people. So it would probably be worthwhile checking out the cause of your neuropathy. Hope your neuropathy improves, the neurologist told us the nerves may repair but it a very long slow process and may never happen. Let's hope for a better 2025 than 2024. Joy
