Hi all, its been a while since I last put a post on due to having a virus problem in my right eye which has made looking at a computer screen pretty unbearable. Ive been trying to keep an eye on things, whoops sorry about that, but this virus is a nasty little blighter and can do some pretty serious damage when its active. I picked up this little addition to my list of problems when in ICU 3 years ago whilst trying to stay in the land of the living. The problem was that this virus was eating away at my eyesight while there was far more important things keeping the consultants and nurses very busy such as keeping me alive, by the time I was fit enough to be wheeled across to the eye hospital across the road my eyesight had been damaged in the right eye. Well the same virus has rared its ugly little head once again but at least this time I was aware of what its capable of and got an emergency appointment at the eye hospital, they started treatment straight away with two different eye drops and some antivirus tablets. Things seem to be improving slowly and I am able to wright this post with my sun glasses on so I guess I'm back reading and posting again.

I'm also temporarily off the transplant list while I have an abscess on my bum sorted out :( , at least it all takes my mind off my lungs which are running now at a high of 30% so at least all is well where it really matters and I should be home for Christmas too. :)

As you can see in the pic I'm still rocking while exercising and I recommend it to you all.

Tony

The lungs come first eh' Jane and the other stuff, well they avn't stopped me from Rocking yet. Remember Jane 'rock and exercise' is the way to go with a bit of air guitar to get those lungs puffing.

Oh deat, dall05, what a pain in the eye!! I do hope it is much better plus the boil on your bum. I see there is some exercising going on. Take big care, and rest your eyes when possible. Too much screen isn't a good idea.

On the positive side, you can now do fancy dress very easily ............. LOL. Rats, on the abscess - I had one and had to sit on a rubber ring and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so erred on the laughing side. :) x

Did I read you were a pain in the a**** ? No sorry have a pain in the bum, which brings me to the head of the list. If I creep up quietly on your right side, I could nick your choccies, better not may end up on the wrong side of one of those weights. So all that's left is to toss a coin and see if it comes up head or tails.

OK done now - sorry you're in a bit of bother but know you have the strength of mind and body to see (oops) those pesky microbes off. All I can say is 'out damn spot'. - Dozy x
