I’ve been having a pretty easy time of things health wise
just lately ,teeth , hearing and general health not giving me too much trouble - until
last week that is.
I was at Barbara’s
bungalow in Stowmarket when out of the blue it suddenly hit me. My myeloma that
is , which although it was diagnosed 9 years ago I had never had any kind of reaction
from it and was only aware of it through regular blood tests. It came without
any kind of warning at all, was extremely painful and as I was to discover
caused some quite severe damage.
Barbara managed to manhandle me into her car and rushed me
straight to the local hospital in nearby Bury St Edmunds and that’s where I
woke up about 4 hours later not having the faintest idea where I was.
I soon discovered that they had found major
deterioration of a bone in my upper arm and that I had immediately undergone a major operation to
deal with it by fitting a permanent metal splint in the arm. The operation was
a success and although the arm is in a sling I can move it about and there is
not too much pain. I have a review of
the situation in 3 days time and hope I will be out of the sling by the Xmas holidays.
In the meantime I think that Barbara has found a very
nice mature local man to deal with the garden , trees and etc; and even
possibly some general handyman work.
Our local park.
We will have a very quite Xmas here in Stowmarket for
the holiday but Barbara has planned one of her usual magnificent buffets for
the new year for family and neighbours who are on their own . Our grandchildren are no longer children but
grown up with their own lives but I expect we shall still see them from time to
time – I do hope so anyway.
