Happy New Year
Wishing everyone Health, Wealth and Happiness for 2026. It’s been a really tough year and so long as I don’t watch the news I can still hope that the new year will bring some peace and joy.
My biggest nightmare had been that my op make no difference at all, unfortunately I hadn’t counted on it making things a whole lot worse. It’s been a slow tough recovery and I am not as good as I was when I went into it. After the New Year they are arranging more imaging and tests to try and figure out what has gone wrong and why I am now hypersensitive to everything, blown up like a beached whale about to give birth to a concrete gargoyle. Heavy, painful and as usual no one knows what the hell is going on. Figure worst case I may end up with a new garden ornament. My photography has been a bit curtailed but I try and get out for a walk as often as I can. The weather is cool and very wet for summer so it’s not as often as I would like.
They say that your gut controls your brain and I swear it does. Memory and focus is toast and I have no idea where time goes. Every now and then I have a good day and it’s like waking up, doesn’t last long but gives me hope when this is done I might get back to being my weird version of normal.
