A quick update

Apologies for not posting ‘part 2’ as promised. I have decided it isn’t quite ready.

Yesterday I visited Chalfont where Jermaine currently lives.

I’m not going to go into large explanations of how I feel, just give the facts as anyone that knows me will know how I feel and anyone that doesn’t can imagine well enough.

Speaking to the consultant it appears that a recent EEG showed constant epilepsy within his head. In other words, Jermaine’s life is one long seizure.

The doctor was quite blunt about it and I prefer that. He said that this level of activity is doing rapid and permanent damage to his brain and will eventually kill him and that is assuming that he doesn’t just have one last massive seizure than kills him anyway. In short, he gave the impression that Jermaine’s life expectancy is not going to be measured in a great many years. I think he was preparing me for something much sooner but only time will clarify that.

With this new information it is now reasonably certain that the Kettering home will be unsuitable as his health needs become more acute. He will remain in Chalfont for another 4 months or so or until I can find something more local that is suitable.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
