Oh dear, ear … I seem to have blown it :-( Judging by the way it feels and the blood, I think I may be safe to presume my eardrum has gone again in my right ear. Do I want to risk having another operation even assuming they would offer me one? I guess, like always, it’s not the hearing that is the point, it’s the constant infections and with my reduced immunity, I can’t much take the risk. So, I shall give it a few days to settle down and go off to see the doc for a wasted trip because they won’t be able to see anything. That means some spray which won’t do anything so they shall have to send me to the hospital to get it cleaned which will takes weeks. Then they will tell me they can’t do anything because I am only there to have it cleaned but the ear drum is broken so I shall have to see my GP to make an appointment to go back. If I am lucky, I may see someone late summer! I am so glad the NHS works so well.
I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...
