How Life Can Change ... in the blink of an eye.

Those who know me ..... will know that I have had a bad back over the last 6 or 8 years.  Happened after 3 non fault car accidents in the learner car ..... all 3 hit up the arse!  One at a zebra crossing as there was someone on it, so we stopped, one at a roundabout which was very busy, the guy behind did not as he was in a hurry to catch a plane at the airport, and the third, we were stopped at a red traffic light and the lady didn't stop (camera footage showed she was on the phone and looking at her child in the back seat!

After seeing 2 chiropractors, several different doctors and a couple of Physios, I eventually got an MRI scan booked.  The MRI experience was OK, and the follow up was booked for end of the month, 28 days away!.  2 days later I was with the Consultant and she told me that I had a tumor on my spine.

That was a bit of a shock.  She asked how was I still walking?  I dunno as I had just walked to the hospital and went up 3 flights of stairs!  She said no work, no stretching and no lifting. but I can still drive.

So had to cancel 6 trailer tests and 7 pupils.

Now all I have to do is fill in the, for me, very complex and pointless forms and hand over my 2 month sick note, although I have been told there could be another 5 of these after the operation.

This along with the sale of the Quay House progressing, at a snails pace, and all the work needed to be done at home, sort the garden, take down a shed and replace it with another one and get Apollo sorted, life is a bit of a pain.

But ...... it wont be long and I will be back.
