n.b. i was speaking to a nurse at my GP's yesterday ( "Annual Health Check") and she was telling me that Covid has reappeared and maybe the 'cold' mentioned in this facebook post was actally mild covid...?

I've been enhancing some neglected photos. This one has come out really well I think.

.A Pint in Mytholmroyd.....

A hot and frustrating day today! Me & Cathy traveled into Huddersfield this afternoon to see my Surgeon . I was hoping on news on if they wanted to remove my gallbladder. From what he said to me , that still looks likely , however that's on hold because some CAT scan results received last Thursday show i have enlarged portacavel lymp nodes in my abdomen.. " The Abdomenal Gods" in Leeds will meet tomorrow ( in my abscess ) to decide if i need a camera down my throat & have a general poke about!. So it drags on. It's been 9 months already, and ( whatever happens) this whole saga will drag on into a second year. I mean i feel fine, both physically & mentally but it's all a it of a ball-ache and extremely boring. 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥, 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞,, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐭!

I am ok with all this . "Past Caring" is my attitude at the moment . I share this here partly out of hypochondria ( i have suffered from this all my life!) And partly just to keep folk updated.
